Top Community Questions & Answers
How do I farm EigenLayer points?
Restake ETH or LSTs (stETH, eETH, rETH) on app.eigenlayer.xyz. Points accrue daily based on deposit size. Delegate to an operator — required for points to count.
Is it too late for EigenLayer airdrop?
EIGEN token exists but ongoing restaking rewards continue. With $15B+ TVL, the protocol keeps incentivizing restakers. Not too late for ongoing distributions.
EigenLayer vs Ether.fi — which gives more points?
Do both. Deposit ETH on Ether.fi to get eETH, which automatically restakes through EigenLayer. You earn BOTH Ether.fi Loyalty Points AND EigenLayer restaking points. Double-dip.
How to track EigenLayer restaking points?
FarmDash reads your on-chain LST balances (eETH, weETH, stETH, rsETH, ezETH) via viem and estimates daily point accrual automatically. One dashboard for everything.
Skip the manual searching. Track EigenLayer points and protocol context directly.
