What’s happening here is bigger than just "AI agents onchain". Under the hood, ETH is acting as programmable gold — the neutral collateral securing not only rollups but now services like EigenAI and EigenCompute that are built on top of @eigenlayer. When validators restake ETH, they aren’t just securing Ethereum block production, they’re exporting Ethereum’s consensus to protect new systems. That’s why agents built here "can’t be tampered": they inherit the same economic guarantees as Ethereum itself. The other piece is governance at the edges. ETH covers what can be fully formalized onchain (consensus, proofs, state roots). But when you move into subjective domains — trusting data feeds, verifying AI outputs, settling edge cases — you need a different layer. That’s where EIGEN comes in: a coordination token for subjective truth, with slashing-by-forking as the enforcement mechanism. So EigenAI and EigenCompute aren’t just "apps". They’re the first examples of Ethereum’s modular stack applied to AI: ETH = security capital anchoring objectivity. EIGEN = governance capital for subjectivity. AVSs = the plug-in modules where innovation happens. This is what a modular internet looks like: every component can interoperate faithfully, so the best in class for each service can be bolted together into the optimal system. In that architecture, ETH stands out as the most trustless programmable asset in existence — neutral, secure, and composable — and so it naturally becomes the root of trust that anchors everything built on top.
