EigenLayer's ecosystem recorded 33 separate slashing events in the first quarter of 2026 alone, since the mechanism went live in April 2025.
EigenLayer's design tries to ensure any given slice of restaked ETH can only be slashed by one operator set at a time, limiting but not eliminating the overlap.
EIGEN trades near $0.19, far below its $5.65 all-time high, even as the protocol holds close to $13 billion in restaked value.
