Why EigenLayer Gave Away More Tokens After Widespread Criticism of Its Stakedrop

EigenLayer has been in the news this week after it announced its ‘stakedrop,’ where it will distribute EIGEN tokens to early users of the restaking platform. Sreeram Kannan, founder and CEO of EigenLayer, and Robert Drost, CEO and executive director of the Eigen Foundation, discuss the launch of the token, a “universal intersubjective work token” and how it allows for slashing, or penalizing, for externally observable faults, such as data unavailability. The Eigen Foundation, a non-profit entity based in the Cayman Islands, was also recently established to grow the protocol and assist in creating a decentralized community. They also address criticisms of the token's launch, including geoblocking and the initial non-transferability of stakedrops for the community and explain why they decided to allocate an additional 100 EIGEN tokens for all participants in the stakedrop. Plus, they reveal a target date by when a decision about the token unlock date should be made.

After the Bitcoin Halving, Will the Runes Protocol Live Up to the Hype?

Not only will April 20 (or 19, depending on which part of the world you are) mark the fourth Bitcoin halving, but also the launch of a new primitive on Bitcoin called Runes Protocol. Charlie Spears, co-founder of Blackspace Media, joined Unchained to talk about all things Runes, which is a messaging protocol that allows for the creation of fungible tokens on Bitcoin. It is designed to fix some of the issues with the BRC-20 token standard, such as inefficiency and proliferation of unspent transaction outputs. Charlie believes that the launch of Runes will increase demand for Bitcoin's blockspace and potentially lead to higher transaction fees. He also discusses the potential for Runes to interact with Bitcoin covenants and layer two solutions.

Ep. 1 - Introducing the Podscast

Welcome to The Podscast - where we explore the emergence of onchain media and the people building it. The first episode is a bit different than usual. It's a solo recording explaining why we're launching the Podscast and the reason for onchain media. This is a canonical episode that we hope to revisit on a recurring basis, challenging and updating the thesis for onchain media. Every episode of The Podscast will be available onchain. We'll continuously look to experiment with different ways to engage with our audience. Strap in and enjoy.
