Independent entity Nuffle Labs, which emerged from the NEAR Foundation, has announced its collaboration with Eigen Layer. The goal is to jointly develop a new protocol named Nuff Protocol. This protocol will enable validators to perform re-staking operations on any blockchain and settle the process through EigenLayer, thus facilitating EigenLayer's transition into a multi-chain platform. This partnership aims to enhance the interoperability and flexibility of blockchain ecosystems, providing developers and users with more diverse services and options.
