EigenLayer is a “restaking” protocol developed on the Ethereum network. This protocol allows users to contribute to the security of different projects by re-staking ETH or liquid staking tokens (such as stETH, rETH) that they have staked on Ethereum. In this way, existing staked assets can be utilized across multiple platforms, generating additional revenue. EIGEN Coin, the native token of EigenLayer, plays an important role in the platform's ecosystem. EIGEN holders have a say in the governance of the platform, can participate in voting and contribute to the development of the network. In addition, EIGEN Coin can be used in re-staking transactions, allowing users to earn additional rewards.
