Is EigenLayer Ready For Institutional Adoption?
Firstly, the majority of institutions hold their assets with a qualified custodian or trusted institutionally-focused wallet provider. However the primary delegation flow for restaking with EigenLayer is via their user interface and requires a connection to DeFi wallets such as Metamask, Trust or Rainbow.
