Arbitrum’s token airdrop started off in a frenzy that broke multiple websites, and yet more than 428 million ARB tokens are left to be claimed, according to blockchain analytics firm Nansen.
Nearly 240,000 addresses still needed to claim their governance tokens late Thursday, after 61% of eligible crypto wallets – traders, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and investment firms – had already claimed their ARB.

The 428 million unclaimed tokens, worth nearly $596 million at press time, represents 37% of the total 1.1 billion ARB allocated for Arbitrum’s airdrop. These are tokens that have yet to enter the market. Eligible addresses have 184 days left to claim their tokens, if they haven’t already.
The effect that token supply can have on emerging markets was on full display Thursday morning when Arbitrum’s claims website collapsed due to heavy traffic, artificially restricting the airdrop’s initial redemption rate. That meant fewer tokens in circulation during a period of peak demand; ARB soared as high as $14 on some venues before settling out around $1.42 once more wallets had claimed their allocations.

Foundation behind restaking protocol EigenLayer plans bigger rewards for active users
An Incentives Committee would direct programmatic token emissions, focusing allocations on participants that secure AVSs and contribute to the EigenCloud ecosystem.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- The Eigen Foundation has unveiled a governance proposal aimed at ushering in new incentives for its EIGEN token, shifting the protocol’s reward strategy to prioritize productive network activity and fee generation.
- Under the plan, a newly formed Incentives Committee would manage token emissions, prioritizing participants who secure Actively Validated Services and expand the EigenCloud ecosystem.
- The proposal includes a fee model that channels revenue from AVS rewards and EigenCloud services back to EIGEN holders, potentially creating deflationary pressure as the ecosystem grows.
