EigenLayer announced that its Rewards v2 protocol upgrade went live on the mainnet at 12:49 PM Pacific Standard Time on January 21. This upgrade is an important milestone in the EigenLayer ecosystem, aimed at bringing greater flexibility, efficiency, and customization to the rewards mechanism.
The Rewards v2 protocol upgrade introduces the following enhancements:
1. Operator-oriented rewards: Allows AVS (Automated Verification Service) to reward operators based on performance or custom logic.
2. Variable operator fees: Operators can set their own rates for each AVS, providing economic flexibility and attracting more participants.
3. Batch reward claiming: Stakers and operators can claim multiple rewards in a single transaction, reducing gas costs.
The introduction of these features makes EigenLayer's rewards mechanism more dynamic and flexible, better meeting the needs of different participants within the ecosystem.
