Empowering the EigenLayer Ecosystem
The EIGEN token plays a central role in EigenLayer's mission to enhance Ethereum's decentralized trust and improve capital efficiency.
By participating in the stakedrop, users become integral to the platform's vision of building "humanity's coordination engine."
Key benefits of engaging with EIGEN include:
Securing innovative services through intersubjective forking
Access to ongoing rewards through upcoming programmatic incentives
A voice in shaping the future of EigenLayer and its Actively Validated Services (AVSs)
Looking Ahead: Programmatic Incentives and Sustainable Growth
The Eigen Foundation is set to launch a programmatic incentives program, featuring weekly EIGEN emissions to drive long-term value for stakers and operators. This initiative will include:
Distribution of newly minted EIGEN tokens based on stake delegation
A fixed 10% allocation of emissions for operators
Future updates introducing AVS "reward boosts" and advanced ecosystem controls
