A top Ethereum Foundation (EF) developer, Dankrad Feist, disclosed Tuesday that he has accepted a paid role at EigenFoundation, a newly created non-profit meant to guide EigenLayer, the pioneering 'restaking' protocol that many skeptics have flagged as potentially posing systemic risks to the world's largest smart-contracts blockchain...Feist disclosed in a post on X that the position comes with a significant allocation of EigenLayer's new EIGEN token, though did not specify how many tokens he would be receiving.
The news set off a debate on crypto Twitter about whether advising the EigenFoundation would constitute a conflict of interest, especially given how prominent Drake and Feist are at the Ethereum Foundation and how serious many blockchain experts are taking the potential systemic threats posed by the emergence of EigenLayer.
