Seeing EigenDA data on @blockworksres is exciting. We are excited to improve EigenDA's visibility, which has not always been our strong suit. However, let's be clear: EigenDA does not trade security for performance or cost. Our team comes from EigenLayer, which secures over $18 billion daily and ranks among the top three most tested smart contract platforms globally. Security is our top priority, and I am confident in our exceptional security team. We focus on practical security: protecting users today above all else, not creating narratives. Most crypto attacks involve code integrity and upgrade control rather than dishonest or censoring validators. While we plan for the future, our priorities are clear: 1. Protect users from practical security risks 2. Scale 3. Protect users from theoretical security risks Practical security and scale take precedence over theoretical security. This prioritization is evident when you realize that most theoretical security discussions are narratives with little impact on end users. Take DAS as an example, which is often mentioned as a security measure. Solutions like Celestia’s DAS only work under the assumption that the adversary is naive, providing limited guarantees in real life. We believe adversaries are intelligent, so DAS, in its current form, offers minimal additional practical security and is therefore not our top priority. Nonetheless, it does create a compelling narrative. From adoption and results, our prioritization is paying off. We’ve attracted a group of fundamental innovators building for the future of Ethereum. For them, we have already scaled to 100 MB/s on the mainnet (announcement imminent), which is 75 times faster than our competitor. In Q3, while we take a break from scaling (or are we?), we will focus on some theoretical questions -addressing them with realistic rigor. All in all, EigenDA doesn’t trade off security with performance or cost. We focus on what matters concretely, not narratively.
3/ EigenDA, leveraging EigenLayer's restaking, quickly became the leading alt-DA, securing $1.8B in rollup value. Offering high throughput (~15 MiB/s), EigenDA trades some security for cost efficiency, adopted by Mantle, Celo, Aevo, and others prioritizing volume over absolute security.
