In the past few months, as the market size of EigenLayer, the leader in the re-staking track, has been expanding, more and more institutions are becoming its node operators. Dune data shows that as of May 20, EigenLayers ETH TVL has exceeded 5 million ETH, the number of tokens staked EIGEN has exceeded 54 million, and the total number of AVS (Active Verification Service) and node operators is 19 and 1,373 respectively.
This article lists the top 10 node operators and their asset size on the EigenLayer official website (statistics are all as of May 20). These high TVL operators generally register more AVS, with a total of nearly 854,000 ETH delegated, accounting for nearly 17.1% of EigenLayers ETH TVL; EIGEN delegated more than 34.3 million, accounting for 63.5% of the overall staking scale of the token. In terms of the number of stakers, the top ten operators have more than 82,000 participants, of which InfStones, AltLayer and EigenYields account for more than 70%; in terms of asset custody scale, P2P.org, EigenYields and Eigenpie are the big players in ETH staking, accounting for more than 70.9% of the top ten operators, mainly from Beacon Chain, Lido and Swell. EigenYields, P2P.org, AltLayer and Black Sand are the main contributors to EIGEN custody, accounting for 71%. However, in terms of per capita pledged assets, Black Sand, Galaxy, Staked and CoinSummer Labs are mostly participated by large investors.
Here are the top ten nodes sorted by Eigen’s stake:
