We took a break to prepare for the launch of the Understanding EigenLayer guide and migrating fully on to Paragraph.
Here’s everything that has happened since June 25th.
TVL watch: $15.8b

EigenLayer maintains a total value locked (TVL) of $15.8b according to
The restaked interoperability AVS is on EigenLayer mainnet!
The AVS powers a fast and affordable cross-rollup interoperability (and modular) solution. Hyperlane is working to reduce fragmentation and allow for fast operations with Ethereum’s security. With Hyperlane, developers can build Interchain Applications that abstract complex interchain interactions and serve users.
Since launching in late June, the AVS gained the support of 85 operators and 72,889 stakers. It is currently deployed on more than 35 EVM, Cosmos, and Sealevel chains and has announced connections to Sei Network, BOB and Taiko.
GM Network launches an AVS powered by AltLayer specially designed to bring fast finality and enhance trading efficiency.

Opacity is the first zkTLS notary network. It uses an economically secured MPC network to allow users to generate ZK proofs of their data on existing Web2 platforms for onchain use.
“With zkTLS it is possible to bring data streams that are under the encrypted internet (https connections) to a blockchain without losing privacy (prove only the relevant attributes).” – Read about Sreeram's thoughts on Opacity
The Eigen Foundation allocated its first strategic grant to cLabs. The grant will be used to support leveraging EigenDA in Celo Layer 2, which will help avoid the high costs associated with native Ethereum storage.
The Obol Collective is a community initiative to enhance Ethereum's security, resilience, and decentralization by developing distributed validators, addressing previous infrastructure issues and supporting diverse projects.
Other participants include 50+ staking protocols, client teams, software tools, professional node operators, home operators, and stakers.
GM Network is the first consumer AIoT network, blending AI with the concept of Internet of Things. It aims to facilitate the creation of devices and apps that integrate AI through a modular ecosystem.
To do this, it creates a modular network with 3 primary layers:
the asset layer,
the data layer,
and the user layer.
The asset layer consists of the GM Network MACH AVS, a Layer 2 network that allows for consumer DePIN products to deploy their own DApps or develop their own vertical Layer3 based on GM. AltLayer's MACH restaked rollups provide fast finality with shared security guarantee and faster interoperability while EigenLayer allows for the network to be secured by restaked ETH.
Since its launch the AVS gained the support of 32 operators, 58,434 stakers and a total of 170,000+ restaked ETH.
The Shared Security Hackathon was a 72-hour in-person event during ETHCC, July 6th-8th. It produced 8 AVS products.
