Justin Solar dumps one other M of EIGEN after week of controversy

Solar had beforehand claimed 5.24 million airdropped EIGEN (value $21.5 million on the time), sending it to HTX shortly after the token unlocked for buying and selling on October 1.

A pointy decline in value following each deposits suggests a big quantity of EIGEN gross sales accompanied the strikes. After a spike to $4.10 since Solar’s most up-to-date deposit, EIGEN is at the moment buying and selling round 4.00, based on knowledge from CoinMarketCap.

Whereas Justin Solar is not any stranger to controversy, over the previous week, EigenLayer has additionally discovered itself the main focus of criticism after a number of gaffes which have broken the mission’s fame.

EigenLayer purports to increase Ethereum’s ‘trust network’ to different initiatives by reusing, or ‘restaking,’ already-staked ETH. Nonetheless, its personal operations seem like run by way of a system extra akin to “trust me bro” reasonably than making the most of Ethereum’s trust-minimizing good contracts.

‘Unapproved selling’ or phishing rip-off?

Regardless of the widespread use of purpose-built vesting contracts for locked tokens, EIGEN had seemingly been distributed to traders underneath a handshake deal to not promote earlier than an agreed-upon date.

On Friday, EigenLayer took to X (previously Twitter) to publish a ‘community update’ that it was investigating “unapproved selling activity” related to a pockets that had acquired roughly 1.67 million EIGEN.

In September, crypto phishing scams netted roughly $46 million, based on ScamSniffer, with a single incident on September 29 accounting for $32 million of the overall misplaced.

Beforehand, EigenLayer has come underneath fireplace for permitting traders to money out by way of farming of staking rewards with supposedly locked tokens, and the potential conflicts of curiosity between EigenLayer advisors and their positions on the Ethereum Basis.

Solar within the highlight, as ever

In current months, Protos examined proof of reserves (PoR) for Solar-linked exchanges HTX, which contained a number of discrepancies in underlying property, and Poloniex, whose PoR was discovered to be severely missing, solely accounting for its TRON holdings.

Each exchanges have been hacked inside two weeks of one another in November final yr.

Given his proximity to the above points, Solar’s potential involvement within the proposed rearrangements of wrapped Bitcoin has led to issues over the token’s future credibility, with DeFi lending platform Sky (previously Maker) just lately voting to disable new borrows.
