Blockchain Engineer @eigen_da

[Erick @ericktrify]

Just joined @eigenlabs as their Social Media Lead

By week four I was in a war room

We launched https://t.co/z88Hgd2sJx, an open challenge where autoresearchers beat Google’s secret quantum circuit. In public with just 72 hours!

Justin Drake, one of the top Ethereum researchers, posted about it and hit nearly 3M organic impressions

AND NOW, the community is still pushing the benchmark further

I’ve never seen a launch move this fast. Millions of eyes in days & the energy was truly unreal

What excites me most is the mission -- Eigen Labs is not building another closed lab.

INSTEAD, we're building open agentic networks so any researcher, not just the big labs, can push the frontier of science

We just did it with Bitcoin.

YET Biology, neuroscience, and genomics are next

Let's do it, together. 💪🏽🫶🏽

[L2BEAT 💗 @l2beat]

Celo is back in the Validiums & Optimiums tab! 🔄

With the Jello hardfork, @Celo introduced a new network upgrade that brought OP @SuccinctLabs Lite with ZK proofs to Celo mainnet, together with the @eigen_da V2 bridge DACert verifier.

Let’s break down what actually changed ⬇️

[iquidus @iquidus]

@nic_carter If we attempt to be proactive, there will be competing solutions. If we instead pretend there is no problem, when there is, we can rush through our solution (plus some other crap most likely) and achieve savior status.

[MegaETH @megaeth]

The Frontier is Open

MegaETH mainnet has been live for weeks to infra teams like @LayerZero_Core, @eigen_da, @chainlink, @redstone_defi, @Alchemy and @safe.

Today is day 1 for builders.

Apps will deploy and test while users track progress through explorers and dashboards.

[Altius @AltiusLabs]

Big milestones like this don’t happen without serious execution behind the scenes.

Congrats to @eigen_da who just demonstrated 1 GB/s sustained throughput across 100 operators and 10 countries.

At Altius, we executed and validated high-throughput benchmarking as part of this effort - including sustained 30+ MB/s execution runs under real-world conditions.

This is what modern blockchain infrastructure looks like: measured, stress-tested, and built to scale.

Executed by @AltiusLabs

[EigenCloud @eigencloud]

Today @eigen_da reaches cloud scale at 1GB/s.

Benchmarked across 100 operators and 10 countries.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

The Jello Hardfork 🪼🍮 is live on @Celo and it feels amazing to finally share this. As of today, Celo now supports zk fault proofs using OP Succinct Lite and EigenDA’s Hokulea

We have been grinding on this upgrade for almost a year and short of the L1 → L2 transition, it has been one of the hardest engineering efforts we have ever shipped. A ton of work went into prover integration, batching, client changes, performance tuning, and testing every weird edge case we could find

Huge shoutout to the @SuccinctLabs and @Eigen_DA teams. We spent months building together, fixing issues together, redesigning things together, and tackling problems that literally had no handbook. Could not have shipped Jello without them

With Jello, anyone can now zk-prove Celo transactions. This massively improves the security of the native bridge and brings us in line with the kind of guarantees @L2BEAT expects at this time from a secure optimium style L2. Safer withdrawals, better validation, and fewer trust assumptions. This is a big deal

And of course, zk-proving also paves the way for faster and more secure interop with the rest of Ethereum. Jello sets the stage for a stronger and more trust-minimized future for Celo

Come build with us

[EigenDA @eigen_da]

EigenDA's Hokulea library has been audited by @VeridiseInc, specialists in formal verification and ZK security.

Hokulea enables trustless EigenDA derivation for OP Stack rollups, supporting integrations for leading zkVM fraud proof frameworks 🧵

[EigenDA @eigen_da]

"Framework for AltDA Secure Integration on Ethereum" - @eigen_da team

AltDA integrations expand Ethereum's design space, but most design and implementations are under-specified for L2 security.

This is the first formalization of what secure integration requires: a foundation for trustless systems. This formalizes the same principles applied in @l2beat's framework.

[EigenDA @eigen_da]

Bringing crypto to the cloud era means GB/s throughput. No general-purpose database could get us there.

So we built our own: LittDB.

[Kydo @0xkydo]

Funny story time.

About eight months ago, when I started working more closely with the EigenDA team, I walked around doing vibe checks on our engineering with our partners. Many people did not have a view on the protocol itself, but they were very sure of one thing: our integration was “sub-optimal.” The main complaint was always the same. Too complicated. Everyone else is “so clean.” EigenDA is the messy one.

I took it personally. I assumed it meant we weren't doing a good job on the integration side. I promised we would do better. Then I went back and really dug in.

After going deep on the DA integration path, I was so surprised to realize that the issue was not that our integration team was bad. It was exactly the opposite. They were so good. They were so good that they solved the problems that others didn't know existed.

The extra “complexity” was us wiring in real guarantees where others were cutting corners.

The gap was marketing and product. People did not understand what was happening or why we were doing what we were.

We were ahead of the market, if you will.

So I started going around explaining it. But they didn't care much because it is just DA and they had other priorities. Fair.

But more recently we walked L2Beat through our view of rollup infra and integration. They dug in, built their own grading framework, and ended up converging on many of the same principles. Now they are baking a lot of that thinking into how they will evaluate L2s going forward.

Funny how fast things can change.

Agents that think, act, and prove what they do - that’s the future. EigenCloud is making it real with EigenAI + EigenCompute. Pumped to be along for the ride!

[EigenCloud @eigencloud]

AI’s trust problem ends today.

We're thrilled to launch two new services, EigenCompute and EigenAI on EigenCloud. A new foundation for building truly verifiable apps and agents.

One of the biggest upgrades to AI since the launch of GPTs.
