Eigenlayer Developer Quickstart

A curated page for getting started building in the Eigenlayer ecosystem

Building AVSs 🔨

There are 3 main ways you can build on EigenLayer.

1. Build your own AVS (Autonomous Verifiable Service) directly on the EigenLayer protocol, leveraging one of the example AVSs below.
2. Use an existing AVS
3. Use an AVS partner like Othentic, WAVS
4. Use DevKit (currently in Alpha preview stage) to quickly prototype your AVS idea: https://github.com/Layr-Labs/devkit-cli?tab=readme-ov-file
