ChainCatcher news, according to Coindesk, the re-staking protocol EigenLayer has sparked controversy due to employees receiving a large number of tokens in ecosystem project airdrops. The total value of these tokens peaked at nearly $5 million. Eigen Labs had provided a list of employee wallet addresses to projects preparing to issue tokens, including Ether.Fi, Renzo, and AltLayer.One project team stated that they sent a portion of the new cryptocurrency to each employee of Eigen Labs as a "thank you," with each employee's allocation ultimately valued at $80,000. Another team reported that Eigen Labs sent them a list of employee wallet addresses and felt compelled to pay out tokens to avoid jeopardizing their relationship with Eigen Labs, which is crucial to their business.To address these issues, Eigen Labs and the Eigen Foundation quietly prohibited employees from accepting such token airdrops in May of this year, acknowledging that this practice could lead to conflicts of interest or at least give that impression, and implemented stricter internal policies.

ChainCatcher news, the TON ecosystem game Hamster Kombat has announced that it has received a lot of feedback regarding the new "Playground" section and would like to respond to it.Hamster Kombat stated that participating in various activities will affect the number of tokens received in the upcoming airdrop, rather than the airdrop distribution itself, and all players (excluding bots) will receive tokens. No section of the game is mandatory to play, and the game's philosophy does not require participation in any activities. The goal of introducing new features like the "Playground" is to give real players, new players, and players with different gaming styles the opportunity to earn their fair share of tokens. The only requirement to receive tokens is to connect the TON wallet to the profile. Regarding the airdrop: the announcement stated that the team is actively working to make it happen.Hamster Kombat added that this is a very complex technical task involving all platforms, which may pose potential overload risks to the network participating in this process. We hope the airdrop can proceed as smoothly as possible so that everyone can receive tokens, and we are currently working closely with the TON blockchain team to develop the most efficient technical solutions for our airdrop.
