What is EigenLayer?
EigenLayer is a protocol built on the Ethereum 
$2,482 blockchain that introduces a new system for economic security through the principle of “restaking.” This system allows for the reuse of ETH within the consensus layer, making the security layer more efficient, enabling users to reuse their ETH coins in various transactions.
With this listing, Binance aims to offer its users more investment and trading options. The option to trade new pairs using TRY can be viewed as a significant step for Turkish investors.
