Eigenlayer Developer Quickstart

A curated page for getting started building in the Eigenlayer ecosystem

Building AVSs 🔨

There are 3 main ways you can build on EigenLayer.

1. Build your own AVS (Autonomous Verifiable Service)
2. Use an existing AVS
3. Use an AVS library or abstraction like Othentic, Layer, AltLayer, or Tangle.

To learn more about the 3 different ways you can build on EigenLayer, check out this video.
