GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN – Zircuit, the chain where innovation meets security, today announced the EIGEN Fairdrop initiative, designed to bring greater fairness and accessibility to Ethereum staking rewards. With this initiative, Zircuit seeks to recognize the contributions of all EigenLayer participants, regardless of stake size, and support a vision for a secure, decentralized future.
The Zircuit Fairdrop is an industry first, intending to provide equal shares to all eligible EIGEN holders, offering a more inclusive approach to reward distribution. By moving away from traditional methods that often favor larger stakeholders, Zircuit hopes to contribute to a broader conversation on fairness in the Ethereum community.
"The EIGEN Fairdrop is just the beginning of a more community-driven vision. We see a future where Ethereum staking is driven by an inclusive approach that equally supports all levels of contribution. We’re excited to take this first step toward making that vision a reality."
stated Martin Derka, co-founder of Zircuit.
EigenLayer plays a significant role in advancing Ethereum’s restaking capabilities, helping extend the network’s security across new areas of decentralized finance and web3. The Fairdrop recognizes and rewards the value of these contributions, aiming to support a community that bolsters Ethereum’s security model. Through this initiative, Zircuit hopes to build on EigenLayer’s contributions, adding security and resilience to the Ethereum ecosystem.
More than 190,000 eligible participants are invited to claim their rewards by visiting Zircuit’s Fairdrop page and verifying their eligibility.
On October 8, 2024, Zircuit captured a snapshot of Ethereum Block #20919999, and all wallets with at least 3 EIGEN tokens at that time eligible for this milestone airdrop.
