In this episode of the Open Metaverse Podcast, we demystify the buzz surrounding EigenLayer, a revolutionary project set to supercharge Ethereum.

EigenLayer is presented as a platform that empowers middleware to leverage Ethereum's robust security, thereby broadening the horizons for trustless innovation.

In addition, we delve into the potential risks tied to re-staking, EigenLayer's unique business model, and the necessity and value proposition of having a native middle-layer token of Ethereum in the presence of EigenLayer.

We further address a key question: Does EigenLayer compromise the existing security and social consensus of Ethereum?
