EigenLayer’s slashing testnet officially launched on December 20, 2024. This launch anticipates the approval of EigenLayer Improvement Protocol-002, which is pivotal for the upcoming mainnet deployment.
With a total value locked of approximately 15.4 billion USD, EigenLayer presents a Unique Stake Allocation feature. This allows validators to minimize slashing risks by linking parts of their stakes to specific Actively Validated Services (AVS).
Infura and RedStone are now integrated as Actively Validated Services within EigenLayer. This collaboration is expected to enhance security and functionality while improving restaking rewards starting January 2025.
