$EIGEN Token Announcement With Sreeram Kannan and Robert Drost
About this episode
Eigenlayer token details are here! Don’t call it an Airdrop - This is a Stakedrop — because that’s the only thing you can do with your EIGEN tokens out of the gate.
15% of the total Supply of Eigen distributed over multiple Seasons, Season 1 starts today with 5% of the supply, and one of the most sophisticated set of smart contracts on Mainnet. EIGEN is not your typical ERC20 token. It’s got this feature called “Intersubjective Forking” that increases the scope of what Eigenlayer can provide security for.
In addition to the token details getting released, we’re also getting the Eigen Foundation, with a new director Robert Drost - who joins Sreeram today to walk us through everything you need to know.
