Prediction-market agents are about to change how information markets work. With EigenAI and EigenCompute, every inference, execution, and data resolution can now be verified on @eigenlayer, turning prediction markets from governance-heavy systems into real-time, autonomous trading venues. This unlocks entirely new application categories. Sovereign AI Agents With EigenAI and EigenCompute, any computation, from LLM inference to execution, can now be verified. Agents without verifiability collapse the trust model of automation. If you cannot verify how an agent reached its decision, you cannot trust it to operate autonomously on your behalf. With EigenCloud, an agent's alignment lives in three verifiable places: the policy contract that encodes what the agent is allowed to do, the container hash pinning the exact code and model weights, and the data attestations showing what the agent observed. Each has an onchain commitment and a slashing path. If an operator swaps the model or misreports inputs, the commitment mismatch is objective and slashable. If the policy is honored syntactically but violated semantically, intersubjective verification adjudicates with bEIGEN at stake. This creates a system where AI agents can operate autonomously with real accountability. Prediction Markets with Finality Standard prediction markets rely on governance or oracles to resolve outcomes. These introduce latency and attack surfaces, or can be too expensive to incentivize at-scale participation for resolution. In EigenCloud, outcome resolution can be anchored directly in verifiable compute. The result of a sporting event or election could be finalized through zkTLS proofs of data sources, secured by bonded EIGEN. This turns prediction markets into real-time trading venues where liquidity behaves more like derivatives or sports betting platforms. Markets can settle minutes after events conclude instead of waiting days for governance votes. These are just a few examples of what is possible. The Trust Dial: Choosing Your Security Model Rather than being locked into a single security model, EigenCloud offers a continuum of trust. Each mode represents a different point on the spectrum between latency, liveness, and security, effectively creating an API for risk. • Instant trust allows applications to act on results immediately with no verification overhead. • Optimistic trust assumes correctness unless challenged within a dispute window, using fraud proofs to catch errors. • Forkable trust leverages the EIGEN token's forkability for workloads with subjective outcomes like prediction markets or content moderation. • Eventual trust provides full cryptographic proofs for maximum security. This flexibility transforms EigenCloud from just faster infrastructure into an actual platform where developers dial in exactly the trust and speed tradeoff their application needs. Current State The Eigen Economy has nearly $20B in TVL, 2,000+ registered operators, and 40+ active AVSs with 150+ in development. EigenDA V2 delivers 100MB/s of throughput on mainnet, far surpassing existing competitors. Slashing went live on mainnet, and multi-chain verification has begun with the first integrations on Base. DevKit recently launched on testnet, providing CLI tooling that streamlines AVS development using the Hourglass task-based execution framework. Hourglass standardizes how developers define, distribute, execute, and verify compute tasks across decentralized operator networks. EigenCompute and EigenAI launched in Mainnet Alpha at Q3 2025. EigenCompute allows developers to run computationally intensive workloads off-chain with the same trust guarantees as smart contracts. EigenAI provides an OpenAI-compatible inference API that’s deterministic and verifiable. Developers package application logic into verifiable containers which are then run by EigenLayer operators, secured by staked capital, logged through EigenDA, and adjudicated through EigenVerify if challenged. EigenVerify is under active development, complementing EigenCompute and EigenAI as part of the broader verifiable compute stack. The Eigen Foundation recently proposed increasing programmatic incentives, with rewards to EIGEN stakers rising from 1% to 4% of total allocation to accelerate application development and incentivize innovation on EigenCloud. The Verifiable Economy EigenCloud doesn't need to displace AWS or Azure to capture massive value. It only needs to become the default platform for workloads where verifiability is the product. Because verifiability carries a trust premium, even a fraction of traditional cloud dollar-volume converts into disproportionately large economic value for EigenCloud. The public cloud didn't win by being cheaper than on-premise servers. It won by making a new class of applications possible. If EigenCloud succeeds, we won't just have faster blockchains. We'll have a trust layer for the entire internet.
