How do we know who or what to trust online or onchain? We need a way to trust the data we're consuming from credible entities.  

EAS is a core building block to efficiently and easily start making signed statements about a piece of data. Traditionally, the ecosystem would build their own custom ways of making attestations but they weren't structured and often siloed beyond different APIs and teams.

EAS brings a credibly neutral standard that allows anyone - contracts, people, or even agents - to make statements (signed pieces of data) about anything so others can rely on it increasing the composability of signed data.
