EigenLayer plans to launch an upgraded version, Rewards v2, in January next year

According to Cointelegraph, Eigen Labs plans to launch an upgraded version of Rewards v2, aimed at bringing greater flexibility, efficiency and customization to the rewards in the EigenLayer ecosystem. The testnet will be deployed on the Holesky testnet on December 12th and will be deployed on the mainnet next January.

The proposed upgrade is also the first EigenLayer Improvement Proposal (ELIP) using the EigenLayer governance process (EigenGov) recently announced by the Eigen Foundation. The Rewards v2 upgrade proposal expands platform reward functions and introduces several features: Operator-oriented rewards: AVS can reward operators based on performance or custom logic. Variable operator fees: Operators can set their own rates according to AVS, providing economic flexibility and attracting diverse participation. Bulk claim rewards: Stakers and Operators can claim multiple rewards in a single transaction, thereby reducing gas costs.
