Does a new project that doesn’t want to build a validator set from scratch get to borrow Ethereum’s security?
EigenLayer didn’t enable slashing on mainnet until 2025, so restaked assets couldn’t be slashed before then.
Here’s the key point: points earned through the campaign aren’t tokens. Whether they’re converted into tokens, and at what rate, is entirely up to the project.
$EIGEN is a token in the EigenLayer restaking protocol ecosystem.
If you’re unfamiliar with something, it’s best to steer clear. Start with a small amount to get some practice first.
