About EIGEN Airdrop
The Eigen Foundation, by Eigen Labs, officially initiated the EIGEN token claims process on May 10, 2024. This inaugural phase, known as Season 1, offers approximately 113 million EIGEN tokens, representing 6.05% of the token’s initial supply. Moreover, interested participants can claim their tokens by visiting claims.eigenfoundation.org, with the claim window slated to remain open until September 7, 2024.
Conclusion
The EigenLayer airdrop marks a significant milestone for the project. Despite the excitement surrounding the distribution, the new tokens remain non-negotiable for an unspecified period. This delays their tradability. Meanwhile, rumors circulating within the community suggest that EIGEN’s fully diluted market cap could potentially reach an impressive $15 billion.
