According to official news, Mantle distributed 2,098,636.67 EIGEN in two phases as a reward for the community to adopt its Ethereum liquidity staking token mETH (staking another 100,000 mETH on EigenLayer through Mantle Treasury). In addition, additional EigenLayer points were also allocated to Pendle's USDe pool. These initiatives allow users to enjoy higher native returns in a wide range of protocols and maintain exposure to EIGEN, and even allow them to earn more EigenLayer points on average.
Eligible mETH holders will be able to claim EIGEN at 16:00 on October 1. There are three types of reward distribution:
-Phase 1 for eligible users who hold mETH on the Mantle network between February 9, 2024 and March 15, 2024: 1,077,480.69 EIGEN;
-Phase 2 for eligible users who hold mETH on the Mantle network between March 16, 2024 and September 25, 2024: 1,021,155.98 EIGEN;
-Eligible users who have USDe positions on Pendle through the Mantle network.
Please note that all claims will end on March 16, 2025. Any unclaimed EIGEN will be reallocated to the Mantle Treasury.
