mETH Protocol is an Ethereum liquid staking protocol, associated with the Mantle ecosystem, that issues mETH. Users stake ETH and receive mETH, a liquid token representing the staked position that continues to accrue rewards while staying usable in DeFi.
How mETH works
Deposit ETH and receive mETH, a value-accruing token designed to be redeemable for a growing amount of ETH over time as staking rewards accumulate. Because it is liquid, mETH can be moved or deployed across supported venues without unstaking first. The protocol sits within the wider Mantle ecosystem.

What the audit signal means
Our automated checks did not surface audit records for this entry, which lowers its score on that axis. That reflects what we could verify rather than a definitive claim that no reviews exist, so look for current audit reports on the official site before depositing.
The ecosystem tie-in
mETH's role is closely linked to the Mantle ecosystem, where it can serve as a base staked-ETH asset for other products and strategies. That connection can mean more places to use the token and coordinated incentives, but it also concentrates its relevance and much of its liquidity within one ecosystem, so the token's fortunes are partly bound to that ecosystem's health and activity. If you plan to hold mETH mainly to access Mantle-adjacent opportunities, factor in that its utility and exit liquidity may be strongest inside that environment rather than across the broader market.
Risks and fit
Beyond the audit-verification gap, mETH carries the usual LST risks: smart-contract vulnerabilities, oracle and validator/slashing exposure, and the possibility of trading below underlying value in stressed markets. It suits ETH holders active in the Mantle ecosystem who want a liquid staked token and are willing to verify security details themselves. Users who require independently confirmed audits up front, or who want liquidity that is not tied to a single ecosystem, should verify carefully before using it.
