Eigenlayer has launched a major upgrade that allows decentralized services to operate on layer-2 networks while still tapping into Ethereum’s security.
This new multichain verification system was deployed on Base Sepolia testnet and is expected to expand to other chains, with a mainnet rollout planned for Q3 2025.
Founder Sreeram Kannan called the update a key moment in Eigenlayer’s mission to scale decentralized infrastructure.
He noted that services no longer have to choose between Ethereum-level security and layer-2 performance. Through this system, validator data—including stake, slashing records, and operator configs—syncs seamlessly across chains.
The upgrade is part of a growing trend in the blockchain space. Build on Bitcoin recently implemented ZK fraud proofs to boost its L2Beat decentralization rating, while Ethereum Foundation has outlined plans to integrate zkEVM proofs into mainnet by mid-2026.
