Opinions on the EIGEN Stakedrop have flooded Crypto Twitter after its recent launch. Some excited, some cautious, and all in all, the Eigen Foundation is continuing to benefit from large media coverage and engagements on Twitter.  The Eigen Foundation recently launched the EIGEN token and released a detailed outline for its stakedrop. However, after the […] source: https://www.cryptopolitan.com/eigen-foundation-on-eigen-stakedrop/

According to official news, the Eigen Foundation clarified several community issues (lock countdown, timeline, and testnet users) and shared plans to distribute additional EIGEN to the community. All users who interact with EigenLayer before April 29 will receive 100 more EIGEN. This additional airdrop will be reflected in the allocation applied after May 10. After a simple Sybil filter, all Season 1 users will receive at least 110 EIGEN (10 EIGEN floor plus 100 EIGEN). Season 2 users who started staking between March 15 and April 29 will also receive at least 100 EIGEN. Users who staked after April 29 were not included. The three clarifications are as follows: 1. Start the lock countdown after transferability: After EIGEN is transferable to the community, investors and the team are still in full lock-up for one year. After that, they will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month and fully unlocked within three years after becoming transferable. 2. Timeline: Earlier this week, we announced that EIGEN will be unlocked after the new features are launched and further decentralized. However, we did not announce a date for enabling transferability. To provide a clear timeline, these features will be released on the mainnet on September 30, 2024. The decentralized and permissionless features allow power to be transferred to the community, which will have the right to vote and decide whether to enable transferability. 3. Testnet user allocation is coming soon Some testnet users are excluded from the eligibility. The missed testnet user allocation will be updated as part of the second phase of Season 1. We will provide more details in the coming weeks.

The Eigen Foundation is an independent body focusing on growing the EigenLayer ecosystem and its native Eigen token. But what is this EigenLayer? Well, simply put, EigenLayer is an engine used to maximize open innovation. At the center of EigenLayer is a sophisticated re-staking that provides an added layer of security on other platforms besides […] source: https://www.cryptopolitan.com/eigen-layer-eigen-token/

According to the white paper released by Eigenlayer on GitHub, unlike common governance tokens, EIGEN is positioned as a universal and verifiable "work token". The so-called "work token" refers to those utility tokens that can be staked by participants to perform certain work (such as blockchain verification). If the participants violate the specific work commitment, the "work tokens" staked by them may be punished by slashing. In the context of EIGEN, EIGEN staking is intended to provide a functional supplement to ETH re-staking. It introduces a new mechanism to deal with subjective "errors", such as behaviors that cannot be identified on the chain but still need to be punished. In other words, Eigenlayer will support a complementary staking model between ETH and EIGEN. ETH staking is mainly used to solve objective consensus problems, and EIGEN staking is mainly used to solve subjective economic benefit-related problems. Through the staking of EIGEN, EigenLayer can ensure the maintenance of full-scale verification capabilities without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus, and is expected to unlock a series of active verification services (AVS) with strong economic security that were previously impossible to achieve, such as activating new innovations in oracles, DA, databases, AI, game virtual machines, intent and order matching, MEV engines, prediction markets, and many other aspects.
