Eigen Foundation announces the Stakedrop event for the second season of EIGEN! As the EIGEN tokens are about to be unlocked, this stakedrop aims to recognize and reward outstanding contributors and participants who have supported us.
In this season, EIGEN tokens will be distributed to the following three main categories:
Stakers and Operators: Users who actively participate in staking in the second season
Ecosystem Partners: Including AVSs, LRTs, Rollups, RaaS providers, and other important contributors to the EigenLayer ecosystem
Community Members: Early supporters, contributors, and projects that play a key supporting role in EigenLayer
Important information for LRT users: The reward amount for LRT protocol is completely consistent with all participants who support EigenLayer through staking and other means. LRTs will directly receive their corresponding stakedrop allocation, and each LRT protocol will decide how to distribute the received EIGENs to their community. Please contact your LRT protocol for the latest claiming information.
Allocation Details
- ### Stakers and Operators
Total EIGEN allocated for stakers and operators in the second season: approximately 70 million EIGEN (about 4.2% of FDV).
Eligible Participants: Users who actively participate in staking and node operation in the second season.
Start Claim Date: On or before September 17, 2024.
Details: Direct stakers can claim their tokens through our claiming portal website claims.eigenfoundation.org. LRT users will claim rewards through their respective LRT projects.
Snapshot Date: August 15, 2024, 22:26:59 UTC
Stakedrop allocation is calculated based on the proportion of ETH hours for stakers and is completely linear. To prevent Sybil attacks, we have not set any baseline, as mentioned in our previous blog post.
For your convenience, a contributor has created a website to help you calculate retrospective re-staking rewards: s2calculator.eigenfoundation.org
- ### Ecosystem Partners
Total EIGEN allocated for ecosystem partners in the second season: up to 10 million EIGEN (about 0.6% of FDV).
Eligible Participants: Including AVSs, LRTs, Rollups, RaaS, and other participants who have made significant contributions to the EigenLayer ecosystem.
Start Claim Date: On or before September 17, 2024.
Details: Eligible partners can claim their tokens through the claiming portal website claims.eigenfoundation.org.
To recognize the contributions of ecosystem partners, eligible participants in this category will receive equal rewards. Each partner is considered equally important, and their efforts are crucial to our mission. This stakedrop is our recognition of their collective impact and commitment to building a stronger ecosystem. To promote an open culture, ecosystem partners will be publicly disclosed.
- ### Community
Total EIGEN allocated for the community in the second season: approximately 6 million EIGEN (about 0.35% of FDV).

Social verification ensures that only genuine participants can claim EIGEN, thereby ensuring fair distribution of tokens to those who have actively supported.
Snapshot Date: April 1, 2024, or August 15, 2024 (depending on the specific category).
Community Activity: Before 11:59 PM on September 11, 2024, Pacific Standard Time, link your wallet address with your social account through verify.eigenfoundation.org and then proceed with claiming. Due to potential rate limits from Twitter, if you are unable to verify immediately, please be patient.
We are delighted to reward those who have made significant contributions to supporting EigenLayer from the very beginning. Whether you have participated in hackathons, written blogs, actively engaged on Twitter and Discord, or as an open-source developer, your efforts are crucial to our growth.
Additionally, we will allocate EIGEN tokens to the Protocol Guild to support their important work in Ethereum L1 and ecosystem development. More details will be announced soon.
These rewards reflect our commitment to building a strong, innovative, and continuously evolving EigenLayer community.
Note: Approximately 3% of the total supply (15%) of tokens will be allocated to the community through subsequent projects, as mentioned here.
How EIGEN Supports the Mission of EigenLayer
EigenLayer lays the foundation for an open and verifiable internet by enhancing the decentralized trust of Ethereum, improving capital efficiency, and enhancing the security of the crypto economy.
EIGEN tokens play a crucial role in this mission, enabling on-chain execution of off-chain verifiable commitments and extending these commitments to all blockchain and crypto projects. With the support of diverse stakers, operators, and ecosystem partners, EIGEN drives the rapid launch and development of open innovation.
Together with Ethereum and other core crypto protocols, EigenLayer firmly believes that through the collective efforts of the community, we can create a more prosperous future.
"I believe that Web3 and encryption technology are both building self-executing coordination mechanisms that do not rely on authority, committees, or majority decisions to enforce their execution. Because they are self-executing, you can make trustworthy commitments. We know this is a long journey, but we have a clear goal: our vision is to build a human coordination engine, and we are delighted that you can walk with us on this path." —— @sreeramkannan
With EIGEN, you become an integral part of this vision, supporting the consensus of honest observers to maintain the integrity of these services.
Why Participate in EIGEN?
Staking EIGEN puts you at the forefront of protecting innovative services, ensuring the integrity of even the most complex on-chain activities through the subjective forking mechanism.
With the introduction of new incentive measures, the rewards provided by EIGEN will continue to increase, bringing sustainable long-term returns to active participants.
Holding EIGEN not only gives you a voice and stake in shaping the future of EigenLayer and its Active Verification Services (AVS), but also enhances your influence in the ecosystem as more protocols and applications join.
By participating in EIGEN, you will integrate into an active network composed of stakers, operators, and ecosystem partners, collectively driving the future of open innovation and decentralized services.

Looking Ahead: Programmed Incentives and Future Rewards
EigenLayer will launch a programmed incentive program to activate the AVS reward mechanism, bringing sustainable long-term value to stakers and operators. The first version will distribute EIGEN tokens weekly, with the protocol's newly generated EIGEN tokens allocated based on the ETH/LST/EIGEN staking amount delegated by stakers to at least one registered AVS operator. Operators will receive a fixed 10% of the allocated EIGEN tokens from their delegated stakers. Once the program is launched, rewards will accumulate weekly and can be withdrawn at any time, with unclaimed rewards continuing to accumulate. To ensure continuity, users who staked during the period from August 15 (second season snapshot date) to the planned launch will receive a one-time bonus.
The upcoming update will introduce AVS "reward boosts," with protocol-generated EIGEN tokens proportionally distributed as local rewards to each AVS. Future versions will include more advanced control mechanisms to adapt to ecosystem changes.
A detailed blog post about the first version of this programmed incentive program will be released soon.
Quick Recap
Claiming for the second season will be open to all groups on or before September 17, 2024.
