$EIGEN

EigenLayer (EIGEN) is shaking up Ethereum's security by introducing "restaking." Imagine using your already staked ETH to secure *other* decentralized applications, earning additional rewards without locking up more capital. This ingenious mechanism allows new projects to leverage Ethereum's robust security, avoiding the need to bootstrap their own costly validator networks. EIGEN, the native token, plays a crucial role in this ecosystem, enabling intersubjective staking and ensuring accountability. It's a game-changer for capital efficiency and a key piece in expanding Ethereum's cryptoeconomic security across a broader ecosystem.
