Skill is based on EigenLayer contracts (eigenlayer-contracts) as of 2026-02-24, generated from sources/eigenlayer/docs/.
EigenLayer enables restaking of LSTs, native ETH, and ERC-20s on Ethereum; stakers delegate to operators who run AVSs (Actively Validated Services). AVSs use operator sets and allocations for slashable stake and rewards; optional TaskMailbox and multichain support task-based execution and consumption of L1 stake on destination chains.
