EigenLayer’s EIGEN Airdrop Might Signal Demise of Once-Popular ‘Points’

But when it comes to protecting investors and offering transparency, Robert Leshner, the founder of Compound and Robot Ventures, an investor in EigenLayer developer Eigen Labs, thinks points are the worst of all worlds. “The entire root of investor protection is making sure that there’s not an information asymmetry between the investors and the sponsors. And points create the largest information asymmetry that exists in crypto,” he said. “Everything is at the team’s discretion, and users and investors are just praying that they get treated right by the team.”
