Who Can Claim EIGEN Rewards in Season 1?
Direct EigenLayer Stakers: If you staked directly with EigenLayer, you're in!
LRT Stakers: Those who staked via Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs) are also eligible.
What About DeFi Interactions?
If you used EigenLayer-related DeFi platforms like Pendle or Equilibrium, you might still be eligible for rewards in Phase 2 of the Stakedrop.
Why Might I Be Ineligible?
There are a few reasons why you might not see an allocation:
Location Restrictions: Users in certain regions (like the US) may be restricted.
High-Risk Activity: Your wallet may be flagged due to association with high-risk or prohibited transactions.
Season 1: Two Phases
Phase 1: 90% of Season 1 EIGEN tokens will go to direct EigenLayer stakers and LRT stakers.
Phase 2: The remaining 10% is set aside for more complex interactions with EigenLayer. Details on Phase 2 allocations and claiming dates will be released a month after the EIGEN token is announced.
What Happens to Unclaimed EIGEN?
Any unclaimed tokens will be used for future stakedrops.
