Ethereum Foundation Researcher Joins EigenLayer as Advisor
EigenLayer, a firm building a blockchain data network, has appointed Ethereum (ETH) Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist as an advisor. EigenLayer announced the news via a tweet, saying, "We are thrilled to welcome Dankrad Feist of the Ethereum Foundation to our team of advisors." Feist expressed his enthusiasm for joining EigenLayer in a separate tweet, stating, "I am joining EigenLayer in the same role as EF researcher Justin Drake. I have accepted a substantial token grant. I believe that having people with high integrity at the helm of EigenLayer will benefit Ethereum greatly." This appointment follows the earlier announcement that another Ethereum Foundation researcher, Justin Drake, had joined EigenLayer as an advisor. The addition of Feist to EigenLayer's advisory board is a significant move, given his expertise in Ethereum's technical development and his reputation in the blockchain community.
