Bybit, recognized as the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange globally by trading volume, has launched a new yield initiative known as the mETH Boosted Yield Campaign. This campaign, which commenced on December 16, 2025, and will run until February 15, 2026, offers users a fixed bonus annual percentage rate (APR) of 3 percent on newly minted mETH through the Bybit On-Chain Earn platform. This initiative is executed in partnership with Mantle and the mETH Protocol, coinciding with the introduction of the upgraded mETH Buffer Pool.
The mETH Boosted Yield Campaign represents a notable enhancement in liquid staking services provided by Bybit. The newly upgraded Buffer Pool architecture aims to reduce redemption times to approximately 24 hours, allowing users to enjoy a quicker and more flexible Ethereum-native yield solution. This upgrade signifies a strategic move for Bybit in expanding its On-Chain Earn offerings.
During the campaign period, participants who stake their ETH to mint mETH via the Bybit platform will benefit from the fixed 3 percent Bonus APR, in addition to the standard staking APR. The campaign also emphasizes improved liquidity through the Buffer Pool mechanism, which is designed to shorten the redemption timeline significantly compared to the traditional Ethereum unstaking periods, which can often take days or even weeks.
mETH serves as the receipt token for ETH staked through the mETH Protocol, part of the Mantle Liquid Staking Program, and is designed to provide some of the highest sustainable staking yields available in the market. The upgraded Buffer Pool integrates a dynamic liquidity model, supported by Aave, facilitating near-instant withdrawals under normal liquidity conditions.
Users on the Bybit platform will enjoy increased liquidity access, exclusive yield incentives during the campaign, and the ability to utilize their mETH holdings as collateral within the Bybit Unified Trading Accounts. This allows eligible users to engage in trading while simultaneously earning staking rewards. Eligibility for the campaign is determined based on hourly balance snapshots, with the daily eligible mETH amount calculated from the lowest recorded balance within a 24-hour timeframe. Participation is open to Main Accounts and Subaccounts, including Funding and Trading Bot accounts, although certain uses of mETH, such as those borrowed within Crypto Loans or held in Copy Trading Pro Subaccounts, are not eligible for rewards. Bonus rewards will be distributed daily to users” Funding Accounts.
The mETH Boosted Yield Campaign illustrates Bybit”s commitment to enhancing capital efficiency and liquidity for Ethereum staking participants, while also expanding access to institutional-grade on-chain yield solutions through a centralized platform.
