EigenCloud (EIGEN)
System: EigenCloud — Blockspace Production
EigenCloud is a verifiability and shared-security platform built on EigenLayer, letting AVSs and application developers secure and verify off-chain data, events, and computation by tapping into a pooled operator network backed by restaked collateral. Founded in 2021, it combines Ethereum smart contracts (restaking, delegation, rewards and slashing) with off-chain operator software, and can use restaked ETH and staked EIGEN to back AVS-specific penalties. The system boundary includes EigenLayer/EIGEN staking contracts, operators and delegators, and Eigen Labs/Eigen Foundation governance and primary interfaces; it excludes Ethereum L1 itself, independent third-party AVSs and downstream apps, and third-party bridges or wrapped representations of ETH/EIGEN.

Token Functionalities
Collateral
- Performance-Bond
Right to post EIGEN as stake backing AVS and operator commitments, functioning as a performance bond. Restaked or delegated stake is slashable, with slashed value either burned or redistributed, subject to current constraints on which assets are eligible for redistribution.
Service Provision
- Data Availability
Right to provide data availability services by making transaction data available under correctness guarantees for external execution domains (EigenDA).
System Attributes
Operating Model
EigenLayer’s core restaking coordination is implemented as an on-chain protocol that coordinates restakers, operators, AVSs, rewards, and slashing, while EigenCloud services are operated under EigenLabs terms, including EigenAI and EigenCompute.
Value Creation
Value is produced by on-chain restaking coordination (delegation, rewards/slashing logic) plus off-chain operator work/EigenLabs services (e.g., EigenAI/EigenCompute)
Value Capture
EigenLayer routes AVS-subtors/restakers on-chain, while EigenLabs captures subscription/usage fees for EigenCloud services off-chain (per service terms).
Governance
Eigen Labs, Inc. maintains authority over most of the off-chain product lines, the Protocol Council holds the sole power to execute approved changes to core contracts, whilst token holders exert their say through intersubjective governance.
