What is EigenLayer?
EigenLayer (EIGEN) is a protocol built on Ethereum that launched in 2024 and introduced the idea of restaking. Created by Sreeram Kannan and the EigenLabs team, it lets people who have already staked their Ethereum (ETH) reuse that stake to help secure other protocols and services beyond the Ethereum mainnet.
It works by letting validators and stakers opt in to support new services called Actively Validated Services, or AVSs, which can include data-availability layers, oracle networks, and bridges. The same staked capital can then help secure several networks at once, which is intended to make blockchain infrastructure more capital-efficient while keeping security in place.
The EIGEN token sits at the centre of this restaking ecosystem. Holders can engage with the various services that build on EigenLayer as part of Ethereum's wider set of protocols.

FAQ
Buying EigenLayer: FAQs
What is the least amount of EigenLayer I can buy?
You are not required to buy a whole token. Digital Surge lets you place a small EIGEN order, so even a modest amount of AUD is enough to make a start, and you can always add to your holding later rather than committing a large sum up front.
How soon after joining can I buy EigenLayer?
Often within a few minutes. Once your account is open and the quick identity check is done, a PayID deposit of AUD usually clears in under a minute, so you can buy EIGEN at the live price without much waiting around.
Is it easy to sell EigenLayer back to AUD?
Yes. You can sell your EIGEN back into Australian dollars on Digital Surge whenever you choose and withdraw the AUD to your linked bank account. There is no fixed holding term, so you decide how long to keep it before cashing out.
What is restaking on EigenLayer?
Restaking lets people who have staked Ethereum reuse that same stake to help secure other services beyond Ethereum itself. Through EigenLayer, one pool of staked capital can support several networks at once, which is designed to use that capital more efficiently across the ecosystem.
What are Actively Validated Services?
Actively Validated Services, or AVSs, are the additional protocols that EigenLayer's restaking can help secure. They include data-availability layers, oracle networks, bridges, and similar infrastructure that draws on the shared economic security the protocol helps coordinate across networks.
