EigenLayer Enhances Integrations with Mantle Network and ZKsync
EigenLayer has strengthened its integrations with Mantle Network and ZKsync, adopting EigenDA for data availability and AVSs for decentralized zero-knowledge proving. This enhances EigenLayer's position in Ethereum's modular security framework.
Key facts include:
- EigenLayer commands approximately $9.4 billion in total value locked (TVL).
- Symbiotic holds about $1 billion in TVL.
Top AVSs by economic security are:
- EigenDA: $8.8 billion
- eoracle: $7.9 billion
- Witness Chain: $7.6 billion
- Lagrange ZK Prover: $7.3 billion
- Cyber MACH: $7.2 billion
EigenLayer's lack of slashing on its mainnet allows validators to earn additional rewards without the risk of losing their stake, attracting more capital inflows. In contrast, Symbiotic’s slashing mechanism introduces risks that may deter participation.
Mantle Network and ZKsync Updates
Mantle Network has integrated EigenDA as its primary data availability layer, enhancing security and resilience:
- EigenDA supports 15MB/s throughput versus Ethereum’s 0.0625MB/s.
- $335 million in restaked assets back Mantle’s data availability.
- A broader set of operators reduces downtime risks.
ZKsync has designated EigenDA as its preferred altDA solution, enabling scalable data storage and integrating EigenLayer AVSs for zk proving:
- AVSs compete in a marketplace, lowering proving costs.
- Modular security is expanded using Ethereum restaked assets.
EigenLayer continues to grow beyond restaking, reflecting increased demand for modular blockchain infrastructure.
