EigenLayer plans to launch the upgraded Rewards v2 in January next year
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Eigen Labs plans to launch an upgraded version of Rewards v2, aimed at bringing greater flexibility, efficiency, and customization to rewards within the EigenLayer ecosystem. The testnet will be deployed on the Holesky testnet on December 12, with the mainnet deployment scheduled for January next year.
This proposed upgrade is also the first EigenLayer improvement proposal (ELIP) to utilize the EigenLayer governance process (EigenGov) recently announced by the Eigen Foundation. The Rewards v2 upgrade proposal expands the platform's reward capabilities and introduces several features: Operator-oriented rewards: AVS can reward operators based on performance or custom logic. Variable operator fees: Operators can set their own rates based on AVS, providing economic flexibility and attracting diverse participation. Batch reward claiming: Stakers and Operators can claim multiple rewards in a single transaction, thereby reducing gas costs.
