Eigen Foundation: An additional 100 EIGEN will be distributed to all users who interact with EigenLayer before April 29

According to official news, the Eigen Foundation clarified several community issues (lock countdown, timeline, and testnet users) and shared plans to distribute additional EIGEN to the community. All users who interact with EigenLayer before April 29 will receive 100 more EIGEN. This additional airdrop will be reflected in the allocation applied after May 10. After a simple Sybil filter, all Season 1 users will receive at least 110 EIGEN (10 EIGEN floor plus 100 EIGEN). Season 2 users who started staking between March 15 and April 29 will also receive at least 100 EIGEN. Users who staked after April 29 were not included. The three clarifications are as follows: 1. Start the lock countdown after transferability: After EIGEN is transferable to the community, investors and the team are still in full lock-up for one year. After that, they will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month and fully unlocked within three years after becoming transferable. 2. Timeline: Earlier this week, we announced that EIGEN will be unlocked after the new features are launched and further decentralized. However, we did not announce a date for enabling transferability. To provide a clear timeline, these features will be released on the mainnet on September 30, 2024. The decentralized and permissionless features allow power to be transferred to the community, which will have the right to vote and decide whether to enable transferability. 3. Testnet user allocation is coming soon Some testnet users are excluded from the eligibility. The missed testnet user allocation will be updated as part of the second phase of Season 1. We will provide more details in the coming weeks.
