Requires: npm install -g @layr-labs/ecloud-cli

Authentication

ecloud auth login
ecloud auth whoami

Deploy an app

ecloud compute app create --name my-app --language typescript
ecloud compute app deploy

Always use "Build and deploy from Dockerfile" — deploy from registry is unreliable.

Manage apps

ecloud compute app list
ecloud compute app info <APP_ID>
ecloud compute app logs <APP_ID>
ecloud compute app start <APP_ID>
ecloud compute app stop <APP_ID>
ecloud compute app terminate <APP_ID>
ecloud compute app upgrade <APP_ID>

Set sealed secrets

ecloud compute app env set MY_SECRET="value" API_KEY="key"

Inside the TEE, the KMS signing key is at /usr/local/bin/kms-signing-public-key.pem. Verify at https://verify-sepolia.eigencloud.xyz.

9. EigenDA (Data Availability)

Use when the user asks about storing/retrieving data on EigenDA, blob storage, or data availability.

Requires: EigenDA Proxy running locally:

docker run -d --name eigenda-proxy -p 3100:3100 \
  ghcr.io/layr-labs/eigenda-proxy:latest \
  --eigenda.disperser-rpc=disperser-sepolia.eigenda.xyz:443 \
  --eigenda.service-manager-addr=0xD4A7E1Bd8015057293f0D0A557088c286942e84b \

  --eigenda.status-query-timeout=45s \
  --eigenda.signer-private-key-hex=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY \
  --memstore.enabled=false --eigenda.disable-tls=false

Store a blob

curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3100/put?commitment_mode=standard" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"key": "value"}'

Retrieve a blob

curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:3100/get/COMMITMENT_HASH?commitment_mode=standard"

Health check

curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:3100/health"

View blob on explorer

https://blobs-sepolia.eigenda.xyz/blobs/COMMITMENT_HASH

Query Parameters Reference

Response Formatting

When presenting results to users:

• Bold names and abbreviate addresses (0x1234...abcd)
• TVL in human-readable form ("$1.2B" not "1200000000")
• APY as percentages ("4.2% APY")
• Show staker counts and operator counts
• Use bullet points, not tables
• Flag high APY + low TVL as potentially risky
