EigenLayer plans to distribute 86 million EIGEN tokens, around 5.1% of its total supply, as part of its Season 2 “stakedrop” campaign. The distribution will be split across three groups:

Euler launches V2The DeFi lending protocol Euler launched its V2 deployment on Wednesday.
Unlike V1, Euler V2 is being reimagined with a fundamentally modular design that “isolates risk, is easier to test, analyze, and audit, and reduces single points of failure,” according to an official blog post.
With the aid of the protocol’s “Euler Vault Kit”, builders can create ERC4626 vaults that are customizable in terms of risk management, governance settings, and asset collateral types.
These vaults can be interconnected using the “Ethereum Vault Connector” module, allowing deposits to be recognized across different vaults seamlessly.
Euler V2’s modular design allows vaults to interact, enabling diverse credit markets tailored to specific needs. This flexibility supports various lending strategies and asset management approaches, leading the team to brand it as a “meta-lending” protocol capable of unifying multiple lending and borrowing markets.
Back in March 2023, Euler was exploited in a $197 million flash loan attack. Following negotiations and pressure from the community and law enforcement, the attacker ultimately returned the stolen funds.
In response, Euler V2 underwent a rigorous security process, with 29 audits conducted by 12 independent firms. The team has described this as “one of the most expensive and comprehensive security processes for any DeFi protocol to date,” according to their official blog.
