EigenLayer Phase 2 Testnet — How to Participate
EigenLayer just launched their Phase 2 Testnet for Eigen Layer and Eigen DA. Phase 2 Mainnet to happen First Half of 2024.
Eigenlayer Launched their Phase 1 Mainnet this year. The Restaking protocol saw huge number of participants. 170,000 ETH has been restaked on the EigenLayer protocol so far.
With great improvement, Eigen Layer has Introduced Eigen DA and more Restaking opportunities.
The Phase 2 testnet is focused on onboarding Operators to Eigen Layer and Rollup Builders to Eigen DA. EigenDA will be the first service to be actively validated on EigenLayer which means the system relies on restaking and obtains validation through EigenLayer.
This phase enables ;
Operators to register on the network for validating for EigenDA
Restakers to delegate their stake to the Operators
Rollup Developer to integrate with EigenDA
