The cryptocurrency sector is witnessing significant developments in the EigenLayer ecosystem. Following last month's announcement, the native tokens are now available for demand, marking a crucial milestone. Users can stake and delegate tokens to EigenDA operators using the EigenLayer web portal, supporting the platform's growth.

With over $15 billion in ETH secured since 2023, EigenLayer has established itself as a robust platform for new Proof of Stake projects. By connecting to a broader trust network, EigenLayer enables projects to overcome security challenges and establish a strong foundation. The platform's token economy is designed to promote community growth, with 45% of the token supply reserved for the network's community and ecosystem.

The token supply is capped at 1.67 billion, with 15% allocated to stakers and 5% available in the first season. Community initiatives and ecosystem development will receive 15% each, while early investors and contributors will receive 29.5% and 25.5%, respectively. In response to initial criticisms, the Eigen Foundation distributed additional tokens to eligible users, ensuring a minimum allocation of 110 tokens per user, equivalent to $1,000 based on pre-market valuations.

As the EigenLayer ecosystem continues to evolve, users can expect new opportunities for growth and development. With the token economy in place, the platform is poised for significant expansion, supporting a range of protocols and projects.
