CoinVoice recently learned that Dankrad Feist, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, said on X that he and Justin Drake recently decided to become consultants for EigenLayer, with the same conditions, and joined in their personal capacity, not representing the Ethereum Foundation, and focusing on risk and decentralization. He said that he did receive a large number of tokens from EigenLayer, but did not think that this would change or affect his position on the way the core protocol is developed.
He believes that if Eigenlayer is developed by someone with high integrity, it will bring huge benefits to Ethereum. He believes the current leaders intend to do so and intends to hold them accountable for it. If he believes that this is no longer the case, he will not hesitate to speak out and/or resign.
It was recently learned that Justin Drake, a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, tweeted that he had recently become an advisor to the Eigen Foundation. Although he can get a lot of EIGEN token rewards as an advisor, he will be ready to terminate his advisory position if the development direction of EigenLayer goes against the interests of Ethereum, and promises to reinvest all advisory income into valuable projects within the Ethereum ecosystem, whether it is investment or donation.
