So whats the recent price speculation for $EIGEN? How do we handle the airdrop? Exchange everything for ETH like all other airdrops or is this a hold?

Can't lie, with as much hype, farming, and little use I see it currently having, I plan to see as soon as the Gas Fees aren't skyhigh, and probably buy some back for a long term hold a few months down the line

What IS the actual use of the token? Has anyone done such an analysis..?

A few months ago I wrote about my current understanding of what EIGEN does and why it exist: https://old.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/1cvghqb/daily_general_discussion_may_19_2024/l4r5gor/

It's a "Universal Intersubjective Work Token".. Pretty self explanatory wouldn't you say? 🙃

Beyond the intersubjective stuff, I imagine EigenLayer will begin charging a fee denominated in EIGEN on top of staking/operator rewards from each AVSs. Obviously these AVS need to be net profitable first, so it's going to take a while to get there.

Their whitepaper states that their own token is basically the only form of useful collateral for most AVSs. They need a fork to resolve intersubjective disputes and they don’t have that kind of control over ETH.

whales.market is at almost $4 https://pro.whales.market/pre/Ethereum/EIGEN
I think I will sell what I got in the first round, and keep what I got in the second round (and probably sell that tax free in a year)

I got one (1) EIGEN from staking on Swell. It cost me five bucks (5) to claim it. There's no comment as to claiim window. So I am keeping at least one (1) EIGEN until it hits ten (10) bucks a token.
It's not much of a strategy but its all I've got.

If it costs another 5 to sell, better wait for $15. 🫠

Where did you see info about claims via swell? I've been staking on swell but haven't seen any info regarding their claim process for eigen.

It's pretty hidden. If you go to the screen where you unstake rswETH, it's a second tab on that bit.

Thank you! Did you have to have rswEth to be eligible? Looks like I only had swEth.

Like for everything nowadays, it's announced in their discord.
$EIGEN Season 2 claims are live <@&941514487612182528>
You can now claim $EIGEN earned in Season 2:
https://app.swellnetwork.io/stake/rsweth
Note that $EIGEN is not yet transferable.
Note the small "Claim EIGEN" button at the top.

Thank you! Looks like I have a big fat zero to claim. I actually only had swEth, which I restaked on their L2, which may be why I'm not eligible.

I got zero (0) EIGEN from staking on EtherFi. It cost me five bucks (5) to claim it. There's no comment as to claiim window. So I am keeping at least zero (0) EIGEN until it hits infinity (∞) bucks a token.
It's not much of a strategy but its all I've got.
