EigenLayer is back with a major announcement: EigenCloud. Sreeram Kannan and JT Rose unveil the first crypto-native cloud platform—a verifiable, programmable environment for building applications beyond the limits of traditional blockchains. We explore how EigenCloud packages modules like EigenDA, EigenVerify, and EigenCompute into a developer-friendly product that brings cloud-scale computation and crypto-grade trust guarantees together. From meme coins and AI agents to fully sovereign applications, we dig into what makes this launch a pivotal step for crypto infrastructure and why it might just reignite Ethereum’s original ambitions. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐CELO | BUILD TOGETHER AND PROSPER https://bankless.cc/Celo 🟠 BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:14 Introducing EigenCloud 12:39 Solving Programmability Bottlenecks 32:45 Apps EigenCloud Unlocks 54:00 Promoting EigenCloud 58:39 Total Addressable Market 1:02:53 Developer Action Items 1:06:19 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES EigenCloud Announcement https://x.com/eigenlayer/status/1934961135515828501 EigenCloud https://eigencloud.xyz/ Sreeram Kannan https://x.com/sreeramkannan JT Rose https://x.com/jt_rose ------ Not financial or tax advice.

0:08.2	your first time on Bankless. Welcome. Thank you for having me. And then Sri Ram, good to have you back.
