EigenCloud (prev. EigenLayer) is a token. It has no blockchain of its own and no consensus of its own — it rents both from the chains it is issued on, which is why it is listed separately from the cryptocurrencies.

Ten criteria, weighted equally — for a token, the host chain replaces the developer share, the asset class stands in for the consensus ladders, and who can mint more for the Cryptocurrency Standards. Provisional: criteria marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice.

Fixed 4%/yr inflation via bEIGEN minting rights granted in a Sep 2024 upgrade; Eigen token is an upgradeable proxy whose owner (Foundation-side Safe) grants mintingAllowance, so changes are not token-holder enforced.
Insider would be 55 if the Foundation's R&D/ecosystem bucket is excluded.

It is issued on 2 chains, which means 2 separate issuances of the same claim. Linked names are chains that are themselves cryptocurrencies with a page here.
CoinSpectrum counts an asset once. A token has neither its own blockchain nor its own consensus mechanism, so it fails both of the site's two conditions — it is a thing issued on a chain, and the chain is what is counted. The methodology states the rule, and the argument for it is set out in full.
Listed, not hidden. The point is that it is measured as what it is.
