In the newest session of Yield Talks on The Edge Podcast, we cover a new protocol on the rise, recently surpassing $50M TVL called Hourglass. Hourglass is a protocol helping to deepend committed liquidity to protocols such as ether.fi and Lombard through time-bound staking. We explore how Hourglass markets provide new leverage and liquidity for assets like eBTC, eETH, cmETH, and LBTC through Hourglass Boost, along with deeper liquidity for leveraged airdrop farmers thanks to Hourglass RFQ. If you're a Pendle degen, you're going to want to learn more about how Hourglass works.

Season 2 of Metamorphosis by Mantle is in full swing, get started restaking with cmETH and earn 3.56% APY, plus points with EigenLayer, Symbiotic, Karak, Veda, and COOK!

mETH Protocol

mETH Protocol (formerly known as Mantle LSP) is a permissionless, non-custodial ETH liquid staking protocol deployed on Ethereum L1 and governed by Mantle.
