mETH Protocol

Introducing the mETH Buffer Pool upgrade. Faster and predictable mETH-to-ETH redemptions targeting ~24 hours. All while enjoying enhanced yields and no additional fees. ↓

@Markkrypt @LidoFinance @Mantle_Official 👀 mETH mentioned.

. $mETH is gradually becoming one of the strongest and most sustainable yield narratives on Ethereum right now. Even though it’s not the absolute king by size @LidoFinance and $stETH still dominate with massive TVL around ~$20–30B. @Mantle_Official - @mETHProtocol has already proven its own appeal through extremely fast early growth and its current strategic positioning. According to DefiLlama, mETH Protocol currently sits around $545.18M TVL, still maintaining a top 4–5 position among the largest LST ecosystems. –  $mETH average APY currently sits around ~1.9% (depending on tracked pools), fluctuating between roughly 1.63–2.73% across different periods. Lower than basic ETH staking yields around 3–4%, but compensated heavily through superior liquidity. –  The biggest differentiator comes from the Buffer Pool + @Aave integration, allowing users to redeem ETH within roughly ~24 hours instead of waiting 5–20 days through traditional native staking exit queues or most other LST systems. Around 20% of TVL gets allocated into Aave to generate a more stable blended yield model. –  $cmETH introduces another yield layer through EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and additional restaking integrations, effectively combining staking + restaking + DeFi incentives into a single composable asset. Personally, I think $mETH is not chasing short-term “hype APY” like point farming narratives. What they’re building feels much closer to institutional-grade staking infrastructure: –  validator partners including @Kraken, P2P.org, Copper –  deep integrations with @Bybit_Official, @Ethena, @Pendle_fi, @Compound  and active usage as collateral inside DAO and corporate treasury strategies. Mantle DAO even voted to lend 30k ETH into Aave to strengthen ecosystem stability- a very strong signal of long-term strategic thinking behind the protocol. As Ethereum staking becomes increasingly diluted staked ETH ratio already surpassing 35%, users are gradually prioritizing yield + liquidity + security instead of blindly chasing the highest APY possible. That’s exactly where $mETH fits perfectly: a hybrid LST combining stable yield, fast redemption, and deep composability across Mantle L2 and more than 40 integrated dApps. This is also why $mETH previously became one of the fastest-growing LST protocols ever, reaching $1B TVL within an incredibly short period of time.

.@0xjlow: ETH is becoming part of institutional portfolios, with staking yield taking shape as a core layer. mETH enables that yield to move as liquid capital across markets, through infrastructure built to scale.

Our April 2026 Bybit Report is now published. It covers a month-end snapshot of mETH holdings associated with @Bybit_Official, including balances and asset flows. Read it below.

cmETH will continue to be supported by Merchant Moe throughout the winddown by @mETHProtocol. Users may continue to make $cmETH swaps and provide liquidity in pools. Merchant Moe will remain the cornerstone liquidity hub for users in the ecosystem during this transition.

Full details here: methprotocol.xyz/blog/announcem…

As part of our effort to strengthen long-term protocol alignment, we are winding down cmETH, our liquid restaking token. All other mETH Protocol products will operate as usual. → Rationale Since launch, cmETH quickly grew into one of the most widely integrated LRTs, reaching $620M in TVL at its peak. However, following careful evaluation of current sector developments, winding down cmETH is the most prudent path forward as we refocus resources where we can deliver more durable value to users. → Key Dates May 7, 2026: cmETH minting disabled. Existing positions are unaffected, with unstaking and bridging remaining operational. Mid-June, 2026: Final EigenLayer reward distribution. Any undistributed rewards earned through Oct. 20, 2025 will be made available to claim. Nov. 7, 2026: Reward claim window closes for previous cmETH campaigns. If future TGEs occur from related AVSs or restaking partners that include retroactive rewards, they will still be distributed to eligible users. *cmETH unstaking and bridging are expected to remain available after this date, subject to ongoing review of remaining supply and user activity. → Next Steps • cmETH holders: You can continue to unstake or bridge. • Partner protocol users: Please review your positions and check each platform’s continued support for cmETH. • Unclaimed rewards: Please claim them before Nov. 7, 2026. • mETH stakers: No action is required. Thank you for being part of our journey. mETH Protocol continues to build.

