Finality Crypto Podcast

Frens Validator is now Finality. After building one of the leading retail validators and staking integrations in the space, we decided to pivot. Earlier this year, Frens Validator was acquired by Swyke, which is why we are taking on a new path. We continue to run our own nodes, but with a crisper focus on research and media to explore the business and economics of decentralized networks. Over nearly four years in the Cosmos trenches, we've seen it all! Networks launched and died, incentives evolved, and communities transformed. It became clear to us that for decentralization to remain a relevant aspect in this industry, it needs sound economic rethinking. This is the core of Finality!

The EigenLayer Token unlock of $EIGEN finally took place. But now the question is: what's next and what strategy should one follow? Accumulate more? Stake $EIGEN? Or sell? Is $EIGEN fairly rated at $4 Billion? What will the EigenLayer ecosystem look like in a few years from now and what does the EigenLayer roadmap look like? And what will the competition, like Symbiotic, do now?

This and much more will be discussed in today's episode!
