This group includes both those who have staked native ether (ETH) and liquid staking tokens (LST). The distribution is based on the time and amount of ETH or EIGEN staked, with a focus on rewarding continued participation and commitment to the network.
The second group is the ecosystem partners, which includes Actively Validated Services (AVS), LRT (Liquid Restaking Tokens), Rollups, RaaS (Restaking as a Service) providers, and other key contributors.
