AVS Basket

Definition ∞ An AVS Basket refers to a collection of Actively Validated Services that EigenLayer restakers can opt to secure. This grouping allows restakers to delegate their staked Ethereum to multiple services simultaneously. It represents a selection of modular security offerings that enhance the utility of staked assets. Participants select a basket to contribute to the security of various decentralized applications.
Context ∞ The concept of AVS Baskets is central to EigenLayer’s modular security design, enabling diverse applications to leverage Ethereum’s economic security. Current discussions involve the risk profiles associated with different basket compositions and the potential for economic penalties across multiple services. Future considerations include the expansion of available AVS offerings and mechanisms for dynamic basket adjustments based on market demand and security requirements.
