EigenLayer (eigenlayer.xyz): AI Search Readiness

Sector: Crypto & Web3 · Category: Restaking & Verifiable Cloud · Cohort Rank: #38 of 40 · Score: 30/100 (Grade F)

EigenLayer (eigenlayer.xyz) scores 30/100 (Grade F), ranking #38 of 40 unblocked developer platforms audited on 2026-11-14 UTC (-33.1 pts vs the 63.1/100 cohort mean). From Cloudflare’s edge, https://eigenlayer.xyz/ responded in 900ms TTFB with 1 KB HTML across 0 <script> tags, exposes 2 Schema.org JSON-LD types (Organization, Product), and permits all 29/29 tracked AI crawlers (0 via explicit User-agent rules, 29 via User-agent: *). At the discovery layer, eigenlayer.xyz currently serves zero dedicated plain-text Markdown/MCP discovery endpoints beyond standard HTML/robots, and returns non-200 on /llms.txt (HTTP 404), /llms-full.txt (HTTP 404), /pricing.md (HTTP 404), /.well-known/mcp.json (HTTP 404).

Scope & limits: Technical readiness assessment from Cloudflare edge probes on 2026-11-14 UTC; independent audit not affiliated with EigenLayer. Technical readiness does not guarantee AI citations or sales.

3. Missing-Artifact Diffs & Remediation

/llms.txt (currently HTTP 404): Add concise Markdown index (~1–3 KB) linking canonical docs, API reference, and pricing so ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Claude resolve URLs without guessing.
/llms-full.txt (currently HTTP 404): Publish consolidated plain-text product & architecture corpus so RAG pipelines bypass 1 KB HTML / 0 script tags.
/pricing.md (currently HTTP 404): Expose deterministic plain-text USD tier table, quotas, and enterprise terms so answer engines cite verified pricing.
/.well-known/ai.txt (currently HTTP 404): Publish machine discovery pointer indexing /llms.txt, /ai/summary.json, and agent tool manifests.
/.well-known/mcp.json (currently HTTP 404): Expose Model Context Protocol discovery card so Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP registries discover official tools.
/.well-known/agent-card.json (currently HTTP 404): Add A2A v0.2.5 Agent Card declaring capability skills, authentication mode, and rate limits.
/.well-known/openapi.json (currently HTTP 404): Serve OpenAPI 3.1 JSON contract for deterministic function-calling and WebMCP execution.
/ai/summary.json (currently HTTP 404): Serve structured JSON entity profile, product category, and canonical support endpoints.
/robots.txt (wildcard-only AI policy): Declare explicit Allow: / blocks for all 29 AI search and agent user-agents to prevent CDN/WAF ambiguity.
