About Eigen

EIGEN is a cryptocurrency that powers the EigenLayer ecosystem, a groundbreaking platform enabling 'restaking.' Restaking allows staked Ethereum (ETH) to secure additional networks and applications, providing Ethereum-grade security to new projects without requiring separate validator sets. EIGEN serves as the token of the ecosystem, incentivizing operators and securing services like data availability, off-chain computation, and verifiable AI. This innovative approach expands Ethereum's trust and scalability, making EIGEN a key player in the decentralized economy. Whether you're a developer or investor, EIGEN offers an opportunity to participate in building the future of blockchain infrastructure.

Comparative analysis of privacy and decentralized identity infrastructure @useTria • @idOS_network • @BeldexCoin Tria, idOS, and Beldex are projects that aim to address privacy and identity management in the web3 environment through different approaches. Tria is a chain-abstracted payment infrastructure that emphasizes usability, implementing a user-centric self-custody neobank by combining distributed key signing technology (TSS) with EigenLayer's re-staking security model. idOS builds enterprise-level identity infrastructure, supporting encrypted identity data storage and regulatory-compliant KYC reuse. Beldex is a layer 1 network that ensures anonymity at the protocol level, encrypting both transactions and communications to guarantee censorship resistance. Each of the three projects pursues different goals centered around UX, regulatory compliance, and complete anonymity. Tria has an architecture that combines TSS wallet infrastructure and BestPath AVS on a layer 2 structure based on @arbitrum Orbit. Private keys are not restored at a single point but are distributedly signed within an AMD SEV protected environment. Additionally, it enhances economic security through EigenLayer re-staking and performs efficient validation through competition among signers. idOS consists of a storage network based on Kwil and an economic network based on Arbitrum Orbit, where all identity data is stored in an encrypted form on the client side. This structure allows users to directly control data access rights, designed so that third parties cannot view plaintext data. Beldex introduces ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT based on the CryptoNote protocol derived from Monero, anonymizing the sender, receiver, and amount. Furthermore, 12 master node quorums generate blocks, requiring signatures from more than 7 to maintain consensus stability. In terms of security and privacy, Tria prevents key restoration through an asynchronous distributed key generation method utilizing Lit Protocol nodes and uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 for encrypted communication. idOS applies X25519-XSalsa20-Poly1305 encryption and enables recovery without a seed phrase through Partisia's MPC technology. Access control is based on time-limited tokens, preventing data exposure through re-encryption per recipient. Beldex, in addition to transaction anonymity, applies TextSecure ratchet and onion routing through the BChat messenger, concealing even metadata. Network security is guaranteed through a collateral deposit of 10,000 BDX and a block-level locking structure. From the perspective of identity and access management, Tria utilizes an ERC-4337 based account abstraction model to support gasless transactions and a social login-based DID system. idOS issues W3C-compliant verifiable credentials (VC), with access rights controlled based on time. Users can fully control data access while holding their personal decryption keys. Beldex maintains privacy through proof of key ownership instead of identity, supporting local wallet storage and multi-signatures. In terms of ecosystem scalability, Tria integrates over 250,000 users and more than 70 protocols, expanding into real-world payment areas through Visa card and AI network integration. idOS has built a consortium collaborating with major projects such as Arbitrum, Circle, Ripple, NEAR, and Tezos, providing a regulatory-friendly infrastructure. Beldex operates over 2,000 active master nodes and various privacy application services such as messaging, VPN, and browsers. Regarding regulation and transparency, Tria does not clearly mention regulatory licenses in its documentation, and external security audits have not been disclosed. idOS meets major data protection regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and MiCA, with a structure that executes deletion and retention regulations based on consensus. In contrast, Beldex relies on governance through economic staking rather than legal regulations, with some mid-level vulnerabilities reported in security audits. In conclusion, Tria has strengths in user experience and practical payment integration, while idOS provides enterprise-level reliability as a regulatory-friendly identity infrastructure. Beldex has a high level of technical completeness for complete privacy protection and maintains an independent position as a censorship-resistant network. Rather than direct competition, they perform complementary ecosystem roles aligned with their respective technical focuses.

Eigen FAQ

EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
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.
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.238. 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.
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.
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.

Dive deeper into Eigen

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.

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.
