Reasons for EigenLayer TVL Surpassing $10B

EigenLayer, particularly in the restaking space, has emerged as one of the most prominent trends since the beginning of this year. Simply put, this protocol allows users to utilize ETH and Ethereum’s liquid staking tokens to participate in verifying other blockchains, essentially restaking these tokens.

Currently, EigenLayer supports tokens such as stETH from Lido, rETH from RocketPool, cbETH from Coinbase, sETH from Stakewise, mETH from Mantle, sfrxETH from Frax, ankrETH from Ankr, and wBETH from Binance.

The popularity of EigenLayer has also led to the emergence of projects orbiting around it, such as ether.fi, Kelp DAO, and Puffer Finance. Recently, Kelp DAO even airdropped tokens to EigenLayer users based on reward points earned through activities on the protocol.

When asked about the possibility of token issuance by Bloomberg, EigenLayer leaders stated that they are still considering this possibility.
