About us
To build coordination engines that empower open innovation.
Built on Ethereum, EigenLayer pioneered restaking—allowing validators to reuse their staked ETH to secure additional protocols beyond Ethereum itself. This creates a shared security marketplace where new projects can bootstrap trust without building their own consensus layers. The company has evolved into EigenCloud, a verifiable compute platform designed for the age of AI agents. While agents can increasingly write code and coordinate work, production systems lack reliable ways to verify what agents actually did or who should get paid. EigenCloud addresses this by making agent execution verifiable, contributions attributable, and outcomes trustworthy through cryptographic guarantees. The team operates remotely with hubs in Seattle and New York, emphasizing intellectual curiosity, collaborative problem-solving, and building real systems that people depend on.
Products
EigenCloud bundles four core services: EigenCompute adds cryptographic trust to applications without code changes, supporting any programming language on any blockchain. EigenAI provides deterministic AI inference with OpenAI API compatibility, ensuring verifiable results. EigenDA delivers tamper-resistant data availability with high throughput and sub-second confirmations for rollups. The underlying EigenLayer protocol serves as the trust foundation, allowing users to stake ETH and EIGEN tokens to secure the entire stack. Developers access these through AgentKit, comprehensive documentation, and a CLI for building verifiable applications, autonomous agents, and trust-minimized systems.
Funding
EigenLayer has raised $241 million across four funding rounds since 2022. The company secured a $50 million Series A in February 2023, followed by a $100 million Series B in February 2024. Most recently, it raised $70 million in June 2025, led by Andreessen Horowitz. Other investors include Blockchain Capital, Polychain Capital, and Coinbase Ventures. The protocol is backed by billions of dollars in slashable stake on EigenLayer, creating economic security for the applications built on top. Revenue reached an estimated $18.9 million in 2025 as the ecosystem expanded beyond basic restaking into AI agents and verifiable compute.
Recent news
In a significant development on April 17, 2026, EigenLayer activated production slashing on its mainnet, exposing approximately $15-18 billion in restaked ETH to real cryptoeconomic risk for the first time and transforming restaking into a product with a concrete risk model. Additionally, in June 2026, Eigen Labs proposed the formation of an Incentives Committee (ELIP-12) to optimize EIGEN token emissions, introduce a fee-based buyback model for cloud services, and align ecosystem incentives to support long-term protocol growth.
Technology
Backend systems are built primarily in Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript, with Solidity for smart contracts. Infrastructure runs on AWS using Kubernetes and Terraform for orchestration. Agent systems integrate frameworks like LangChain, AutoGen, and CrewAI for multi-agent coordination. Workflow engines include Temporal and Airflow for complex orchestration. The platform incorporates vector databases and retrieval systems for agent memory. Observability relies on Datadog and Prometheus for monitoring distributed systems. Frontend development uses React, while CI/CD pipelines support rapid iteration on both infrastructure and agent runtime systems.
Benefits
Salaries range from $187,000 to $253,000 for senior roles, plus equity and token compensation. Medical, dental, and vision insurance is fully covered for US employees starting day one. The 401(k) includes company matching up to 4% total. Remote work is supported with a setup stipend, and the team gets unlimited flexible time off. Monthly wellness benefits provide $200 for health-related expenses. Annual company off-sites bring the distributed team together. Parental leave includes 16 weeks paid for new mothers and 10 weeks for new fathers. International hires receive benefits adapted to local requirements through the company's employer of record arrangements.
