Meta Pool

Meta Pool is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol focused on Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs). Initially launched on the NEAR Protocol, it has expanded to include other blockchains like Ethereum. Its core mission is to solve the capital inefficiency of traditional Proof-of-Stake (PoS) staking, where assets are typically locked and illiquid. By staking native tokens (e.g., NEAR, ETH) through Meta Pool, users receive a liquid token equivalent (e.g., stNEAR, mpETH) that represents their staked position. This liquid token continues to accrue staking rewards but can also be used across the DeFi ecosystem for activities like lending, borrowing, or providing liquidity, thereby maximizing capital efficiency. The protocol is governed by the Meta Pool DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) through its governance token, $META.
