Summary EigenLayer's TVL increased from $250 million to $1.7 billion in just one month. The re-staking sector is witnessing extraordinary growth.

The court also ruled that identifiable participants in Lido DAO are involved in managing the operations of the DAO, thus they cannot evade responsibility through its decentralized structure. According to court documents, Paradigm Operations, Andreessen Horowitz and Dragonfly Digital Management were accused of being general partners because they allegedly actively participated in Lido's governance and operations.
