Zircuit, the chain where innovation meets security, is excited to announce the successful launch of its EIGEN Fairdrop initiative. In a first-of-its-kind move, Zircuit has allocated 2% of its ZRC tokens to eligible EIGEN holders, introducing a new model of fairness and inclusivity in the Ethereum staking ecosystem.

The EIGEN Fairdrop marks the first time a chain has distributed tokens equally to over 190,000 EIGEN holders, moving away from traditional distribution models that often favor larger stakeholders. Within the first week, over 51,000 users claimed their ZRC, showcasing the initiative's success and community impact.

The Fairdrop encompasses 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.

Sreeram Kannan, Founder of EigenLayer, commented on the initiative, “Thrilled to see Zircuit introducing the first Fairdrop for EIGEN holders with 2% 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 aligns with Zircuit's vision of an inclusive Ethereum ecosystem and strengthens the EigenLayer network by recognizing all contributors. The initiative's snapshot was taken on October 8, 2024, at Ethereum Block #20919999, and included wallets with a minimum of 3 EIGEN tokens, excluding core EigenLayer team members and investors.
