EigenLabs improves the utility and security of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) by allowing users to restake their tokens within its ecosystem, which helps maximize earnings and enhance network security. The company targets blockchain developers, crypto enthusiasts, and institutional investors looking to optimize returns on their staked assets. Unlike traditional finance, EigenLabs operates in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, generating revenue through transaction fees and a share of staking rewards. Its goal is to promote open innovation in DeFi, supported by a team of experts in blockchain technology.
