EigenLayer (EIGEN) price performance.

The current EigenLayer price is $1.28 as in the last 24 hours its value has changed by -4.07%. EigenLayer ranks number 202 in terms of market capitalization. EigenLayer is a decentralized currency, which means you can buy, sell, and exchange it without having to rely on traditional monetary systems.

What is EigenLayer (EIGEN)?

EigenLayer is an Ethereum protocol that introduces a new concept known as restacking. Itallows users to reuse their staked ETH to secure additional services and networks beyond Ethereum itself. By leveraging existing validator infrastructure, EigenLayer enhances security and capital efficiency for emerging decentralized applications and middleware protocols.

The core innovation behind EigenLayer is that it enables shared security across multiple systems without requiring new tokens or isolated staking setups. Validators can opt in to validate additional networks using the same staked ETH, while delegators earn rewards for supporting multiple services. 

EIGEN is the native token of the EigenLayer ecosystem. While ETH is used for restaking and securing services, EIGEN plays a role in governance, coordination, and future protocol utility. Token holders can vote on network parameters, protocol upgrades, and economic mechanisms.

EIGEN is valued at $1.28, with a market capitalization of $413,795,472.00. The token reached its all-time high of $5.65 on December 17, 2024. The current circulating supply is 322,616,228.99 EIGEN tokens, from a total supply of 1,742,146,433.95, with a capped maximum of .

EigenLayer is emerging as a key piece of Ethereum’s modular future, providing scalable, decentralized security to a growing stack of Web3 infrastructure. Its restaking mechanism lowers entry barriers for new protocols while strengthening network resilience overall.

What is EigenLayer (EIGEN)?

EigenLayer is a restaking protocol built on Ethereum. It allows users to reuse their staked ETH or liquid staking tokens to secure additional services or middleware, such as data availability layers, bridges, or oracles. This creates a shared security layer while improving capital efficiency. EIGEN is the native token of the EigenLayer ecosystem, used for governance and coordination of protocol functions.

What does EigenLayer do?

EigenLayer enables Ethereum restaking, allowing stakers to opt in and provide security to other protocols while continuing to earn staking rewards. This adds a new layer of programmability and security on top of Ethereum’s existing validator set. Its goal is to create a decentralized trust marketplace by giving services access to Ethereum-grade security without launching their own validator networks.

How does EigenLayer work?

EigenLayer works by letting Ethereum stakers opt in to “restake” their ETH or liquid staking tokens. These restakers delegate security to other on-chain services in exchange for additional rewards. The protocol enforces economic slashing conditions, meaning restakers risk penalties if those services misbehave. This system leverages Ethereum’s existing trust network to secure a broad range of applications.

What is the primary benefit of EigenLayer for developers?

EigenLayer allows developers to build decentralized services without having to bootstrap their own validator sets. Instead, they can inherit security from Ethereum via restakers, accelerating time-to-market while benefiting from credible decentralization and economic security.

How to buy EigenLayer (EIGEN)?

To buy EIGEN on Nexo:

  2. Visit the EigenLayer page
  3. Choose your payment method
  4. Enter the amount and complete the purchase

Where to buy EigenLayer (EIGEN)?

EIGEN is available on select crypto exchanges. On Nexo, you can purchase it directly using flexible payment options and a seamless transaction experience.

How to mine EigenLayer?

EIGEN is not mineable in the traditional sense. Participation in the network involves staking or restaking ETH or LSTs to support other protocols. You can earn rewards through restaking or contributing to the ecosystem, but there is no block mining mechanism like in proof-of-work systems.
