▶️EigenLayer investigates the case of an investor "stolen" 1.6 million EIGEN, revealing that there was no token vesting contract?

✨Late on October 4, the EigenLayer community was in an uproar when Lookonchain discovered that a whale wallet had dumped 1,673,645 EIGEN via MetaMask at a price of around $3.3, while this amount of tokens was received from the EigenLayer team's own wallet.

✨That means, this whale is one of the early investors, or "family wallet", the project team's wallet that received such a huge amount of tokens. However, according to EigenLayer's tokenomics, the project has only just opened the EIGEN airdrop transfer. The investor's and VC fund's tokens are both locked, and will be unlocked in September 2025.

✨This incident not only makes the community doubt the security of EigenLayer but also question why the token that was originally locked can be sold without any obstacles? Because while the token must be locked by smart contract vesting, which is inherently designed by any project to manage the distribution, vesting according to tokenomics?
