The Eigen Foundation is excited to announce the upcoming Programmatic Incentives v1 release, a new EigenLayer protocol feature, providing programmatic EIGEN rewards to stakers and operators for their active participation in supporting AVSs. What Programmatic Incentives v1 will enable weekly programmatic rewards of newly-minted EIGEN tokens to qualifying stakers and

Eigen Labs is excited to introduce the EigenLayer Security Model, an evolution of our previous model, in preparation for the upcoming ‘Slashing’ protocol feature release. This blog post is a simple description of how EigenLayer empowers AVSs to operate more efficiently and create economically aligned incentives using three foundational concepts:

Eigen Labs is pleased to announce the EigenPod upgrade, a major update to the EigenLayer protocol, making native ETH restaking on EigenLayer easier and more rewarding. What The EigenPod upgrade introduces a novel balance checkpointing system for managing Ethereum validator and EigenPod balances. When All EigenPods on mainnet have been

CoinDesk published an article on airdrops in our ecosystem and Eigen Labs employee participation in those airdrops. We’ve written a community update on what happened, why it happened, and steps we’ve taken.  We want to make clear that we have no knowledge or evidence of any employee at

Eigen Labs is proud to introduce Permissionless Token Support, an upcoming update, to the EigenLayer protocol. This feature will enable any ERC-20 token to be permissionlessly added as a restakable asset, significantly broadening the scope of assets that can contribute to the security of decentralized networks, and unlocking the cryptoeconomic

Over the past few years, we at Eigen Labs have been developing a platform for advancing the concept of open, verifiable digital commons. This blog post summarizes the intersubjective forking protocol enabled by the EIGEN token. We will break down the significance of EIGEN, its core ideas, its high-level implementation,

We're excited to announce the culmination of our phased rollout with the removal of all Liquid Staking Token (LST) caps and unpausing deposits, effective April 16th, 2024, at 9:00 AM PST. This milestone marks the next chapter in EigenLayer's journey, fostering a wide-open and dynamic

In recent months, liquid restaking protocols and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) have seen tremendous growth, and are beginning to become systemically important in the EigenLayer ecosystem. There are many different flavors of LRT, each with different values, features, and offerings. All of these LRT projects are independent of the underlying

We're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our journey towards a secure and successful EigenLayer mainnet launch! Our primary focus remains a smooth launch that prioritizes both security and performance. To achieve this, we're introducing a multi-phased approach starting now and ongoing for the next

In preparation for the mainnet launch for Operators and EigenDA, there's an important update regarding the next cap raise.  Several staking parameters are set to be adjusted: * First, the introduction of three new LSTs to the EigenLayer restaking ecosystem: sfrxETH, mETH, and LsETH. * Second, removal of the 200k

We're excited to bring in 2024 by adding restaking support for three new Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs): Frax Ether (sfrxETH), Mantle Staked Ether (mETH), and Liquid Staked Ether (LsETH). In line with this, EigenLayer will reopen for restaking at the existing cap of 200k ETH for each LST.

We are excited to share that the six LSTs, garnering over 15k ETH in support during the LST election contest, will imminently join the EigenLayer protocol as restaking assets, accompanied by an increase in restaking caps for current LSTs.

In collaboration with JokeRace, we're excited to announce an upcoming contest, starting October 20, that will help select the next LST tokens to be listed as restaking assets on EigenLayer! EigenLayer's Vision: Our vision for EigenLayer is audacious - we envision a future where EigenLayer thrives

EigenLayer is proud to highlight twelve early projects building on top of EigenLayer’s infrastructure to deliver innovative use cases within the Ethereum ecosystem. These projects include actively validated services (AVSs) as well as users of AVSs, including users of EigenDA, the first AVS that will launch on EigenLayer later

On August 22 at 7am Pacific Time, EigenLayer will take another step forward in its evolution. Restaking opportunities will be expanded by raising the caps on Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs), including stETH, rETH, and cbETH. After the caps are lifted, users will be able to deposit any one of these

EigenLayer will expand restaking opportunities for users by increasing caps on Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). This upgrade enhances access to restaking while upholding asset safety and security. To modify the restaking limits, a protocol parameter change must undergo approval from the Multisignature Governance system. As of today, June 30, the

Overview of the Guarded Launch, Protocol Security, and Governance EigenLayer restaking has been deployed on Ethereum mainnet at the following contract addresses: * StrategyManager: 0x858646372CC42E1A627fcE94aa7A7033e7CF075A * EigenPodManager: 0x91E677b07F7AF907ec9a428aafA9fc14a0d3A338 To restake on mainnet, visit the EigenLayer app at: app.eigenlayer.xyz For this Stage 1 launch, the functionality aligns with what has been

Introduction: EigenLayer Mainnet is set to launch soon, following the successful completion of the Stage 1 Testnet for restaking functionality. EigenLayer aspires to make a positive impact on

What Stakers Need to Consider Before Restaking on EigenLayer The Shanghai/Capella (Shapella) upgrade brings significant changes to the Ethereum ecosystem, including enabling validator withdrawals. As EigenLayer is set to launch on mainnet soon, stakers should carefully assess their withdrawal strategy in order to maximize future opportunities for restaking and
