EigenLayer: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
EigenLayer is a blockchain infrastructure startup that enables the restaking of ETH across various decentralized applications. They also provide developers with access to the Ethereum staked capital base and decentralized validator set. Traditionally, staking requires validators to lock up ETH as a security deposit to engage in the network's consensus mechanism, earning rewards for contributing to network security and validating transactions. However, once ETH is staked, it is generally immobilized until withdrawn, restricting validators from utilizing these assets elsewhere. EigenLayer aims to tackle this challenge by allowing staked ETH to be restaked across diverse decentralized applications and services without removing it from the original consensus mechanism.
EigenLayer has raised $100M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Series B of $100M announced in Feb 2024.
That round is above the $6.5M median round size for Blockchain and Cryptocurrency companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's EigenLayer Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for EigenLayer is left off this page rather than filled in.
