Governance token concentration (Gini)
EigenLayer's assessment for RD-F-047 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No on-chain token-weighted vote exists; EIGEN token concentration does not directly affect governance outcomes. Protocol Council (3-of-5) and Foundation Board represent structural institutional concentration — effectively a high-Gini equivalent. The 3-of-5 Protocol Council controlled by 2 Eigen Foundation reps + 3 external members concentrates upgrade approval in 5 individuals. Not a flash-loan attack surface but is institutional concentration.
