PANews reported on August 27 that according to Cointelegraph, EigenLayer's data availability solution EigenDA now supports native token re-staking for the Layer2 expansion network in addition to Ethereum. The announcement stated: "Teams can now re-stake their ERC-20 tokens to ensure the custom quorum of their rollup, thereby unlocking stronger security for rollup users and providing token holders with token benefits."
EigenDA is the first and largest “Active Validation Service” (AVS) launched on EigenLayer. According to the EigenLayer website, it is secured by approximately 3.6 million re-staked ETH and 71.5 million EIGEN contributed by more than 128,000 stakers. Native token re-staking on EigenDA allows Layer2 to create custom consensus mechanisms, or “quorums,” to securely store and access data. It also expands the range of tokens that earn returns from re-staking. “With custom ERC20 token quorums being added to EigenDA, participants will soon be able to choose to support staking other tokens in the same way they stake ETH and EIGEN tokens,” the announcement stated.
