According to Techub News, CoinDesk reported that Eigen Labs sent team member wallet addresses to projects in the EigenLayer ecosystem that aim to issue tokens. One of the project teams told CoinDesk that it sent tokens to the Eigen Labs team as a "thank you", with each member allocated about $80,000 in tokens. At the high point of the token price, Eigen Labs team members received about $5 million in token allocations. Due to potential conflicts of interest, Eigen Labs has banned such payments to employees this year.
