Layer 2 network Mantle has staked 40,000 ether on staking protocol Lido after it passed a governance vote on treasury management earlier this month.

The staked ether (stETH) is worth around $66 million and will generate a yield of 4.1% APR at current rates.

The value of Mantle's treasury stands at over $3.2 billion, with the majority of that held in its native governance token (MNT), bitDAO (BIT) and stablecoins.

Following the recent governance vote, community members now have the right to decide strategies relating to Mantle's treasury. A maximum of 200,000 ether has been approved for staking, with 20% allocated to Lido.

Mantle's native token is currently trading at $0.43, after tumbling 29% in the past month in line with the wider crypto market downturn.

Mantle also recently rolled out its mainnet technology stack for scaling Ethereum to compete with the likes of Arbitrum and Optimism. The Mantle network has $37 million in total value locked (TVL) as it struggles to establish a foothold amongst its layer two peers.

An Incentives Committee would direct programmatic token emissions, focusing allocations on participants that secure AVSs and contribute to the EigenCloud ecosystem.

Wat u moet weten:

  • The Eigen Foundation has unveiled a governance proposal aimed at ushering in new incentives for its EIGEN token, shifting the protocol’s reward strategy to prioritize productive network activity and fee generation.
  • Under the plan, a newly formed Incentives Committee would manage token emissions, prioritizing participants who secure Actively Validated Services and expand the EigenCloud ecosystem.
  • The proposal includes a fee model that channels revenue from AVS rewards and EigenCloud services back to EIGEN holders, potentially creating deflationary pressure as the ecosystem grows.
