Actively Validated Services (AVS)

Actively Validated Services (AVS): AVS are decentralized services that inherit Ethereum's security through EigenLayer. They leverage Ethereum's pooled security resources to support a variety of networks and services. Examples of AVS include:

• EigenDA: A service developed by EigenLabs that focuses on hyperscale data availability for any execution layer. It scales with each added node, reducing the overall load on Node Operators. Notable adopters include Celo, Mantle, and Fluent.

• Espresso Systems: This service creates a shared sequencer for rollup decentralization, improving interoperability and scalability. It captures value through cross-rollup MEV.

• Lagrange: Known for its ZK-powered cross-chain messaging, Lagrange leverages EigenLayer restaking for dynamic scaling of state proof security.

• Omni Network: An L1 network built using Cosmos SDK for cross-rollup messaging, offering lower transaction fees and fast finality.

• Blockless: Provides ZK verifiable serverless functions to optimize decentralized applications, secured by EigenLayer's transaction consensus.

• Hyperlane: Uses EigenLayer to safeguard interchain application developers' messages from Ethereum, utilizing restaked economic security.
