EigenLayer, a data availability service, is considering bringing its capabilities to AI agents to enable them to perform on-chain actions. The founder of EigenLayer believes that AI agents should become part of the Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVS) ecosystem. By joining the AVS network, AI agents can become verification entities and run computations in a permissionless manner, ensuring their sovereignty and protection against oracle attacks. EigenLayer may be repositioning itself as a platform for individual agents, potentially competing with other platforms in the market. The announcement of AI agents potentially joining EigenLayer led to an increase in the valuation of AI tokens. While the sector is still experimental, EigenLayer plays a crucial role in ensuring the solidity and correctness of AI decision-making. The launch of an AVS agent would also increase the demand for staked ETH, providing enhanced security even for tokenless agents.
