  • TL;DR EigenLayer has activated the Redistribution function on its mainnet, replacing the burning of slashed funds with case-by-case redistribution. Protocols like Cap can now reassign collateral from non-compliant agents to users, instead of destroying the funds. The tool enables service-level agreements for cross-chain bridges, penalizing delays and rewarding compliance.
