Key reasons I'm bullish about @0xMantle and continue farming their ongoing $cmETH and $FBTC programs:
⊕ Two airdrops from Mantle are coming;
⊕ $3B treasury;
⊕ Impressive product traction & more.
Yield thesis ↓
Amidst over 40 competing Ethereum L2s, @0xMantle stands out with strategic products and partnerships, as well as the second-largest treasury in Web3.
Mantle's ecosystem now includes five tokens: MNT, mETH, FBTC, and the upcoming cmETH and COOK, each offering unique value.
Some highlights of their product traction:
• Since its launch in November 2023, Mantle's staked ETH ($mETH) has become the 5th largest LST with a TVL of $1.4B.
• @FBTC_official reached $125M one month after launch.
• Over 50% of the $MNT circulating supply is staked.
• Since Q4 2023, @0xMantle's TVL has grown by over 230%.
• $MNT holders consistently receive additional bonuses from the ecosystem, such as Eigenlayer points and $COOK allocations.
• Mantle has committed $5 million to boost SocialFi and gaming innovation on the network.
I've been holding MNT since the launch of the L2 and have never regretted being part of this community.
When L2s were just emerging, many airdrop farmers ignored @0xMantle as an L2 with a token. However, time has proven that this has never been an issue in generating value.
This summer, Mantle announced several new products:
$cmETH – a new restaking token. Ongoing discussions with ecosystem partners like @pendle_fi and @ethena_labs highlight the collaborative efforts to integrate cmETH.
$COOK – new the governance token for $mETH and $cmETH.
$FBTC – an omnichain Bitcoin asset pegged 1:1 to BTC, designed to be liquid and easily composable across blockchains like Ethereum, Mantle, and Solana.
It introduces yield enhancement strategies like Babylon Staking, providing more profitable ways to use Bitcoin assets.
One week ago, @FBTC_official announced the launch of its Sparkle Campaign that actually increases the capital efficiency of your Bitcoin positions with minimal risks.
If you buy and hold $FBTC in wallet, you get 1 Spark per 0.001 $FBTC daily. Use it in DeFi → 2 Sparks per day.
Various chain multipliers are available: 2x for Mantle, 1x for the Ethereum, and 1x for BNB Chain.
When used within the @babylonlabs_io ecosystem, it also accumulates Babylon points. Additionally, mETH/FBTC on @MerchantMoe_xyz earn users Powder in the $COOK campaign.
Both $COOK and $FBTC campaigns are excellent events to join, considering Mantle's influence in the space and proven track record of delivering top-grade products that are widely used beyond the ecosystem.
Don't underscore Mantle, anon!

Just sat through the most bullish Ethereum panel of the year - The Rise of Digital Asset Treasuries
Hosted by @PanteraCapital with CEOs of the three largest ETH treasuries:
→ Tom Lee, CIO and Portfolio Manager / Chairman @fundstrat / Bitmine
→ Joseph Lubin, CEO @Consensys
→ Sam Tabar, CEO @BitDigital_BTBT
Here are the 7 key takeaways that changed how I think about ETH ↓
1/ The legal fog has lifted
For years, Ethereum’s growth was held back because regulators wouldn’t clearly classify it. Developers hesitated, companies stayed quiet, and big money didn’t move in.
Now ETH is officially treated as a commodity. That uncertainty is gone. The door is wide open for builders and institutions.
2/ Ethereum gives treasuries more tools than Bitcoin
Bitcoin treasuries can only buy and hold. Ethereum treasuries can also stake for yield, use smart contracts, build on Layer 2s, and take part in DeFi.
If ETH and BTC had started on the same day, Ethereum might have been the dominant treasury asset from the beginning.
• Market Cap: $2.91T (-6.39%, lowest since $2.71T on Nov 11, 2024)
• ~$400B in market cap vanished
• $1.51B liquidated
• $BTC at $87,678 (-6.72%)
• Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index: 25
• ETH (-9.76%), SOL(-12.23%), XRP(-10.86%), DOGE(-10.28%)
Wtf is happening?
Key factors ↓
The crypto market is collapsing like a house of cards & no one’s sure why. Let’s connect the dots between experts, panic, and hidden catalysts.
1. Bybit Hack:
Many linked the market downturn to the Bybit hack on February 21, 2025, during which $1.46 billion in crypto assets were stolen—the largest crypto heist of all time.
Result: This might create a risk-off sentiment that prompted many traders and investors to panic sell.
Why it might not be: Bybit remains solvent, with reserves exceeding liabilities and bridge loans filling liquidity gaps.
2. Trump's Tariff Announcement:
On February 24, during a press conference, Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, shaking up markets and pushing investors away from risky assets like crypto.
Recently, @Spectral_Labs launched Spectral Syntax V2 beta, which allows anyone to create autonomous, community-owned AI agents.
I decided to give it a try and launched my own AI Agent, relying on research data.
Now, I have the answer to whether AI Agents are a big thing ↓
First, a disclaimer: please don't rush to purchase access to my AI Agent. It was created solely to test the functionality of Spectral Syntax V2.
I'm here to share my experience, not to shill my AI Agent (it's not very smart).
So now, with the disclaimer in place, let's move to the interesting part.
What is Spectral Syntax V2?
It's a platform for creating autonomous, community-owned AI agents. Unlike traditional logic-driven bots, these agents are self-organizing and operate independently, relying on humans solely to boost their productivity.
