Ethereum restaking protocol Eigenlayer has received criticism from unhappy airdrop farmers who claimed that several provisions of the protocol’s stakedrop program weren’t fair to early users.
Ethereum restaking protocol Eigenlayer has promised to allocate 15% of EIGEN supply to the community, but not everyone was happy about it.
Despite the protocol never officially confirming an airdrop until Monday, speculators seemed to be more than fine with adding their already-staked Ether (more than $15.7 billion to the protocol since its inception — hoping to receive an airdrop at some point in the future. The Eigen Foundation wrote that 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.
“Honestly the linear approach is f-cking stupid. Basically makes 1000-2000 Eigen stakers happy at the expense of 100k who will get peanuts,” Despite the outrage around the stakedrop, Henrik Andersson, the chief investment officer of the Australian crypto investment firm Apollo CapitalSpeaking to Cointelegraph, Andersson described Eigenlayer’s total 15% allocation to users as “generous,” and counted it among several “positive items” contained within the protocol’s stakedrop process.
