• TL;DR
In blockchains, data gets bundled into blocks. Each block includes:
A header (basic summary info), and
The transaction data (the actual actions people took: transfers, smart contract calls, etc.).
Data Availability (DA) means: the full data for each block is shared with the network, so anyone can download and verify that it's valid.
If the data isn’t available, no one can be sure what's in the block and that's dangerous
•WHY IS DA IMPORTANT?
1) Blockchain security relies on “Don't trust , Verify.”
To verify, you need the actual data.
2) Without data availability, bad actors could hide shady transactions inside blocks.
3) It’s especially critical for Layer 2s like rollups (Optimism, Arbitrum) that bundle transactions and post summaries to Ethereum, they need DA so everyone can double-check their summaries
_
As blockchains scale and handle more transactions, storing and sharing all that data becomes:
• Expensive (on networks like Ethereum)
• Slow (because full nodes have to download everything), and
• Unsustainable (for everyday users or apps).
•THIS IS WHERE CALDERA COMES IN:
Caldera builds custom, high-performance blockchains called "rollups" and gives developers flexible options for data availability. Here's how Caldera makes DA better:
1) Modular DA Choice:
Caldera lets projects choose from multiple DA backends like:
Ethereum calldata (very secure, but expensive),
Celestia, EigenDA, or others (cheap and scalable),
More options coming as the ecosystem grows.
This modular approach means developers aren’t locked into one trade-off, they can pick the DA option that best fits their needs
2) Plug-and-Play Setup:
Caldera streamlines launching a rollup, it’s like spinning up a Shopify store but for blockchains. With their tools, teams can:
Launch a new rollup in minutes,
Plug in a preferred DA layer,
Focus on building their app, not wrestling with blockchain plumbing.
3) Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure:
Caldera’s rollups are production-ready from Day 1, with:
Fast transaction finality,
Secure integration with chosen DA layers,
Monitoring, performance tools, and scaling built-in.
___
In Essence, Caldera Helps:
Apps scale securely without relying on just one blockchain,
Developers choose the best data solution for their use case,
Users enjoy faster, cheaper, more reliable experiences without compromising trust.
If you got your this points 😩, then you are really a caldera believooorr & your lambo is coming

i agree that there will be L2 hyperliquids. i've actually tweeted out: i think this is a big opportunity to build the zkhyperliquid
i just don't think you can build it on ethereum. i think it's like literally mathematically impossible. if you look at any of the numbers ethereum is many orders of magnitude away from being able to support it on DA
i think that people are going to build this and it's going to be on top of celestia, it's going to be on top of eigenda... you just can't build it on top of ethereum
ethereum DA is, for anyone who looks at the numbers, just so far away right now.
just to give a sense on some of the numbers, the big endgame danksharding number that people have usually given for ethereum is like 128 blobs, 1.33 MB/s.
that's where celestia is today
that is also about 40x, or no maybe it's like 20x, where ethereum is today
let's assume they get there. okay, great. that's where these other chains are today, or already surpassing that. and like where are these other chains going to be by that point
you look at the last testnet for celestia, it's something like 20 MB/s. celestia, eigenDA, they're all going for GB/s
so these high scale things, they're just not going to be on ethereum DA
like we're already seeing that, we're seeing where the new chains go. where do the @convergeonchain's of the world, that ethena securitized chain, they go to celestia...
i do not think that mathematically ethereum can win this market anymore. at least at scale, it's not going to be the dominant player in the long term because it literally can't on scale

LIVE NOW - How Should ETH Be Valued? | Ryan Berckmans vs. Jon Charbonneau
@jon_charb and @ryanberckmans join Bankless to debate Ethereum’s future: is ETH undervalued, or has the market already spoken?
We unpack whether Ethereum can rival Bitcoin as a store of value, if L2s will drive real value back to ETH, and whether Solana’s momentum signals deeper trouble for Ethereum. Jon argues ETH has lost its lead and may never reclaim it. Ryan contends Ethereum’s neutrality and institutional traction make it the inevitable hub for the onchain economy.
This is the definitive conversation on where ETH stands—and where it’s heading.

EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.
The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.
How does EIGEN work?
Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.
EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.
Price and tokenomics
Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.
Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.
All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.
About the founders
EigenLayer was founded in 2021 by Sreeram Kannan, a former professor at the University of Washington. Kannan remains as the project's CEO today. EigenLayer is developed by Eigen Labs, a research organization "focused on contributing to protocols that supercharge open innovation on Ethereum", according to the company's official X account.

Eigen FAQ
What is the total supply of EIGEN?
EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
Is it safe to trade EIGEN?
Although EIGEN is the native token of a legitimate crypto project in EigenLayer, there’s always an element of risk when trading any form of crypto asset. That's why it's important to do your own research and never trade with more than you can afford to lose.
What problem does EigenLayer solve?
EigenLayer helps to extend the security benefits of the Ethereum network to more projects in a cost-effective way, through restaking. Those who stake ETH can use EigenLayer smart contracts that extend cryptoeconomic security to other applications built on the network.
How can I get hold of the EIGEN token?
EIGEN tokens were initially available to users of the EigenLayer protocol who claimed their share of the tokens’ total supply. The tokens weren’t transferable once claimed, meaning any EIGEN held couldn't be brought or sold. You can obtain EIGEN once the token is listed for spot trading on exchanges.
How much is 1 Eigen worth today?
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.5285. For answers and insight into Eigen's price action, you're in the right place. Explore the latest Eigen charts and trade responsibly with OKX.
What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies, such as Eigen, are digital assets that operate on a public ledger called blockchains. Learn more about coins and tokens offered on OKX and their different attributes, which includes live prices and real-time charts.
When was cryptocurrency invented?
Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, interest in decentralized finance boomed. Bitcoin offered a novel solution by being a secure digital asset on a decentralized network. Since then, many other tokens such as Eigen have been created as well.
