Meet EigenLayer (EIGEN) - Restaking for Enhanced Blockchain Security

What is EigenLayer (EIGEN)?

The EIGEN token is the native utility token of the EigenLayer protocol, which provides restaking solutions on the Ethereum blockchain. EigenLayer allows Ethereum holders to reuse their staked ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) across multiple decentralized services within the EigenLayer ecosystem. By opting into EigenLayer smart contracts, stakers can extend the security of their staked assets to support various applications and, in return, earn extra rewards.

The Purpose of EigenLayer

EigenLayer aims to solve the fragmentation risks that come with decentralized security. Traditionally, each new service on Ethereum had to build its own trust network, which fragmented security. With EigenLayer, services can tap into Ethereum’s collective staking power, improving security and reducing the capital requirements for individual stakers.
