## EigenLayer

By collaborating with EigenLayer, our staking protocol gains access to a powerful restaking collective embedded in the Ethereum network. EigenLayer ' s smart contracts enable ETH stakers to opt in and participate in the validation of diverse software modules built on Ethereum. This includes consensus protocols, data availability layers, virtual machines, keeper networks, oracle networks, bridges, threshold cryptography schemes, and trusted execution environments.
