EigenLayer (EIGEN), a prominent blockchain protocol that focuses on restaking within the Ethereum ecosystem, has fallen short of investor expectations, according to Alex Obchakevich, founder of the Ukrainian-Austrian analytics firm Obchakevich Research.
In a recent post, Obchakevich noted that EigenLayer initially garnered significant attention and raised an impressive $64.5 million from venture capitalists.
While it promised breakthroughs in liquid staking, aiming to provide high returns for users and reliability for investors, the protocol has not delivered on those commitments, he argued.
Users anticipated substantial returns from staking their assets on EigenLayer; however, the actual outcomes were far less favorable, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and raising questions about the project’s transparency within the digital asset community.
Additionally, Obchakevich mentioned that suspicions of insider trading and market manipulation grew after a staggering $2 billion in EIGEN tokens was sold following its listing on major crypto exchanges.
On a more positive note, Obchakevich praised Bracket, an early-stage protocol targeting innovation in the liquid betting market, asserting that it is focused on genuine growth rather than chasing hype or artificially inflating its audience and total value locked (TVL).
