EigenLayer

EigenLayer is an innovative project designed to enhance the security and scalability of the Ethereum network by enabling the restaking of ETH across multiple protocols. This system allows staked ETH to be used as cryptoeconomic security for other protocols in exchange for fees and rewards, optimizing capital efficiency for validators and offering new possibilities for developers within the Ethereum ecosystem.

EigenLayer has raised $164 million in funding from investors like Polychain Capital and Coinbase Ventures. Even though it was just speculation initially, the team has confirmed the EIGEN token launch alongside the airdrop for restakers. The team is airdropping 5% of the EIGEN supply for this airdrop season.
