Dankrad Feist, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, posted on the X platform that he and Justin Drake recently decided to become consultants for EigenLayer, with the same conditions, and joined in a personal capacity, not representing the Ethereum Foundation, focusing on risk and decentralization. Feist said that he did receive a large number of tokens from EigenLayer, but did not think that this would change or affect his position on how the core protocol is developed. He believes that if Eigenlayer is completed by people with high integrity, it will bring significant benefits to Ethereum. He believes that the current leaders intend to do this, and Feist plans to help them take responsibility for it. If he believes that this is no longer the case, he will not hesitate to speak publicly and/or resign. Earlier, Justin Drake, a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, posted on the X platform that he recently became a consultant to the Eigen Foundation and promised to inject the proceeds into the Ethereum ecosystem.
