This week DIN spotlights EigenCloud, the new developer platform from Eigen Labs that extends blockchain-grade trust and verifiability to any application, on-chain or off-chain. Built on top of the EigenLayer restaking protocol and secured by the $EIGEN token, EigenCloud unifies third-party Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVSs) with first-party primitives such as EigenDA (data availability) and verifiable compute.
Most dApps still rely on centralized infrastructure for heavy computation or data availability, losing the cryptographic guarantees that make blockchains valuable. EigenCloud fixes this by giving developers a “verifiable cloud” where every API call, data store, or off-chain workload inherits crypto-economic security from restaked ETH and EIGEN. AVSs plug into EigenCloud for slashing, rewards, and dispute resolution, making trust portable and programmable across Web3 and Web2 environments.
DIN launched its decentralized RPC marketplace on EigenLayer to tap into the same slashing and reward mechanics that power EigenCloud. By anchoring service-level guarantees in restaked collateral, DIN can:
Enforce uptime SLAs for critical RPC traffic
Guarantee latency with economic backing
Offer tiered service levels without manual policing
Publish verifiable performance metrics that builders can audit
EigenCloud views DIN as a model AVS that showcases how restaking aligns incentives among permissionless providers and end users.
EigenCloud supplies the crypto-economic backbone with staking, slashing, rewards, and on-chain proofs.
DIN focuses on developer experience through smart routing, multi-provider fail-over, and a permissionless marketplace for RPC.
Together they create a full-stack solution where infra performance is both measurable and economically enforced.
To learn more about EigenLayer slashing, our very own Tom Hay (DIN Head of Product) talks with Matt Nelson (Head of Product in EigenCloud) in this EigenLayer, Infura, and LayerZero conversation:
DIN is live on the EigenLayer testnet with slashing enabled, giving early node operators a sandbox to prove reliability before mainnet.
Reward distribution begins soon, letting DIN providers earn directly from restaked incentives while builders gain trustless service guarantees.
Community interest has surged after EigenLabs secured an additional $70 million token purchase from a16z to accelerate EigenCloud adoption.
Mainnet launch: DIN plans to migrate to EigenCloud mainnet with slashing and rewards fully active. Date is planned for Q4 2025 as we’re completing DIN AVS code review.
Expanded primitives: Future AVSs on EigenCloud including verifiable compute, data feeds, AI agents plans to plug into DIN’s gateway, giving builders a single entry point for many trust-minimized services.
Shared analytics: Both teams will explore real-time dashboards showing how restaked collateral backs RPC performance and other AVS workloads.
EigenCloud and DIN together demonstrate that decentralization can scale without sacrificing reliability or developer experience. By uniting crypto-economic security with a permissionless service marketplace, they set a new standard for how Web3 infrastructure should work.

Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)[DIN Highlight] Hemi Network - Unifying Bitcoin and Ethereum
This week, we spotlight Hemi Network, a modular Layer-2 that bridges the two largest blockchains by volume and capitalization with a decentralized infrastructure backbone.Origin StoryHemi was born from the idea that Bitcoin and Ethereum shouldn’t exist in isolated silos. In 2024, Bitcoin core veteran Jeff Garzik and security expert Max Sanchez set out to create a network that converges the strengths of both. Unveiled at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Hemi’s testnet quickly gained traction, proces...

Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)[DIN Highlight] Rivet
In this week’s Web3 Wednesday, we highlight Rivet, a core contributor to the DIN protocol and a long-standing force in open source blockchain infrastructure. From the beginning, Rivet has focused on a single, urgent mission: eliminating the centralization that continues to limit the potential of Web3. As a partner and co-designer of DIN, Rivet has been instrumental in helping shape a new model for reliable, decentralized RPC.Solving Web3’s Centralization BottleneckRivet was built to solve a f...
Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)Breaking the ‘RPC Trilemma” - Charting a New Path for Web3 Infra’s Dirty Little Secret
IntroductionWeb3 RPC & API infrastructure companies serve as the backbone of the Dapp industry, servicing data and write access to blockchains to the large majority of the industry. However, with the evolution and maturation of the industry, the business model supporting this backbone faces a challenge. Termed by DIN as the “RPC trilemma,” web3 RPC & API providers are confronted with the difficulty to simultaneously achieve three competing priorities:High Reliability: Consistent uptime, low l...
