Data availability is one of those infrastructure problems that nobody talks about until something goes wrong.
The short version is this. A blockchain needs to guarantee that the data behind every transaction is actually accessible, not just that the transaction happened.
Without that guarantee, fraud proofs break down and the security model falls apart quietly while everything looks fine on the surface.
OpenLedger uses EigenDA for this layer. EigenDA is EigenLayer's data availability solution, built on restaked Ethereum security. It handles the job of making sure OpenLedger's transaction data remains accessible and verifiable without pushing that cost onto Ethereum mainnet directly.
It's unsexy infrastructure doing essential work.
My question isn't whether EigenDA is capable. It is. My question is what happens to OpenLedger if EigenLayer's restaking model hits turbulence.
That dependency deserves more attention than it gets.
