PANews reported on January 22 that according to official news, Ethereum re-staking protocol EigenLayer announced the launch of Rewards v2 mainnet on the X platform. The Rewards v2 protocol upgrade was launched on the mainnet at 04:30 Beijing time on January 22, 2025. Rewards v2 aims to bring greater flexibility, efficiency and customization to rewards in the EigenLayer ecosystem. Rewards v2 adopts the EigenLayer governance process (EigenGov) recently announced by the Eigen Foundation. This is also the first mainnet upgrade proposed and executed by the Eigen community.

Rewards v2 introduces several features: 1. Operator-specific rewards: AVS can reward operators based on performance or custom logic; 2. Variable operator fees: Operators can set their own rates for each AVS, providing economic flexibility. 3. Batch reward collection: Stakeholders and operators can claim multiple rewards in one transaction, thereby reducing gas fees. These upgrades enable the Automatic Verification Service (AVS) to dynamically incentivize operators, allowing for the customization of reward mechanisms that better meet their specific needs.
