PANews reported on November 3rd that according to The block, two Ethereum researchers, Justin Drake and Dankrad Feist, announced at the same time that they would resign from their positions as consultants for the Ethereum re-staking protocol EigenLayer after they had received a large amount of Eigen token compensation, which raised questions about conflicts of interest. "I want to apologize to the Ethereum community and my colleagues at the Ethereum Foundation for the inconvenience I have caused," Drake wrote in a statement. "In hindsight, this was a wrong move for me."
