The re-staking protocol EigenLayer has sparked controversy because its employees received a large number of tokens in the airdrops of ecosystem projects. EigenLayer's development company Eigen Labs has provided a list of employee wallet addresses to some projects preparing to issue tokens, including Ether.Fi, Renzo and AltLayer. Some project teams claimed that they had actively requested the list, while at least one team said that they did not request this information, but felt forced to issue tokens to Eigen Labs employees. It is reported that Eigen Labs employees received tokens as high as nearly 5 million US dollars through these airdrops. Eigen Labs and the Eigen Foundation banned employees from accepting such airdrops in May this year and implemented stricter internal policies to prevent conflicts of interest or similar issues from happening again.
