Interesting advice. As someone who is above all the tiers listed here, my take is completely different. Until you get to 9 figures, you don't need anybody else to help you. Don't need private deals and can be fully on-chain. Here are the things I do. 1. Experiment with any new product I hear about. 2. If I like the product and feel excited to use it, reach out to the team to see if I can support, sometimes with capital like for @ExponentFinance, @DeFiCarrot or @Claynosaurz, sometimes with advice like for @asgardfi, sometimes with both like for @sanctumso. 3. The space has grown so vast that there is no way we can keep track of anymore unlike 10 years back. So you look to like-minded people that run funds and scour these early opportunities like @mattytay with @colosseum and LP in those funds. Sometimes, they will let you co-invest or mentor in projects that might resonate with you. 4. Always maintain directional exposure, because, as some intelligent spartan once said, if you don't have exposure to the industry you wake up and spend everyday in, what are you really doing here? 5. Instead, I borrow against the directional exposure and use that for yield farming. In the process, gain points from protocols such as @kamino or @sparkdotfi. Spark was an unexpected huge airdrop for me tbh. 6. It's a myth that you cannot do airdrop farming at size. You can both hunt for the best yields and gain exposure to a ton of new protocols BECAUSE of size. I have been airdropped 8 figures this cycle so far. Just an example, if KMNO ever reaches 1$, that will be my first 9 fig airdrop. I screwed up HYPE by not accepting terms or something. 7. Your time is always your investment. Optimize it more than optimizing your capital. You need not target 20-30% basis trades and delta neutral strategies. Optimizing those without bots is a pain in the ass, even with somebody else managing it. Go for 10-15% on-chain yields. But use your time wisely, hunt new projects. Be the first to provide them feedback, good or bad. You don't know how much it comes back to you, both in terms of rewards as well as connections. I never knew anyone from @ArciumHQ or @monad but the investments happened because of this.

Managing a Portfolio at Drastically Different Sizes I've led the DeFi Dojo community for nearly half a decade now. We have family offices, hedge funds, trade shops, founders, and VCs in there. We also have real estate investors, software engineers, and investment managers in there. We also have blue-collar workers, graduate students, and office workers in there. I've seen people of every size, and I can, with a degree of confidence, give an overview of what has been most profitable for each. SO, let's get into it: $1-$100K: These portfolios tend to have delta exposure. Feverishly airdrop farming without losing capital (delta neutral, ETH lending, etc) is a great way to stack here quickly. Getting big wins from airdrops while getting small wins from being early on good projects can go a long way. This is really the level where you need to be OBSESSED with defi in order to grow, because at this level, there is real edge in putting in hours of effort into farming the first incentives, getting airdrops, finding outsized returns on strategic LPs, etc. and holding some runners with conviction. Funding Rate Arbitrage games to farm Perp Dex airdrops, high FRs on volatile assets with low OI, etc is another good strategy in this range. $100K-$1M: This is where you need to start diversifying, protecting capital, get obsessed with opsec, have a dedicated laptop just for transacting, etc. PTs on Pendle will be an obvious go-to for idle capital that you don't need immediately. Lend aggregation is another great source of consistent but fully liquid yields. Airdrop farming larger campaigns (HL, Lighter, Monad, Eigen, Ethena, etc) makes a lot of sense, again you want to do this in a principal protected way. You will likely have or want to have 10-40% of your portfolio in blue chips like BTC/ETH/SOL etc because you can afford to have "forever hold" positions that you don't really intend to sell for the forseeable future. NO DIRECTIONALLY EXPOSED LEVERAGE. FR Arb here can be great with large mcap assets, but you really don't want to play with leveraged betting, since you'll do better YoY just growing through holding and yielding. Maybe you have a small high-conviction alt bag, but it's likely <5% of your portfolio. You might start to dabble in seed round investments via Echo or Legion, but that should not be your main strategy. $1M-$10M: Here you are likely starting to consider hiring people to help with the portfolio, to run algorithmic market making bots, to do more advanced basis trading. You are also likely participating in private liquidity deals. I would warn against private liquidity deals that have TGE at some indefinite future, and prefer the deals that get 15-35% APR in liquid tokens or from established teams. Seed round investments are probably 5-10% of your investments, but you might also be outsourcing this to a hedge fund allocation, and diligence funds should be something you do actively, or outsource to a family office. PTs are still pretty good here as are a lend agg vaults, but you're probably not doing too much funding rate arbitrage ON CHAIN. Rather, doing the basis trade with CME futures against onchain longs is much better and can still do 10-20% APR pretty consistently. You likely have a better idea of how to use margin, and may be trading through your Roth IRA with personal funds, or have some tax-setup that's favorable to you for longterm investments. $10M-$100M: Here, you're probably working directly with teams, perhaps you have your own VC firm, you're an SLP "strategic liquidity provider," and it is unlikely you are the sole manager of your own funds / portfolio. You should be spending most of your "work" time in the telegram trenches, on calls with investable teams or teams you want to deploy capital towards, and possible also be involved with either a family office or fund that you either own or are working with. You may also outsource these tasks to a trusted partner. Finding talent to help manage the funds so that you don't have to is important here, since you're probably either retired or partially retired. You can have a variety of "forever hold" positions, likely in cold storage, that you don't really care about price action on, since you can, if you need to, borrow against them for income. Surprisingly, PTs and Lend agg can still be good here, but you'll want to have alerts for large arbitrage opportunities, for automated exit strategies, you should probably invest in a risk team or auditor to help with diligence. CME Basis still also works here, and you may be doing fewer and fewer things on chain, though still having exposure to crypto as a whole. OTC buying and OTC basis may become an important part of your portfolio as well, being able to buy in size without meaningful price impact, potentially hedging your exposure for an arbitrage to your purchase price.

Eigen FAQ

EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
EIGEN tokens were initially available to users of the EigenLayer protocol who claimed their share of the tokens’ total supply. The tokens weren’t transferable once claimed, meaning any EIGEN held couldn't be brought or sold. You can obtain EIGEN once the token is listed for spot trading on exchanges.
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.809. For answers and insight into Eigen's price action, you're in the right place. Explore the latest Eigen charts and trade responsibly with OKX.
Cryptocurrencies, such as Eigen, are digital assets that operate on a public ledger called blockchains. Learn more about coins and tokens offered on OKX and their different attributes, which includes live prices and real-time charts.
Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, interest in decentralized finance boomed. Bitcoin offered a novel solution by being a secure digital asset on a decentralized network. Since then, many other tokens such as Eigen have been created as well.

Dive deeper into Eigen

EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.

The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.

How does EIGEN work?

Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.

EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.

Price and tokenomics

Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.

Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.

All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.

About the founders

EigenLayer was founded in 2021 by Sreeram Kannan, a former professor at the University of Washington. Kannan remains as the project's CEO today. EigenLayer is developed by Eigen Labs, a research organization "focused on contributing to protocols that supercharge open innovation on Ethereum", according to the company's official X account.
