Restaking is a $12.5 billion sector, accounting for 0.37% of the global crypto market cap.
The total value locked in restaking protocols has grown by 41% from mid-April's lows and currently sits at $19.27 billion.
With ETH ETF staking proposals awaiting formal approval, there seems to be scope for further growth.
@ollieblocmates got curious and dived into the restaking meta, why it’s making a comeback, and what staked ETH ETFs might mean for restaking platforms.

the kind of clarity that sticks with you
a mental model @sreeramkannan framed april of last year:
» Ethereum = Verifiable Internet
» Rollups = Verifiable Web Servers
» AVSs = Verifiable SaaS
» EigenLayer = Verifiable Cloud
The current price of Eigen is $1.5647. Over the last 24 hours, Eigen has increased by +11.04%. It currently has a circulating supply of 306,754,372 EIGEN and a maximum supply of 1,729,005,750 EIGEN, giving it a fully diluted market cap of $478.69M. At present, Eigen holds the 0 position in market cap rankings. The Eigen/USD price is updated in real-time.

EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.
The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.
How does EIGEN work?
Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.
EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.
Price and tokenomics
Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.
Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.
All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.
About the founders
EigenLayer was founded in 2021 by Sreeram Kannan, a former professor at the University of Washington. Kannan remains as the project's CEO today. EigenLayer is developed by Eigen Labs, a research organization "focused on contributing to protocols that supercharge open innovation on Ethereum", according to the company's official X account.

Eigen FAQ
What is the total supply of EIGEN?
EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
Is it safe to trade EIGEN?
Although EIGEN is the native token of a legitimate crypto project in EigenLayer, there’s always an element of risk when trading any form of crypto asset. That's why it's important to do your own research and never trade with more than you can afford to lose.
What problem does EigenLayer solve?
EigenLayer helps to extend the security benefits of the Ethereum network to more projects in a cost-effective way, through restaking. Those who stake ETH can use EigenLayer smart contracts that extend cryptoeconomic security to other applications built on the network.
How can I get hold of the EIGEN token?
EIGEN tokens were initially available to users of the EigenLayer protocol who claimed their share of the tokens’ total supply. The tokens weren’t transferable once claimed, meaning any EIGEN held couldn't be brought or sold. You can obtain EIGEN once the token is listed for spot trading on exchanges.
How much is 1 Eigen worth today?
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.5647. For answers and insight into Eigen's price action, you're in the right place. Explore the latest Eigen charts and trade responsibly with OKX.
What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies, such as Eigen, are digital assets that operate on a public ledger called blockchains. Learn more about coins and tokens offered on OKX and their different attributes, which includes live prices and real-time charts.
When was cryptocurrency invented?
Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, interest in decentralized finance boomed. Bitcoin offered a novel solution by being a secure digital asset on a decentralized network. Since then, many other tokens such as Eigen have been created as well.

Consensus Mechanism
The crypto-asset's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, introduced with The Merge in 2022, replaces mining with validator staking. Validators must stake at least 32 ETH every block a validator is randomly chosen to propose the next block. Once proposed the other validators verify the blocks integrity. The network operates on a slot and epoch system, where a new block is proposed every 12 seconds, and finalization occurs after two epochs (~12.8 minutes) using Casper-FFG. The Beacon Chain coordinates validators, while the fork-choice rule (LMD-GHOST) ensures the chain follows the heaviest accumulated validator votes. Validators earn rewards for proposing and verifying blocks, but face slashing for malicious behavior or inactivity. PoS aims to improve energy efficiency, security, and scalability, with future upgrades like Proto-Danksharding enhancing transaction efficiency.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
The crypto-asset's PoS system secures transactions through validator incentives and economic penalties. Validators stake at least 32 ETH and earn rewards for proposing blocks, attesting to valid ones, and participating in sync committees. Rewards are paid in newly issued ETH and transaction fees. Under EIP-1559, transaction fees consist of a base fee, which is burned to reduce supply, and an optional priority fee (tip) paid to validators. Validators face slashing if they act maliciously and incur penalties for inactivity. This system aims to increase security by aligning incentives while making the crypto-asset's fee structure more predictable and deflationary during high network activity.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies
The energy consumption of this asset is aggregated across multiple components:
To determine the energy consumption of a token, the energy consumption of the network(s) ethereum is calculated first. For the energy consumption of the token, a fraction of the energy consumption of the network is attributed to the token, which is determined based on the activity of the crypto-asset within the network. When calculating the energy consumption, the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) is used - if available - to determine all implementations of the asset in scope. The mappings are updated regularly, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
