EigenLayer to cough up around 28M more EIGEN after airdrop backlash

EigenLayer is handing out an extra 100 to 110 EIGEN to 280,000 qualifying wallet addresses after criticism over its first airdrop.

On Monday, EigenLayer announced it would allocate 15% of its total supply to the community, but some users deemed several provisions of its airdrop programto X, the Eigen Foundation said that it will now be airdropping additional EIGEN tokens to the wallets of users who interacted with the protocol before April 29 — meaning it will also include the initial airdrop claimants.

EigenLayer shared that it would look to include more of its testnet users that may have been omitted from the airdrop. EigenLayer said this control was put in place to ensure that key features including payments and slashing parameters were “well established” before EIGEN became transferable among users.
