$ezEIGEN
EigenLayer recently introduced its Programmatic Incentives v1. Starting from August 15th, 2024:
4% of the total $EIGEN supply will be distributed over the first year:
3% to $ETH/LST stakers and operators
1% to $EIGEN stakers and operators
The $EIGEN rewards will be distributed linearly on a weekly basis.
Soon after the $EIGEN token became transferable, Renzo introduced $ezEIGEN to make $EIGEN restaking ez pz. $ezEIGEN is a liquid synthetic token representing a user’s restaked $EIGEN position.
Security First
$ezEIGEN smart contracts leverage a battle-tested tech stack, proven through ezETH, enabling $EIGEN holders to earn additional rewards that automatically compound within the restaking protocol.
Rewards
1 % of the total EIGEN supply
Auto-compounded rewards
Please note that $ezEIGEN is a reward-bearing token similar to Compound’s cTokens. $ezEIGEN holders earn $EIGEN rewards that will be auto-compounded and reflected in the price of $ezEIGEN. As a result, the value of $ezEIGEN increases over time relative to the underlying $EIGEN as it accumulates more rewards.
ezPoint Bonus Program
The $ezEIGEN point bonus program only runs until Friday, Oct 11th, 5 PM EST, where users can receive 100 ezPoint one-time bonuses for every 1 $EIGEN deposited.
To be eligible for the one-time bonus:
Deposit to $ezEIGEN before the deadline: Fri, 11th Oct, 5 PM EST
Hold $ezEIGEN for at least 14 days

Withdrawals
Withdrawals for $ezEIGEN are enabled on day 1. After initiating a withdrawal, there is a 7-day cooldown period, and users will need to claim their $EIGEN when it becomes available.

Once your withdrawal is ready, click the Claim button to collect your assets.
Migration from $EIGEN Staking to $ezEIGEN
Users who have already staked their $EIGEN, either directly via the EigenLayer dashboard or through Renzo and other projects, need to unstake their $EIGEN first. Visit the EigenLayer dashboard, or if you previously staked through Renzo, you can unstake your $EIGEN here: https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/operator/0xb585cb192855253d33ddbdac2d20f50085ef8d41
Once you initiate the unstaking transaction, there’s a 7-day cooldown period. You can track its progress here: https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/restake/EIGEN and claim your $EIGEN tokens once they become available.
After you claim your $EIGEN, visit https://app.renzoprotocol.com/flow/ezEIGEN to deposit your $EIGEN.