@Timmy_Turnes Liquid staking on Ethereum, built for institutional scale. 🫡

why is mETH Protocol starting to look more interesting than most LST projects rn? while most staking protocols are still competing on APY numbers, mETH is quietly building actual infrastructure around ETH liquidity a few things that caught my attention: first - withdrawals one of the biggest pain points in staking has always been waiting forever to unstake mETH introduced Buffer Pool which works together with Aave to make withdrawals almost instant (usually around ~24h) for larger players, that kind of liquidity matters way more than +1% yield second - security integration this isn’t just another “park your ETH and farm” setup anymore the team is positioning mETH inside the security layer of the ecosystem meaning it can be used as collateral and protection across different protocols in practice, this adds an extra layer of safety and makes the system more resilient under stress it turns a passive staking asset into something that actively supports and secures the network a much more real use case than most LST narratives right now third - institutional access with integrations like Fireblocks, funds and larger allocators can access the protocol directly through custodial infrastructure that opens the door for serious liquidity inflows over time feels like the team is trying to build the most capital-efficient ETH staking layer possible instead of chasing short-term hype 2026 will probably show who’s building real fundamentals and who isn’t gud stek

mETH is supported across trusted CEXs and onchain apps. Earn ETH staking yield while keeping capital liquid and ready to deploy.

1/ Time-tested execution is what creates lasting differentiation. Q1 2026 has been difficult for the industry, but times like these are exactly where structurally strong systems begin to separate themselves from the rest. @mETHProtocol has demonstrated that distinction. 🧵My thoughts from April’s recap

In April, mETH strengthened its security practices and focused on institutional-grade ETH yield. From our Q1 Performance Report to weekly Buffer Pool updates and our review following the rsETH incident, check out the full overview below.

Good Morning CT Monday padel with the new mETH racket. 🎾 Pure power, no addiction (maybe a little). 100x energy. What’s your Monday looking like? Show me the gains

@Timmy_Turnes Looking good, Timmy! 👀

mETH maintained steady demand through Q1 2026. A look back at supply distribution ↓

@CeruonINJ @MantleIntern_ @emilyRioFreeman @Mantle_Official 👀

hours of dedication, days of staying up late, just to put real work into every detail. and this is the result, something worth mesmerizing. in the middle of it all, the @MantleIntern_, pitching something to boss @emilyRioFreeman. along the back, a @Mantle_Official sign breathing life into the room. let's not ignore the two solid figures, @MerchantMoe_xyz as the head of all DeFi-related affairs, and a representative of the community, a member of the Mantle Mavens. and let's not forget that colorful red figure within the left, @mETHProtocol, one of Mantle's best products. on the right side, a small detail, but a cameo of my previous art. and on the right, a small cameo from my past work, a quiet detail but it matters. different pieces of Mantle, that holds different roles, all coming together to make Mantle what it is.

@febarce_DeFi @0xLuisma @SlimOnShark Bullish on all of you

@0xLuisma @SlimOnShark @mETHProtocol Bullish on mETH

mETH is Ethereum liquid staking built for institutional scale. Slashing is the silent killer of ETH staking; validators get penalized for protocol violations, and yields disappear overnight. @mETHProtocol has had zero slashing incidents since launch. Zero. That's not luck. That's infrastructure; backed by world-class staking validators: @krakenfx, @BlockdaemonHQ, @a41_allforone & @P2Pvalidator A cleaner protocol means safer yields, stronger trust, and a healthier Ethereum ecosystem for everyone. Built for institutional scale, natively integrated on @Bybit_Official with deep institutional backing. if you want to see just how seriously they're taking it, this page says it all: → bybit.com/en/earn/meth-p… Want to get closer to the team, join community activities, and be part of what's being built?
