EigenLayer, a leading Ethereum restaking protocol, has announced its upcoming token airdrop and the introduction of a new staking security system. The platform will distribute its native token, EIGEN, with a total supply of 1.67 billion, managed by the Eigen Foundation. The distribution plan includes various categories, with 15% allocated to stakedrops for rewarding users who lock up ETH on EigenLayer’s protocol.

Key Points:
– EigenLayer to airdrop EIGEN tokens in two phases
– Total supply of EIGEN set at 1.67 billion
– 15% allocation for stakedrops to reward stakers
– Season one snapshot taken on March 15, with 90% of airdrop claimable by May 10
– Season two to follow with the remaining 10% of stakedrop allocation

In addition to the token distribution, EigenLayer will introduce a 120-day window for season one claimants, during which the EIGEN token will be non-transferable to encourage community engagement in governance. The platform also plans to release EigenDA, a data availability solution, as a complementary layer to the restaking protocol.

Moreover, EigenLayer has set aside allocations for community initiatives, ecosystem developments, early contributors, and investors. Early contributors and investors will have a three-year vesting schedule, with 4% of holdings unlocking monthly over the last two years.

EigenLayer is also pioneering inter-subjective forking to enhance ETH restaking security by addressing subjective faults and simplifying validator activity. This innovative approach aims to improve the overall efficiency of restaking transactions.
