EigenLayer空投上線，代幣交易延遲

EigenLayer 的首次空投於週五開始，將協議的 16 億代幣中的一部分分發給用戶。然而，這些代幣將在幾個月內保持不可轉讓狀態，從而推遲了其估值確定。初始認領窗口覆蓋代幣供應量的 6%，並計劃進行後續「質押」。

EigenLayer Airdrop Commences, Token Transferability Delayed

EigenLayer 空投開始，代幣轉移延遲

New York, NY, May 6, 2023 - EigenLayer users have initiated the claiming process for their share of the protocol's 1.6 billion EIGEN tokens, distributed through an airdrop. However, the tokens will remain non-transferable for several months, hindering immediate valuation.

紐約州紐約市，2023 年 5 月 6 日 - EigenLayer 用戶已啟動了其在該協議 16 億個 EIGEN 代幣中的份額的認領流程，這些代幣透過空投分發。然而，這些代幣將在幾個月內保持不可轉讓狀態，阻礙了即時估值。

According to a blog post by the Eigen Foundation, EIGEN tokens will become unlockable after the implementation of new features and further decentralization of the protocol. These milestones are targeted for completion by September 30, 2024.

根據 Eigen 基金會的部落格文章，在實施新功能和協議進一步去中心化後，EIGEN 代幣將變得可解鎖。這些里程碑目標於 2024 年 9 月 30 日之前完成。

The airdrop has garnered significant attention as EigenLayer has emerged as a prominent player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Since its gradual rollout last June, the protocol has attracted $15 billion in user deposits, solidifying its position as the second-largest project in the DeFi ecosystem.

隨著 EigenLayer 成為去中心化金融 (DeFi) 領域的重要參與者，這次空投引起了廣泛關注。自去年 6 月逐步推出以來，該協議已吸引了 150 億美元的用戶存款，鞏固了其作為 DeFi 生態系統第二大項目的地位。

EigenLayer has introduced the novel concept of "restaking," allowing the capital and hardware used for Ethereum operations to be simultaneously employed for other protocols. While critics have raised concerns about the potential introduction of risks to the Ethereum network, Eigen Labs has taken steps to address these concerns and potentially simplify the launch of future protocols.

EigenLayer 引入了「重新抵押」的新穎概念，允許用於以太坊操作的資本和硬體同時用於其他協議。儘管批評者對以太坊網路可能引入風險表示擔憂，但 Eigen Labs 已採取措施解決這些擔憂，並可能簡化未來協議的啟動。

In February 2023, the company announced a $100 million investment from venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

2023年2月，該公司宣布獲得創投公司Andreessen Horowitz 1億美元的投資。

The current airdrop allocation represents approximately 6% of the total EIGEN supply. EigenLayer users can claim an additional 15% of the tokens in subsequent "stakedrops," organized by parent company Eigen Labs.

目前的空投分配量約佔 EIGEN 總供應量的 6%。 EigenLayer 用戶可以在母公司 Eigen Labs 組織的後續「股權投資」中額外獲得 15% 的代幣。

The remaining token supply has been allocated to company employees, investors, and the Eigen Foundation, a newly established entity designed to foster the growth of the EigenLayer ecosystem.

剩餘的代幣供應已分配給公司員工、投資者和 Eigen 基金會（一個新成立的實體，旨在促進 EigenLayer 生態系統的發展）。

For months, Eigen Labs refrained from discussing a potential airdrop, declaring "there is no token" in response to user inquiries. However, the distribution of "points" to depositors hinted at the existence of a forthcoming token, prompting a surge in cryptocurrency investments into the protocol.

幾個月來，Eigen Labs 一直沒有討論潛在的空投，在回應用戶詢問時宣稱「沒有代幣」。然而，向儲戶分配「積分」暗示了即將推出的代幣的存在，促使對該協議的加密貨幣投資激增。

Despite the anticipation, some users expressed dissatisfaction upon learning the details of the EIGEN token distribution plan. Notably, they objected to the exclusion of users from the United States, China, and other countries from claiming their earned EIGEN.

儘管有期待，但一些用戶在了解 EIGEN 代幣分配計畫的細節後表示不滿。值得注意的是，他們反對禁止美國、中國和其他國家的用戶領取其獲得的 EIGEN。

EigenLayer responded to the criticism by distributing an additional 100 EIGEN tokens to most users.

EigenLayer 透過向大多數用戶額外分發 100 個 EIGEN 代幣來回應批評。

Currently, EigenLayer points are trading at $0.20 on Whales Market. On Aevo, EIGEN-based perpetuals are priced just under $9. If all 1.6 billion tokens were to circulate at this price, the market capitalization of EIGEN would approach $15 billion.

目前，EigenLayer 積分在 Whales Market 上的交易價格為 0.20 美元。在 Aevo 上，基於 EIGEN 的永續合約價格略低於 9 美元。如果16億枚代幣全部以這個價格流通，EIGEN的市值將接近150億美元。

While direct token trading remains prohibited for the next few months, users can immediately stake or lock up their tokens, according to the Eigen Foundation. Similar to Ethereum staking, locking up EIGEN allows users to lend capital to the protocol in exchange for a modest reward.

根據 Eigen 基金會的說法，雖然未來幾個月仍然禁止直接代幣交易，但用戶可以立即質押或鎖定他們的代幣。與以太坊質押類似，鎖定 EIGEN 允許用戶向協議借出資金以換取適度的獎勵。

On Friday, users could only stake their EIGEN through the EigenDA protocol, developed by Eigen Labs. The Eigen Foundation confirmed that those who stake their EIGEN will be eligible for future stakedrops.

週五，用戶只能透過 Eigen Labs 開發的 EigenDA 協議質押他們的 EIGEN。 Eigen 基金會確認，那些質押 EIGEN 的人將有資格獲得未來的質押。

The second phase of the initial airdrop is scheduled to commence in mid-June, allowing users who have accumulated points through protocols like Pendle to claim EIGEN. The claim period for EigenLayer's first airdrop will conclude on September 7.

初始空投的第二階段計劃於 6 月中旬開始，允許透過 Pendle 等協議累積積分的用戶領取 EIGEN。 EigenLayer 首次空投的領取期將於 9 月 7 日結束。
