About EigenLayer
EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking. Users that stake ETH natively or with a liquid staking token (LST) can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH or LST and extend cryptoeconomic security to additional applications on the network to earn additional rewards. EIGEN is designed to complement ETH restaking by providing a mechanism to handle "intersubjective" faults - behaviors that cannot be objectively identified on-chain but still warrant penalties. Token holders can stake EIGEN to secure the EigenDA network and other Actively Validated Services (AVS) that choose to accept it as collateral. EIGEN also used to facilitate governance.

Investment risk
Baseline risk: All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some 'baseline' risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.
Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.
Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.
Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.
Defi tokens: Decentralised Finance (or 'DeFi') tokens (e.g. UNI, AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.
Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.
Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets. For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.
Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.
Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or 'oracles'. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.
Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

FAQ
EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking. Users that stake ETH natively or with a liquid staking token (LST) can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH or LST and extend cryptoeconomic security to additional applications on the network to earn additional rewards. EIGEN is designed to complement ETH restaking by providing a mechanism to handle "intersubjective" faults - behaviors that cannot be objectively identified on-chain but still warrant penalties. Token holders can stake EIGEN to support the EigenDA network and other Actively Validated Services (AVS) that choose to accept it as collateral. EIGEN also used to facilitate governance.
EIGEN is the native token of EigenLayer, a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking as a mechanism to enhance the security and scalability of blockchain ecosystems. EigenLayer allows Ethereum validators and stakers to “restake” their assets, extending security to additional networks and decentralized applications (dApps) without compromising the original staking commitments on Ethereum.
EIGEN is primarily used within EigenLayer for governance and incentives. Token holders participate in protocol governance, voting on proposals that shape EigenLayer’s development and security strategies. Validators and stakers who use EigenLayer to restake their assets are rewarded with EIGEN tokens, creating a multi-layered security model that benefits both Ethereum and interconnected networks.
EIGEN enables holders to engage in governance, allowing them to vote on key updates and security measures within EigenLayer. Stakers can also earn rewards by extending security through restaking, supporting other networks and protocols within the ecosystem. The token thus facilitates a cooperative security model while incentivizing long-term participation.
EigenLayer was developed to address scalability and security challenges in multi-chain environments by leveraging Ethereum’s existing validator network. The launch of EIGEN introduced a decentralized governance structure and incentivized restaking, aligning the interests of validators, developers, and token holders. EigenLayer continues to expand its influence by offering a flexible security layer for Ethereum and beyond.
