The EigenLayer airdrop enhances ETH staking yields by introducing restaking, allowing staked ETH to secure additional protocols and earn extra rewards. Currently, ETH staking yields ~3% annually; restaking via EigenLayer could add ~1-2%, potentially reaching 5% total, as noted in X posts. Potential returns depend on adoption and slashing risks, with over $16 billion TVL signaling strong interest. However, unproven AVS yields and token inflation may temper gains, with estimates suggesting a 40% ROI under optimal conditions. Long-term, it boosts ETH’s utility and capital efficiency, but sustainability remains uncertain.
