EigenLayer又陷入涉嫌“贿赂”的争议之中。

昨日,据Coindesk调查爆料,再质押协议EigenLayer员工获得了依赖于其技术的生态项目的大量空投代币。这些代币的总价值最高接近500万美元,截止发稿价值近100万美元。

虽然EigenLabs 在官方博客中澄清,EigenLabs 和 Eigen 基金会今年 5 月已经禁止员工接受此类代币空投。

EigenLabs还表示也没有证据表明 Eigen Labs 的任何员工向任何团队施压,以不当手段使 Eigen Labs 公司实体或其员工受益。

但加密用户们似乎并不买账。Coindesk X平台的评论区充斥着对EigenLayer “受贿”的质疑。

不久前的5月,以太坊基金会核心成员Justin Drake 和Dankrad Feist接连宣布担任EigenLayer 顾问,并收取大量代币奖励作为“顾问费”后,EigenLayer已经深陷涉嫌向以太坊基金会“行贿”嫌疑的争议中。

一场对于EigenLabs 的涉嫌“贿赂”的讨伐,也逐渐上升到了对整个以太系层层利益输送的质疑。

百万美元的空投,是“早期激励”还是被迫“行贿”?

从Coindesk 分析来看,Eigen Labs 员工收到的最高价值近500万美元的空投,主要来自Ether.Fi、Renzo 和 AltLayer这三家生态项目。

AltLayer 、Ether.Fi、 Renzo分别为 Eigen Labs 每个员工分配了 4.65万 枚 ALT、1.05万枚 ETHFI以及 6.67万枚REZ。这三笔空投的峰值价值分别约为 3万美元、8万美元和 1.67万美元。这意味着,Eigen Labs 员工人均可以拿到价值最高接近13万美元的空投“福利”。

2024 年 1 月下旬至 6 月中旬,Eigen Labs 员工总共领取了 48.79万 个 ETHFI(峰值 350 万美元)、173.33万 个 REZ(峰值 43.33万 美元)和 153.96 万个 ALT(峰值 102 万美元),峰值总价值最高接近500万美元。

WuBlockchain 分析师 @defioasis 通过链上调查发现 51 个疑似 Eigen Labs 员工地址跟踪,截止8月15日,他们共领取了 48.79万枚 ETHFI、196.48万枚 ALT 和 133.51万 枚 REZ,其中 41.3% 的地址选择出售 ETHERFI;41.5% 出售 ALT,31.7% 继续质押 ALT;40% 出售了 REZ。

Eigen Labs 的员工是如何得到空投的?Eigen Labs是否向生态项目“勒索”成为了核心关注点。

Eigen Labs在给 CoinDesk 的一份声明中表示:“对于有兴趣空投到 Eigen Labs 的项目,会为所有 Eigen Labs 员工提供了一份地址列表。”

Ether.Fi 创始人Silagadze 称,Ether.Fi 主动向Eigen Labs 索要了一份匿名的员工钱包地址,向他们主动发送了空投,以表示“感谢”,且 Eigen Labs CEO Kannan 并未参与其中。

但Eigen Labs生态的另一团队却声称,表示并未主动请求也收到了这份员工地址清单,并因担忧危及与 Eigen Labs 的关系,在感到被迫的情况下支付了代币。由于担心遭到报复,该项目团队选择了匿名。

也就是说,Eigen Labs 主动提供员工地址清单可能对项目造成了潜在“勒索”。

而生态项目为有利益关联的生态系统“不透明”的分配空投,也成为了社区诟病的关键。

AltLayer 是唯一一个主动在1月的博客文章中披露其向 Eigen Labs 团队分配情况的项目。后AltLayer 的通讯负责人 Aparna Narayanan 称这些分配是“表达感谢的代币”。

Renzo 和 Ether.fi 虽然提到部分空投为生态系统“合作伙伴”保留,但都未提到分配给了 Eigen Labs 的员工。

加密KOL @DrNickA 在X平台对此评论到,代币的用途之一就是完成激励,但问题是它没有透明地完成。如果这是通过 DAO 完成的,那就完全没问题了。

层层的利益输送,让以太坊再受质疑

这不是EigenLayer第一次陷入“贿赂”质疑。

今年5月,以太坊基金会核心成员Justin Drake 和Dankrad Feist接连宣布担任EigenLayer 顾问,并收取大量代币奖励。

尽管Dankrad Feist声称获得了大量的代币后,不会改变或影响对核心协议应该如何开发的立场,也愿意接受监督。

但是也遭致社区用户的讨伐,大量用户质疑以太坊基金会核心成员拿到好处后,无法保持中立性。加密KOL Cobie 表示,身兼两职的以太坊基金会成员可能会面临利益冲突,尤其是当项目现在或未来可能会与以太坊存在利益冲突的话。

