VIPRecommended high-quality projects for major clients (Re-staking, January 24)Summary EigenLayer's TVL increased from $250 million to $1.7 billion in just one month.

For users primarily holding ETH, depositing ETH in LSD protocols like Lido and then re-staking the acquired stETH to earn another profit presents a more advantageous strategy over the long term. Additionally, apart from the anticipated EigenLayer airdrop, projects like AltLayer will also airdrop their tokens to EigenLayer re-stakers. This could result in profits significantly surpassing initial expectations.

Users running Geth 1.14 (or higher versions up to 1.14 .13) are urged to update to the latest version to mitigate risks of node crashes or other interruptions.This emergency release is crucial because the vulnerability was initially discovered by security researchers at Polygon and might allow attackers remotely crash nodes running vulnerable versions of Geth.The Geth team clarified that nodes running on v1 .13.x series are not affected by this specific vulnerability.
