Zircuit, the chain where innovation meets security, is thrilled to announce the success of its EIGEN ‘fairdrop’ initiative.
With a first-of-its-kind distribution of two percent of ZRC tokens to eligible EIGEN holders, Zircuit has introduced a model of fairness and inclusivity in the Ethereum staking ecosystem, underscoring a commitment to decentralization and community empowerment.
The EIGEN fairdrop an industry first provided equal shares to over 190,000 eligible EIGEN holders and moved away from traditional distribution models that often favor larger stakeholders.
Within just the first week, over 51,000 users claimed their ZRC, and this fair and community-first approach has garnered widespread appreciation across the crypto space.
The fairdrop includes a wide range of contributors to the EigenLayer ecosystem, extending beyond EIGEN stakers to support Uniswap liquidity providers, EtherFi eEIGEN holders and Renzo ezEIGEN holders.
Praising Zircuit’s approach, Sreeram Kannan, founder of EigenLayer, said,
“Thrilled to see Zircuit introducing the first fairdrop for EIGEN holders with two percent of their ZRC tokens.
“This is an amazing community-first approach, embodying fairness in the EigenLayer ecosystem, with everyone receiving the same amount.”
The fairdrop, an industry milestone, supports Zircuit’s vision of an inclusive Ethereum ecosystem and strengthens the EigenLayer network by recognizing all contributors.
The initiative’s snapshot taken on October 8, 2024, at Ethereum Block #20919999 included wallets with a minimum of three EIGEN tokens while excluding core EigenLayer team members and investors, keeping the focus on the community.
