More About EIGEN
According to a blog post, EigenLayer introduces EIGEN a novel approach to token forking. It has four distinctive features:
- First, EIGEN’s universality aspect establishes it as a universal intersubjective token, designed during its Setup phase to address intersubjective faults. It can handle issues across any Application-Specific Virtual State (AVS) by forking and slashing EIGEN stakers.
- Second, its isolation feature recognizes the need for forking capabilities while minimizing externalities on all users and applications by making them fork-aware.
- Third, the metering feature adds a layer of security by requiring a bond deposit for any intersubjective challenge, deterring malicious forks by imposing a cost to the social consensus when switching tokens.
- Lastly, the compensation mechanism ensures that if an AVS is compromised by a malicious quorum of EIGEN stakers, the protocol allows for slashing and redistributing the malicious stakes back to the affected AVS users, maintaining fairness and protecting investments.
