## **Conditions for ether.fi stakers**

* Participants will be ineligible for the following:
  * EigenLayer StakeDrop Season 2 ran from March 15th - August 15th, as such only points earned during that time frame will count for an allocation&#x20;
  * Withdrawing 95% or more of your Ether.fi position. For example, if you had 1 ETH staked and withdrew 0.94 ETH (94%), you'd still qualify. However, withdrawing 0.95 ETH or more would disqualify you.
  * A minimum 300 EigenLayer points were required to qualify for the EIGEN Season 2 StakeDrop&#x20;
  * If the allocation for the staker would have equalled less than 1 EIGEN&#x20;
  * Users with no active eETH/weETH balance in their wallet or no active weETH balance in partner protocols at date of snapshot
  * Users who exited within 5 days of the end of Season 3 (excluding Pendle maturity)&#x20;
  * Users with wallets that are part of a known sanctioned list&#x20;
  * Users who have actively been caught as sybils or attempting to manipulate the protocol or events to game the system
  * Users who are linked to on-chain scams such as pinkdrainer&#x20;
  * Users who were part of the Early Adopters Program (EAP), but still did not transition out of the EAP
  * **Any attempt to exploit loopholes or manipulate the rules to game the system will result in disqualification of any EIGEN rewards.**&#x20;
