Lombard also announced dual reward mechanisms for LBTC holders—base yield from Babylon and restaking returns from Eigenlayer.Eigenlayer now supports over 190 AVSs and 80,000 staking addresses. Additionally, Lombard and Eigenlayer are working on slashing risk frameworks to ensure added security for restaked BTC.Source link
