Overview

Eigen Labs launched EigenCloud on June 17, 2025, a platform extending EigenLayer's restaking security into a general "verifiability-as-a-service" offering that lets developers run computation off-chain while anchoring trust and payments on Ethereum. Alongside the launch, Andreessen Horowitz invested $70 million through a purchase of EIGEN tokens from its Crypto Fund IV, following the firm's $100 million Series B in Eigen Labs in February 2024. Eigen Labs positioned EigenCloud for use cases beyond DeFi, including AI and media, and cited Securitize using it to verify asset pricing data for BlackRock's BUIDL fund.
