Overview

EigenLayer is the largest restaking protocol on Ethereum. It allows staked ETH to secure additional middleware services (AVSs), creating a shared security layer. Points accrue daily based on your restaked deposit size.

The airdrop is expected to reward users for Restaking ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (stETH, eETH, rETH) and Delegating to operators running AVS middleware.

How FarmDash Tracks EigenLayer

FarmDash reads your on-chain LST balances (eETH, weETH, stETH, rsETH, ezETH) via viem and estimates daily restaking point accrual.

Eligibility Actions

  1. Restaking ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (stETH, eETH, rETH)
  2. Delegating to operators running AVS middleware
