#EigenLayer Secures $70M From Andreessen Horowitz for Off-Chain Verification Platform


EigenLayer has raised $70 million from #a16z to launch EigenCloud, extending blockchain verification capabilities to off-chain applications.


The funding adds to Andreessen Horowitz's previous $100 million investment in the #Ethereum restaking protocol.


EigenCloud enables developers to build verifiable Web2 and AI applications without requiring blockchain expertise.


The platform addresses a fundamental limitation where blockchain apps could only verify on-chain activities.


EigenLayer now secures over $12 billion in total value locked, making it #Ethereum's largest restaking protocol.


#BlackRock's $2 billion BUIDL tokenized fund will use the platform to verify asset pricing data through Securitize.


Over 200 Autonomous Verifiable Services are currently live or in development on the verification network.
