What Is Eigen (EIGEN)?
Eigen is a groundbreaking protocol known as 'recursively composable', designed to bolster blockchain networks by reusing the security of a foundational layer like Ethereum. This approach enables enhanced computation and improved scalability by making use of the established security of the underlying blockchain, guaranteeing that upgraded features do not jeopardize security, thereby upholding trust and dependability. The name 'Eigen', originating from the German word for 'own' or 'intrinsic', signifies its role in adding distinctive yet essential functionalities to the base layer.
How Eigen (EIGEN) Works
The Eigen protocol enables more efficient and effective operation by allowing users to stake tokens on the primary blockchain. This approach avoids creating separate blockchains and instead promotes a system where multiple layers can coexist and operate recursively. The Eigen token is crucial for staking and governance within the Eigen ecosystem, aligning the interests of token holders with the network's overall health and efficiency. Token holders have a say in decision-making processes, ensuring a community-centric model of governance.
The EIGEN token is a universal work token that can be staked to perform tasks within a blockchain platform. Unlike existing work tokens, EIGEN is not specialized for a specific digital task, and it can be used to secure services with objectively attributable faults as well as those with faults that can be observed and agreed upon by honest observers outside the chain. Staking with EIGEN aims to secure services with intersubjectively attributable faults and penalize operators who participate in these faults, giving the EIGEN token a universal nature.
How Many Eigen (EIGEN) Tokens Are in Circulation?
EIGEN has a total supply of 1,681,371,191. The current circulating supply of EIGEN is 186,582,000.

Oman – officially the Sultanate of Oman – is an Arabian country situated in southwestern Asia, sharing land borders with Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, as well as maritime borders with both Iran and Pakistan. The nation spans the mouth of the Persian Gulf and is home to just 3 million inhabitants, with 1.65 million people living in the capital of Muscat alone. There, you’ll find historic sights such as the promenade of Mutrah Corniche, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera House, the Wadi Bani Khalid canyon, and Yiti Beach.
Of course, there’s also plenty to see outside of Muscat. Salalah is another popular destination among tourists, especially for those looking for a more relaxed experience. Some of the top things to do in this historic city include visiting Al Mughsail Beach and Al Fizayah Beach, or the Wadi Darbat valley, as well as the Sumharam Old City and Marneef Cave. Monsoon months are the best time to visit Salalah, so anywhere from June to August would be ideal.
Oman uses the Rial (OMR) as its official currency, and with Bitget, you can purchase cryptos in just a matter of minutes, no matter where you are in the country, from Muscat, Salalah, Nizwa, to Sohar.
