TechFlow news: According to official announcements, Eigen Labs plans to launch Rewards v2, an upgraded system designed to bring greater flexibility, efficiency, and customization to rewards within the EigenLayer ecosystem. The testnet deployment will go live on the Holesky testnet on December 12, with mainnet deployment scheduled for January next year. This proposed upgrade is also the first EigenLayer Improvement Proposal (ELIP) to utilize EigenLayer's governance process (EigenGov), recently announced by the Eigen Foundation.
The Rewards v2 upgrade proposal expands the platform’s reward capabilities by introducing several new features:
Operator-directed rewards: AVSs can reward operators based on performance or custom logic.
Variable operator fees: Operators can set their own fee rates per AVS, providing economic flexibility and encouraging diverse participation.
Bulk reward withdrawals: Stakers and Operators can claim multiple rewards in a single transaction, reducing gas costs.
These upgrades enable AVSs to dynamically incentivize operators, allowing for customized reward mechanisms that better align with their specific needs.
