It states that the protocol “erroneously sent” the token to an attacker rather than the intended recipient.

The sale of $5.5 million worth of EigenLayer tokens on Friday raised suspicions after traders speculated that insiders, possibly employees or early investors, may have violated token lock-up periods by selling tokens shortly after trading began last week and less than a year later. I aroused it. The airdrop date is May 10, 2024. EigenLayer announced that it would investigate “unauthorized sales activity.”

Eigenlayer concluded that “…an email thread involving one investor’s token transfer was compromised by a malicious actor,” according to the protocol’s statement on X. “As a result, 1,673,645 EIGEN tokens were incorrectly transferred to the attacker’s address,” the statement said, noting that the hackers exchanged the tokens for stablecoins and transferred the proceeds to a central exchange. “We are in contact with these platforms and law enforcement agencies. Some of the funds have already been frozen,” Eigenlayer said.

“There are no known vulnerabilities in the protocol or token contracts and this compromise is not related to on-chain functionality,” Eigenlayer said. Current and former employees are prohibited from staking any EIGEN they receive from Eigen Labs into EigenLayer until at least September 30, 2025, and the company is enforcing a sales freeze until next year.
