EigenLayer空投上线，代币交易延迟

EigenLayer 的首次空投于周五开始，将该协议的 16 亿代币中的一部分分发给用户。然而，这些代币将在几个月内保持不可转让状态，从而推迟了其估值确定。初始认领窗口覆盖代币供应量的 6%，并计划进行后续“质押”。

EigenLayer Airdrop Commences, Token Transferability Delayed

EigenLayer 空投开始，代币转移延迟

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.

纽约州纽约市，2023 年 5 月 6 日 - EigenLayer 用户已启动了其在该协议 16 亿个 EIGEN 代币中的份额的认领流程，这些代币通过空投分发。然而，这些代币将在几个月内保持不可转让状态，从而阻碍了即时估值。

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.

根据 Eigen 基金会的博客文章，在实施新功能和协议进一步去中心化后，EIGEN 代币将变得可解锁。这些里程碑目标于 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.

随着 EigenLayer 成为去中心化金融 (DeFi) 领域的重要参与者，此次空投引起了广泛关注。自去年 6 月逐步推出以来，该协议已吸引了 150 亿美元的用户存款，巩固了其作为 DeFi 生态系统第二大项目的地位。

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”的新颖概念，允许用于以太坊操作的资本和硬件同时用于其他协议。尽管批评者对以太坊网络可能引入风险表示担忧，但 Eigen Labs 已采取措施解决这些担忧，并可能简化未来协议的启动。

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

2023年2月，该公司宣布获得风险投资公司Andreessen Horowitz 1亿美元的投资。

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.

目前的空投分配量约占 EIGEN 总供应量的 6%。 EigenLayer 用户可以在母公司 Eigen Labs 组织的后续“股权投资”中额外获得 15% 的代币。

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.

剩余的代币供应已分配给公司员工、投资者和 Eigen 基金会（一个新成立的实体，旨在促进 EigenLayer 生态系统的发展）。

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.

几个月来，Eigen Labs 一直没有讨论潜在的空投，在回应用户询问时宣称“没有代币”。然而，向储户分配“积分”暗示了即将推出的代币的存在，从而促使对该协议的加密货币投资激增。

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.

尽管有期待，但一些用户在了解 EIGEN 代币分配计划的细节后表示不满。值得注意的是，他们反对禁止美国、中国和其他国家的用户领取其获得的 EIGEN。

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

EigenLayer 通过向大多数用户额外分发 100 个 EIGEN 代币来回应批评。

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 积分在 Whales Market 上的交易价格为 0.20 美元。在 Aevo 上，基于 EIGEN 的永续合约价格略低于 9 美元。如果16亿枚代币全部按这个价格流通，EIGEN的市值将接近150亿美元。

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.

根据 Eigen 基金会的说法，虽然未来几个月仍然禁止直接代币交易，但用户可以立即质押或锁定他们的代币。与以太坊质押类似，锁定 EIGEN 允许用户向协议借出资金以换取适度的奖励。

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.

周五，用户只能通过 Eigen Labs 开发的 EigenDA 协议质押他们的 EIGEN。 Eigen 基金会确认，那些质押 EIGEN 的人将有资格获得未来的质押。

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.

初始空投的第二阶段计划于 6 月中旬开始，允许通过 Pendle 等协议积累积分的用户领取 EIGEN。 EigenLayer 首次空投的领取期将于 9 月 7 日结束。
