WEBEigenLayer's restaking mechanism leverages two fundamental ideas to overcome these challenges, namely pooled security and free-market governance. Collectively, these enable Ethereum's base layer security to be extended to essentially any protocol built on top of it, irrespective of its composition (e.g. EVM-compatibility). A EigenLayer restaking. EigenDA utilizes the restaking mechanism of EigenLayer, which is built on top of Ethereum. Restaking involves stakers delegating their stake to node operators within the EigenLayer ecosystem, enhancing the security and decentralization of the network. This mechanism underpins the consensus and security
