The post EigenLayer introduces Protocol Council to advance decentralized governance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Is the newly formed Protocol Council the key to strengthening EigenLayer’s protocol security and supporting community-driven growth? On Jan. 14, EigenLayer (EIGEN) announced the formation of the Protocol Council to ensure protocol security and evaluate EigenLayer Improvement Proposals. The news was shared via a tweet from the Eigen Foundation. 3/ The Protocol Council maintains protocol security by reviewing/approving EigenLayer Improvement Proposals (ELIPs), ensuring all changes advance the protocol and support ecosystem growth. This marks a pivotal step in the evolution of EigenLayer’s decentralized governance. — Eigen Foundation (@eigenfoundation) January 13, 2025 EIGEN is a protocol built on Ethereum (ETH) that introduces restaking, a feature allowing already staked ETH (ETH locked up to secure the network) to also secure various other applications. In simpler terms, if you have ETH staked to help protect the Ethereum network, you can use that same staked ETH to provide security for decentralized services like sequencers (which help order transactions), oracles (which supply real-world data to the blockchain), and data availability layers (which ensure data is accessible and verifiable), opening up new possibilities across decentralized applications. The newly formed Protocol Council will be instrumental in directing and overseeing the introduction of the above-mentioned features, ensuring that all improvements are well-vetted and support the protocol’s long-term objectives, fostering broader ecosystem development and empowering community-driven contributions. In addition to the formation of the council, EIGEN has launched the Eigen Council Telegram group, offering the community an opportunity to actively participate in governance, vote on proposals, and submit ideas. Active voters will receive EIGEN tokens as rewards, making the process more engaging. /5 With the Protocol Council’s arrival, we’re also launching the Eigen Council Telegram. These users will be allowed to partake in proposals to help shape the Eigen DAO, active voters will receive $EIGEN as a reward. Stay…
