The Largest Season 1 EIGEN Claimant Withdraws 1M $EIGEN ($3.61M) From Binance and Stakes the Entirety of Their 3.011M $EIGEN Holdings on Eigenlayer
Oct 07, 2024 at 04:39 pm
In a significant move, the whale has now sent the entirety of their 3.011 million $EIGEN (valued at $10.7M) to Eigenlayer for staking
boby1337.eth, the largest Season 1 EIGEN claimant, withdrew 1M $EIGEN ($3.61M) from Binance roughly five hours ago.
After selling part of the 2.255 million tokens claimed from the airdrop on listing day, boby1337.eth has been steadily re-accumulating $EIGEN over the past two days.
Now, the whale has sent the entirety of their 3.011 million $EIGEN (valued at $10.7M) to Eigenlayer for staking, signaling strong confidence in the platform’s future.
However, not all recent $EIGEN transactions have been positive. A wallet offloaded 1.67 million $EIGEN via MetaMask at $3.30 after receiving the tokens from the Eigenlayer team wallet.

In a related but isolated incident, Eigenlayer reported that an email thread involving one of their investors was compromised by a hacker. The attacker took control of the investor’s email, ultimately leading to the theft of 1,673,645 $EIGEN tokens (around $5.5 million in value).
The stolen tokens were sold through a decentralized swap platform, with the hacker converting the funds into stablecoins before transferring them to centralized exchanges.
Eigenlayer has reached out to these exchanges and law enforcement, with a portion of the stolen funds already frozen. It's worth noting that the broader ecosystem is unaffected by this breach, with no vulnerabilities found in the protocol or token contracts. The attack was unrelated to any onchain functionality.
Eigenlayer is continuing to investigate and will provide updates as they become available.
