[Long Tweet] Interpreting the EigenCloud Architecture: Attempting to Achieve a Verifiable Combination of Cryptography and AI?

Chainfeeds Guide:

Eigen currently provides more user-friendly development infrastructure for AI agents developers, with development scenarios including AI+DeFi, AI+DAO, AI+DeSci, and AI+GAME.

Blue Fox Notes: First, let's take a look at the architecture of Eigen. The core of the EigenCloud architecture is that it allows developers to execute business logic (computation in any container) off-chain, while returning the results on-chain for verification. It supports various containers, languages, and hardware, which means it gives developers greater freedom and compatibility. Its tech stack includes the restaking protocol (underlying shared security), core primitives (EigenDA for data availability service, EigenVerify for verification and dispute resolution layer, EigenCompute for computation layer, etc.), and ecosystem services (ZK, Oracle, Inference, etc.). From this architecture, EigenCloud attempts to solve some of the problems that traditional dAPPs cannot run on-chain, such as AI Agents (because it is difficult to support complex hardware and programs). We have previously mentioned the viewpoint that AI and Crypto are a perfect match because they need each other. AI has trust issues and autonomy issues; AI needs to ensure verifiable and correct operation, and needs to have its own wallet, etc. These are what Crypto can provide. Crypto lacks enough killer applications; currently, Crypto applications are mainly DeFi and stablecoins, while other applications, including games and AI agents, have not developed, but AI will reconstruct almost all applications in the future. If AI can run on Crypto, then this will be the greatest hope for Crypto after DeFi and stablecoins. The architecture of EigenCloud enables the integration of AI Agents and Crypto to be feasible. For example, EigenCloud allows AI agents to be embedded into smart contracts, becoming autonomous and verifiable entities; AI agents can run on EigenCloud, with staking security support, EigenDA data availability support, EigenVerify verification support, EigenCompute computation support, etc. The results are put on-chain, and if there are errors, challenges can be made, and the verification protocol ensures the correctness of the results. In short, the Eigen ecosystem supports verification of the entire stack (computation, data, inference, tools, etc.), and supports the operation of AI agents (model + orchestrator + memory + goals + tool calls, etc.).
