AVSs

This is by no means an exhaustive list or an endorsement. It's a set of projects across different categories (oracles, interop networks, data availability, etc) that demonstrate different use cases for restaking and highlight various design choices that developers have made in their AVS development.

• Aligned Layer
  • A universal verification layer
  • Whitepaper
• AltLayer
  • Restaked rollups
  • Mach (Fast Finality Layer) Repo
    • Operator onboarding doc
    • Operator intake link
• Automata Multi-Prover
  • Decentralized systems bootstrap a secondary TEE Prover to minimize network-breaking bugs and achieve better security and decentralization. This rigorous approach is augmented by the introduction of TEE Committees, with the Multi-Prover AVS dually bound by machine trust and cryptoeconomic security.
  • Docs
  • Repo
  • Operator onboarding doc
  • Operator intake link
• Brevis
  • A smart ZK coprocessor that empowers smart contracts to read from and utilize the full historical on-chain data from any chain, and run customizable computations to power use cases such as data-driven DeFi, zkBridge, ZK identity and more.
  • coprocessor repo
  • Operator intake link
• Code4Arena
• CosmoAVS
• Eigen Bridge
• EigenDA
  • A data availability store made by Eigen Labs and built on top of EigenLayer
• Eigen Market Maker
• EigenRPC
• Eoracle
  • A programmable data Oracle that extends Ethereum Proof of Stake to connect smart contracts with real-world data.
  • Docs
  • Repo
  • Operator intake link
• Ethos
  • A security coordination layer that enables Cosmos chains to easily bootstrap a validator network, leveraging the economic security of restaked ETH.
  • Docs
• Gasp
  • Native to native cross-rollup swaps
  • Repo
• Keeper Network
• Lagrange
  • Cross-chain state committees provide a more secure alternative to isolated k of n bridges for applications that require trustless cross-chain states.