以太坊基金会两位核心成员与EigenLayer的利益往来,也让以太坊基金会被冠上了官僚化的质疑。有文章形容以太坊基金会好似“国会”,以太坊基金会研究员则成为了就成了拉拢的“议员”。

备受创新停滞、官僚化质疑的以太坊,加上涨不动的币价,也让不少加密用户对以太坊失去信心。

近期EigenLayer存在“受贿”和“行贿”的争议, 让一些社区加密用户对于以太坊生态在此次表示悲观。

加密KOL@forgivenever@forgivenever 称:“以太系这个周期的政治正确运动就是搞拆分盘和寻租,LSD/LRT项目方向Eigen员工行贿,Eigen项目方再向以太基金会成员行贿,各种假信徒发空气送给食利者,最后由市场买单,你说以太坊怎么涨?”

“行贿”成潜规则,最终用户买单?

不透明的代币分配,为项目方寻求利益中的“行贿”提供了便利,通过空投贿赂成为了加密行业的一项潜规则。

一些与 CoinDesk 交谈的业内消息人士表示,为员工谋取利益相关方的空投福利,已成为加密行业中的常态,尽管很少被公开讨论。

除了Eigen Labs 等以太坊系存在频繁的利益输送外,加密风投机构也可能是“行贿”的重灾区。

7月,加密风险投资巨头 Polychain 也指控其前员工 Niraj Pant 与从被投项目 Eclipse Labs中受贿。

在拿到Eclipse 加密代币的 5%分配承诺后,Niraj Pant 推动Polychain 领投了 Eclipse Labs  600 万美元的 pre-seed 轮融资。

而这部分不透明的空投分配和内幕交易,让上市后的代币存在“操纵”隐患,最终大概率被由大量“受蒙蔽”的用户买单。

Glue Finance Founder: ETH Has Entered a Phase of Non-Consensus, an Inflection Point Is Coming

"Glue Finance founder argues Ethereum's current price underperformance stems from its 'unfinished machine' status. Despite record usage and settlement value in 2026, ETH remains below its 2021 peak because the protocol's continued development creates a dependency on the Ethereum Foundation for guidance and fixes. Key issues include centralized L2 sequencers, governance-based freezes (as seen with Arbitrum), state bloat, a vulnerable public mempool, and looming quantum computing threats. This 'dependency discount' prevents ETH from accruing the 'ossification premium' that markets award to immutable, trustless systems like Bitcoin. The author, a self-described Ethereum maximalist, rejects two flawed escape paths: a 'war mode' shift towards centralization for speed (which would sacrifice Ethereum's core value), or simply replacing the EF with another governing body. The only solution is the 'Manhattan Plan' or 'Lean Ethereum': a concerted, accelerated effort to complete and then *freeze* the protocol's neutral core. This involves finalizing critical upgrades in consensus (Lean Consensus), scaling (targeting 1 trillion gas/sec), quantum resistance (leanXMSS signatures), and full ZK-provable execution. The goal is to pass the 'walk-away test'—where Ethereum could run forever, neutrally, without the EF. Success would transform Ethereum into the first programmable, quantum-resistant, immutable global settlement layer, flipping its current discount into a unique 'eternity premium' that surpasses Bitcoin's. Failure—stagnation or trading neutrality for speed—would relegate it to being a slower, less trustworthy competitor."

Glue Finance Founder: ETH Has Entered a Phase of Non-Consensus, an Inflection Point Is Approaching

Glue Finance founder argues that Ethereum's current price underperformance, despite high on-chain activity, stems from its incomplete state and lingering dependency on central stewards like the Ethereum Foundation. The core thesis is that the market is discounting ETH not for lack of use, but because the protocol remains a "machine under construction." Key unresolved issues include centralized L2 sequencers with limited escape hatches, state bloat, vulnerable public mempools, and the looming quantum computing threat. This perpetual "work-in-progress" status forces reliance on a small group of maintainers, undermining the network's promise of credible neutrality and immutability. The author, a self-described Ethereum maximalist, rejects two flawed paths: a "wartime mode" of centralizing for speed (surrendering Ethereum's unique value) or merely replacing the Foundation with another governing entity. The only solution is to complete and then "freeze" the protocol's neutral core through a focused "Manhattan Project" dubbed "Lean Ethereum." This project aims to bundle critical upgrades—consensus layer overhaul, massive scaling via ZK-proofs, quantum resistance, and statelessness—into a decisive push to finalize the base layer. Once the core rules are cryptographically solidified and beyond anyone's control (passing the "walk-away test"), Ethereum would shed its dependency discount and earn a "rigidity premium" for its credible neutrality and programmability, potentially surpassing Bitcoin's valuation. The race is between completing this hardening and the risks of protocol capture or stagnation.

