Pyth Network Releases Price Feed For EigenLayer’s Token. Now Available Across 75 Blockchains
In Brief
Pyth Network announced the launch of EIGEN-USD price feed for EigenLayer’s token, making it accessible across over 75 blockchains.
Oracle service, Pyth Network announced the launch of an on-chain price feed for EIGEN, the native token of Ethereum-based restaking protocol, EigenLayer. The new EIGEN-USD price feed is now accessible across over 75 blockchains.
EigenLayer allows users to stake ETH to secure third-party networks or actively validated services (AVSs). Currently, the platform has over $12 billion in total value locked (TVL), a decrease from its peak of $20 billion reached in June of this year.
EIGEN token plays a major role in the EigenLayer ecosystem by providing a complementary function to ETH restaking. It introduces a mechanism to handle “intersubjective” faults, or behaviors that are not identifiable on-chain but warrant a penalty. With this mechanism, EIGEN provides a way for the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.
EIGEN has a total supply of 1.68 billion tokens, with an initial circulating supply of 185 million.
Earlier this week, EIGEN became transferable, launching with a market cap of $3.9 billion and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $6.51 billion. The token has also been listed on centralized exchanges, including Binance and MEXC.
How Do Pyth Network’s Price Feeds Work?
