EigenLayer New Proposal: Incentive Committee Launch, Major Adjustment to EIGEN Token Mechanism

2025-12-20 00:32:12

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】The EigenLayer Foundation recently proposed a new governance proposal, which mainly aims to boost the EIGEN token—redesigning the incentive mechanism to adjust the entire protocol’s reward logic in two directions: first, to focus on network security and fee generation; second, to encourage more efficient ecosystem participation.

The highlight of the new plan is the establishment of an Incentive Committee, which is specifically responsible for overseeing the issuance and distribution of EIGEN. Who can receive rewards? Those who genuinely contribute to AVS security and the EigenCloud ecosystem. In other words, you need to have actual output to share the rewards.

There’s also a fee model to mention. The revenue generated from AVS and EigenCloud services will be directly returned to EIGEN holders, which means that as the ecosystem grows, the supply pressure of the token will gradually ease, and there is even a possibility of deflation. In the long term, this design can better align the token’s value with real-world applications, creating a community of shared interests between holders and ecosystem development.

It's the same old story from the incentive committee; to put it bluntly, they are just afraid that the coin price will fall too badly. The ones really making money are still those few Large Investors, while we retail investors continue to tag along. Deflation? Ha, let's wait and see, but for now, let's think about how not to lose.

As soon as the incentive committee went online, it started positioning itself. Can it really push the fake goods out...? I'm a bit skeptical.

The fee rebate mechanism is indeed interesting, but the key still depends on how much real revenue AVS can generate; otherwise, it's just a castle in the air.

Wait, who actually makes the decisions for the Incentive Committee? It sounds like another power struggle. This deflationary expectation has been hyped for so long, but in the end, it still depends on whether the actual costs can keep up. EIGEN should have been adjusted long ago; the previous mechanism was really a bit disappointing. Only those with actual output can receive rewards? Alright, then let's see who is really working and not just shouting slogans. Feels like just making empty promises again. The real key is when it will actually be implemented.

The setup of the Incentive Committee easily becomes a new attack vector; where power is concentrated, there is room for rent-seeking. It depends on what the audit report says; otherwise, I remain cautious about this mechanism.

Alright, changing things up again. Are they really tying the interests so tightly this time? Only those with actual output can earn rewards. It feels like they're just screening for those who truly work and slackers... This deflationary expectation is really tempting, but I'm worried it might just be empty promises. When the time comes, the AVS ecosystem will still be the same few, and the income won't be as impressive as imagined. The Incentive Committee really depends on the people chosen. Otherwise, it might just be some idle shareholders forming cliques. I'm holding a wait-and-see attitude. Wait, does this indirectly suggest that there were issues with the previous distribution? Why are they redesigning it now... Can EigenCloud really generate income? That's the most critical part. Without cash flow, everything is pointless.

Another incentive mechanism to harvest retail investors. Will it last more than three months this time?

It's the Incentive Committee again, and redesigning once more—how many times has this routine been played... However, the idea of directly rewarding holders with fees is quite interesting. Let's see if it can truly become deflationary.
