EigenLayer TVL exceeds $15b after lifting restrictions on pool limits

The total value of locked funds in the EigenLayer restaking protocol exceeded $15.1 billion.

Based on DefiLlama’s report, the team behind the project removed limitations on pool sizes. Consequently, this led to a substantial rise in the total value locked (TVL), which grew from $11 billion at the start of March to over $15 billion within just a few weeks.

To reach the $29.6 billion TVL (Total Value Locked) of Lido Finance’s liquid staking platform, EigenLayer’s TVL must be enhanced further.

Around April, Dune Analytics reported that EigenLayer had amassed approximately 115,000 unique users. Not long after, in early April, the team behind EigenLayer unveiled their mainnet and incorporated new capabilities for both operators and restakers. As a result, users can now enjoy several enhanced features. Furthermore, this year, the developers have pledged to introduce intra-protocol transactions.
