EigenLayer unveiled its long-awaited airdrop, with claims set to go live on May 10. However, the drop is garnering significant pushback from EigenLayer's community, with users taking exception to token allocations, a geo-blocked claims website, and EIGEN launching as a non-transferable token. |
In Ethereum news, court documents from Consensys' lawsuit against the SEC reveal the regulator began investigating whether Ethereum is a security back in March 2023, the Ethereum Foundation is exploring how AI can bolster the security of Layer 2 networks, and developers propose Ordinals-inspired token mining to reward solo stakers. |
Plus, digital asset markets continue to pull back, Yuga Labs restores IP rights for Moonbirds holders, and Roger Ver's new book claims Bitcoin was "hijacked" during the battle of Bitcoin's block size. |
