According to PANews, EigenLayer is currently testing support for permissionless tokens, allowing any ERC-20 token to be added as a re-stakable asset within the protocol. Eigen Labs announced that this feature will be deployed on the mainnet next week, broadening the range of assets that can provide security for decentralized networks and unlocking the cryptoeconomic security of ERC-20 tokens. Following the initial testing on the testnet, EigenLayer will transition to the mainnet phase, with user interface support expected to be introduced in the late third quarter.

Earlier this year, Andreessen Horowitz invested $100 million in Eigen Labs, bringing the project's total asset value to over $12 billion.
