LayerZero Labs partners with Eigen Labs to develop CryptoEconomic DVN Framework
LayerZero Labs $ZRO and Eigen Labs have co-developed the CryptoEconomic DVN Framework, enabling DVNs to enhance security with cryptoeconomic guarantees. This framework allows projects to easily bootstrap a DVN on EigenLayer using any tokens, operators, and slashing rules.

With CryptoEconomic DVNs, applications gain guarantees via restaked assets and slashing conditions that backstop the trust previously placed in a DVN’s verification methodology.
