Eigenlayer — Ethereum restaking protocol. They have points system that tracks your contribution, this points could be used in future similar to Jito where points were used for proportional airdrop.

I got in on EigenLayer via Ether.Fi and Swell network. I know that Ether.fi isn't an LST protocol but after asking EigenLayer Mods on Discord who confirmed that staking on Ether.fi also unlocks access to EigenLayer since Ether.Fi stakes directly via an EigenPod using a mechanism called native restaking. Swell as well but couldn't stake enough ETH to garner 30 PEARLs.
A few have done well this year — Arbitrum, Sui Celestia and Jito to name a few did well. Honorable mentions to Jito and Celestia for the top performers this year.