Hackers Steal Nearly $17 Million in 40 Days as 'Zombie Contracts' Become Their ATMs

According to an analysis published by ZeroDrift on June 22, 2026, attackers have stolen approximately $16.9 million over 40 days from five deprecated but still operational smart contracts across various blockchains. The primary issue is not a specific vulnerability but the incomplete decommissioning of legacy contracts. These "zombie contracts" often retain economic value, operational permissions, and callable functions, making them prime targets long after teams cease active development. The most significant loss occurred at DxSale, where an old locker contract lost about $7.3 million due to a forgotten control path becoming accessible again. Other affected projects include TrustedVolumes (~$5.87M), Raydium's legacy AMM pool (~$1.34M), Aztec Connect (~$2.28M), and Huma Finance V1 pool (~$101k). These incidents involved diverse systems—RFQ settlement, credit pools, liquidity lockers, AMMs—demonstrating the widespread nature of the risk. The analysis highlights that automated tools are lowering the cost for attackers to systematically scan for these long-tail targets, which have public code and weaker monitoring. In contrast, defensive practices for contract retirement remain underdeveloped. While the DeFi industry has mature audit processes for new deployments, it lacks strict protocols for securely sunsetting old contracts, which only become truly "retired" after all funds, permissions, authorizations, and trust assumptions are removed.

Valuation Rout of Old Titans: The Demise of a Generation's Asset Valuation Framework

"The Old Titans' Valuation Collapse: The Death of an Era's Valuation Framework" Between Alibaba's 2014 NYSE debut at $93.89 and its 2026 price of ~$95, twelve years have passed with zero price appreciation. This stagnation symbolizes a wholesale valuation reset for an entire generation of Chinese internet assets. Companies like Tencent, Pinduoduo, Meituan, Bilibili, and Kuaishou have seen catastrophic declines of 80-98% from their peaks. The core question arises: what framework now prices these companies, or has the framework itself expired? The valuation logic for Chinese internet stocks followed a clear "anchor-setting and anchor-removing" process. From 2014-2017, the dominant narrative was "US comparable discounting" – applying a growth premium and governance discount to US peers' multiples. This anchor loosened with the 2018 US-China trade war and the VIE structure risk, then was violently uprooted by the 2020-2021 regulatory crackdowns (Ant Group, Didi, anti-monopoly fines). The 2022 delisting panic and subsequent 2025-2026 geopolitical shocks (US military lists, AI espionage accusations) completed the demolition. The old "US对标打折" model is dead. However, this is not solely a China story. A structural mirror exists in US "old titan" stocks ("老登股"). In 2026, even Microsoft – with robust fundamentals – saw its PE compress from a 34x median to 22x, its worst performer status among the "Magnificent Seven" driven by a $190 billion annual AI capex crushing free cash flow. The core dilemma is universal: legacy platform giants, whether Alibaba or Microsoft, are spending colossal sums to chase an AI paradigm that may颠覆 their own high-margin, user/subscription-based business models. They have shifted from "companies defining the future" to "companies needing to prove they won't be淘汰ed by the future." This phenomenon of a dying valuation坐标系 has a historical precedent: post-1989 Japan. After its bubble burst, the "Japan premium" narrative ("most efficient manufacturing + perpetual growth") collapsed. A 25-year valuation vacuum ensued until Warren Buffett provided a new language in the 2010s: "low valuation + high dividend + governance reform." China's internet sector is now in a similar vacuum six years into its reset. While different from Japan's deflationary context, the parallel is clear: the old macro assumption of "deep integration with global capital" is falsified, but a new pricing framework is absent. Potential "new languages" for Chinese internet valuations are contradictory. AI transformation requires gutting profitable core businesses (e.g., Alibaba's ad-driven e-commerce) for an unproven consumption-based model, risking a Microsoft-like cash flow crunch. Alternatively, shareholder returns (buybacks/dividends) could build a floor, following Buffett's Japanese playbook, but current scales are insufficient to form a standalone anchor. The current state mirrors mid-1990s Japan: the old framework is dead, the new one unborn. The market waits in a vacuum for a重新定义ing force – a person, event, or proven business model shift – to answer "why buy." This may only be the middle phase of a prolonged re-rating.
