Eigen Labs was exposed to provide employee wallet addresses to the EigenLayer ecological project to participate in token airdrops
PANews reported on August 16 that according to CoinDesk, the top cryptocurrency startup Eigen Labs was exposed to have provided employee wallet addresses to the EigenLayer ecosystem project to participate in token airdrops, with the amount reaching nearly $5 million at its peak. This practice has raised concerns about conflicts of interest, especially in cases where some projects did not actively request it. Eigen Labs and its non-profit organization Eigen Foundation have banned employees from participating in such airdrops this year, stating that this move could undermine the "credible neutrality" of the project. The company emphasized that it has taken measures to ensure transparency and trust.
