According to analysis by ai_9684xtpa on X (formerly Twitter), the largest individual recipient of the $EIGEN airdrop is none other than Tron founder, Justin Sun. Sun has reportedly accumulated over $38.74 million in airdrops from projects within the Ethereum ReStaking ecosystem.

  • Additionally, he has received around $3.45 million worth of ETHFI tokens, equating to about $17.25 million in USD.
