Amid EigenLayer's controversy over its airdrop strategy and criticism as a VC scam that only wants to siphon liquidity, the Eigen Foundation announced a massive airdrop to over 280,000 users, with each wallet receiving a value of EIGEN tokens about 1,000 USD.
The Foundation revealed that first season recipients will receive a minimum of 110 EIGENv while season two recipients will receive 100 tokens or more.
EigenLayer, the project's infrastructure, has clarified that investor tokens will be transferable once token transfer capabilities go live, which is expected to begin after September 30. 2024, coinciding with the launch of new features on EigenLayer's mainnet.
EigenLayer Airdrop is controversial
The announcement of the long-awaited EigenLayer airdrop on Wednesday has generated both excitement and criticism. The plan is to allocate 45% of the 1.67 billion token supply at launch to the community, with 1/3 distributed via airdrops over multiple seasons, prioritizing rewards for staking participants.
Despite the anticipation surrounding the EigenLayer airdrop, concerns have arisen, especially regarding the token's lack of immediate transferability upon launch. EigenLayer addressed this issue by explaining that the non-transferable phase is intended to facilitate decentralization and community consensus on utility and governance.
Eigen Labs, credited as a pioneer in Ethereum staking, recently raised $100 million in funding from venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. The platform's innovation in staking, which allows users to simultaneously secure multiple different blockchains using staked ETH, has garnered widespread popularity, with nearly $15 billion locked on the platform.
