mETH Protocol
AuditedVerifiedmETH Protocol is a permissionless Ethereum liquid staking and restaking platform built by the Mantle ecosystem. Stake ETH to receive mETH (value-accruing receipt token) or restake into cmETH for additional yield across EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Karak.

Score history
This rating is re-checked every month. A point is recorded for every check, so a flat line means we looked and nothing moved. Hover anywhere on the chart to see what moved that month, and by how much.
The Problem
Ethereum staking requires a 32 ETH minimum, validator operations expertise, and locked capital. Existing LSTs are dominated by Lido; users seeking diversification or higher restaking yields lack institutional-grade alternatives integrated with the Mantle / Bybit ecosystem.
The Solution
mETH Protocol pools ETH deposits, delegates to professional validators, and issues mETH — a value-accruing receipt token. Restake into cmETH for additional EigenLayer / Symbiotic / Karak AVS rewards. The Liquidity Buffer + Aave routing typically settles redemptions within ~24h.
Why it Matters
Tight integration with Mantle Network and Bybit, multi-Tier-1 audit coverage (Hexens, MixBytes, Quantstamp, BlockSec), 24h-target redemptions via the LiquidityBuffer + Aave Position Manager, and bundled liquid restaking through cmETH built on Veda's BoringVault.
