RISK

Why prepare_eigenlayer_deposit is rated Critical

Depositing into an EigenLayer strategy is a financial operation that commits and locks user crypto assets into a DeFi staking/restaking contract. The ERC-20 approve step further authorizes the contract to move tokens on the user's behalf. Even though the transaction is unsigned (unsigned tx builder), the tool's purpose is to facilitate asset commitment to a financial protocol, making it Financial category.
