P2P.org touts revenue share as EigenLayer operators vie for restakers
EigenLayer operator P2P.org aims to woo restakers with a revenue-sharing period as competition mounts ahead of a planned boost to restaking payouts, the company said on Oct. 16.
In September, EigenLayer tipped plans to enhance rewards for restakers with incentives denominated in EIGEN, the protocol’s native token.
“The new revenue initiative is the first of its kind to be rolled out from a staking validator,” P2P.org said in the Oct. 16 statement.

As Ethereum’s largest restaking platform, EigenLayer secures dozens of third-party protocols — dubbed actively validated services (AVSs) — with more than $11 billion of restaked collateral, according to DefiLlama.
Restaking involves taking a token that has already been staked — posted as collateral with a validator in exchange for rewards — and using it to secure other protocols simultaneously.
As the largest of EigenLayer’s professional validators, or “operators,” P2P.org is responsible for upward of $475 million worth of restaked collateral as of Oct. 15, according to the developer’s website.
It also supports staking for other assets, including Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ether ( ETH ), and commands $7.5 billion in total value locked (TVL), the operator said.
P2P.org competes with dozens of other operators, including staking-as-a-service providers such as Figment, Blockdaemon and Ankr.
Its one-time revenue-sharing period applies to restakers who delegated to P2P.org prior to Aug. 15, the company said.

EigenLayer is prioritizing onboarding users following EIGEN’s Oct. 1 unlock, founder Sreeram Kannan told Cointelegraph in an interview .
The EIGEN unlock was among the most highly-anticipated in 2024 and puts pressure on EigenLayer to scale protocol revenues from AVSs, which will partly accrue to EIGEN stakers.
EigenLayer’s incentives will reward restakers with EIGEN emissions comprising approximately 4% of the token’s total supply.
“Stakers will get programmatic rewards depending on how many AVSs they serve, and AVSs will pay fees to stakers and operators. The more AVSs pay, the more value gets allocated,” Kannan said.
