EigenCloud (prev. EigenLayer) EIGEN

What EIGEN actually is on-chain

EigenCloud (prev. EigenLayer) is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0xec53bF9167f50cDEB3Ae105f56099aaaB9061F83. That address, not the ticker EIGEN, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself EIGEN, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, EIGEN is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in EIGEN itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For EIGEN the project publishes a whitepaper and an active account as @eigenlayer. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where EIGEN sits in the market

#237 places EigenCloud (prev. EigenLayer) in the upper mid-cap band. This is where continuous two-sided quoting stops being guaranteed. EIGEN still prints regularly, but the depth behind each print thins out through the session, and the same order that barely registers in the morning can set the day's high in a quieter hour.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 7 live EIGEN order books (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX…). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #237 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

EIGEN against its all-time high

More than 95% separates EIGEN from its all-time high of $5.65 (on 2024-12-17) — a 32.8x recovery. At that distance the high stops working as a reference at all; it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and typically a different cycle. What carries information for EIGEN now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. That high was set roughly 2 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

EIGEN across its historical range

The recorded range runs 38.1x, from $0.1484 to $5.65 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

At 16.2% above its record low of $0.1484 (on 2026-04-05), EIGEN sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. That low is recent, so this is an active downtrend rather than an old floor holding: each fresh low retires the previous one as a reference.

EIGEN supply structure

Only 40.6% of EIGEN's 1.82 billion EIGEN total supply is circulating; 1.08 billion — 59.4% of the total — is not yet in the market. A float this narrow means the quoted price is set by a small fraction of the eventual supply, and the unlock schedule, not demand, is the dominant variable in the supply narrative. Thin float also amplifies both directions of any move.

What kind of asset EIGEN is

EigenCloud (prev. EigenLayer) is a liquid staking or restaking token, so its price is structurally tethered to an underlying asset plus accrued yield. The number to watch is not the absolute price but the discount or premium to the underlying: these instruments normally track closely, and a widening discount is a liquidity or counterparty signal rather than a directional view on the market.

CoinGecko files EIGEN under 10 categories, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Infrastructure, Ethereum Ecosystem, Base Ecosystem, Data Availability. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), Base (1,487 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading. Worth flagging from the metadata: EIGEN is tagged as US-originated.
