A Proposal for Ethereum ETFs:
Ethereum ETFs (@BlackRock, @Fidelity, @BitwiseInvest, @21Shares, @VanEck_US, @InvescoUS, @Grayscale, @FTI_US) are betting on Ethereum's future — but to accelerate adoption and secure your investment thesis, you should directly fund development of Ethereum's next-gen infrastructure:
1. GTE on MegaETH: Ultra-fast decentralized trading. Centralized exchange speeds, decentralized trust.
2. Aerodrome on Base: Mass-retail DEX liquidity for Coinbase’s Base users, proven traction ($385M TVL).
3. EigenLayer: ETH restaking, universal security layer securing $50B+ transactions annually.
4. Aztec: Programmable privacy for financial institutions and privacy-sensitive apps.
Why? Because sustained Ethereum dominance relies on foundational infrastructure, not price speculation. Funding these directly amplifies network effects, drives real adoption, and solidifies Ethereum as the universal financial protocol, making Ether the most valuable asset in history.
It's not charity — it's strategically enhancing your own investment’s success.

What the typical crypto investor doesn’t understand is that ETH is the gravitational center of the Ethereum system.
No matter what scaling solution you look at — rollups, validiums, or EigenLayer-enabled systems like MegaETH — everything ultimately anchors back to onchain Ether.
- Rollups settle their state roots on Ethereum Mainnet, secured by validators who stake ETH and are paid in ETH-denominated fees.
- Validiums keep data offchain but rely on Ethereum to verify proofs, secured again by ETH-staked validators.
- EigenLayer extends Ethereum’s security to new systems by restaking ETH itself — making Ether the direct collateral behind decentralized infrastructure.
No matter how modular the architecture becomes, ETH remains the asset where value consolidates — the asset that ties it all together.
Yet despite Ether’s central role in scalability, the proliferation of Ethereum scaling solutions hasn’t triggered a surge in ETH demand.
Why?
Because Ethereum’s modular stack is still early. The stats show it:
- Ethereum Mainnet holds over $121 billion in TVL.
- The largest Layer 2, Base, holds about $2 billion — under 2% of Mainnet.
The market still overwhelmingly trusts Mainnet. Rollups, restaking, and other extensions are earning their place — but they’re still in their infancy when it comes to security, uptime, and adoption.
As these layers mature and users gain confidence, more value will migrate outward. But it won’t drift away — it’ll remain gravitationally bound to ETH.
If Ethereum’s modular scaling roadmap succeeds, then economic activity on these extensions will eclipse Mainnet by orders of magnitude. And the demand for ETH — as the collateral, the fee token, the final settlement asset — will grow accordingly.

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.
About the founders
EigenLayer was founded in 2021 by Sreeram Kannan, a former professor at the University of Washington. Kannan remains as the project's CEO today. 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.

Eigen FAQ
What is the total supply of EIGEN?
EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
Is it safe to trade EIGEN?
Although EIGEN is the native token of a legitimate crypto project in EigenLayer, there’s always an element of risk when trading any form of crypto asset. That's why it's important to do your own research and never trade with more than you can afford to lose.
What problem does EigenLayer solve?
EigenLayer helps to extend the security benefits of the Ethereum network to more projects in a cost-effective way, through restaking. Those who stake ETH can use EigenLayer smart contracts that extend cryptoeconomic security to other applications built on the network.
How can I get hold of the EIGEN token?
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.
How much is 1 Eigen worth today?
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.1973. 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.
What is cryptocurrency?
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.
When was cryptocurrency invented?
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.
