EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum, introducing restaking to enhance cryptoeconomic security. It enables Ethereum stakers to restake their ETH or Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) across decentralized services, boosting asset security and earning extra rewards. Powered by the EIGEN token, the platform expands blockchain capabilities by managing both verifiable and intersubjective tasks, staking for faults, validating services, and incentivizing operator performance—creating a more secure, versatile, and robust blockchain ecosystem.
You can view, swap, send and receive EIGEN tokens directly from your MEW Wallet. To receive your EIGEN tokens you can send them to your public wallet address. You can then view them in your MEW Wallet by selecting your wallet and selecting the token from the tokens list. You should see the EIGEN token information page. You can send your EIGEN tokens in your MEW Wallet by clicking the ‘Send’ button and entering the recipient’s wallet address. To swap your EIGEN tokens, you can click the ‘Swap’ button and choose which tokens you want to swap to. However, if the ‘Swap’ button is not active you will need to use a DEX to swap your tokens.
