cmETH is a liquid restaking token that represents staked ETH within Mantle Network’s ecosystem. Learn more about how you can mint cmETH on Bybit here.

Liquid staking has become an essential tool for ETH holders looking to earn passive income without sacrificing liquidity. But now, with 

 solutions like cmETH, users can go beyond traditional rewards by earning layered yields through protocols such as EigenLayer.

In this guide, we’ll walk through everything you need to know about cmETH, how it compares with mETH, what rewards to expect and how to mint it easily on Bybit’s On-Chain Earn platform — especially during the 30-day, limited-time bonus event running from Jun 10, 2025 through Jul 10, 2025 in partnership with Mantle Network and EigenLayer.

EigenLayer is a restaking protocol built on Ethereum that allows users to reuse their staked ETH (or liquid staking tokens, such as mETH, to secure additional networks and decentralized services called Actively Validated Services (AVS).

At its core, EigenLayer allows users to “restake” ETH or liquid staking tokens (LSTs) like mETH that are already staked for Ethereum's 

 (PoS) consensus. Instead of just earning base staking rewards, users can opt in to restake those same assets to support other decentralized services, including 

This creates a powerful shared security model, whereby multiple protocols can leverage Ethereum’s validator set without having to bootstrap their own trust networks from scratch. For users, it means earning additional incentives (often in the form of native tokens like EIGEN) — on top of their regular staking rewards — simply by opting in to restake.

EigenLayer is quickly becoming a foundational layer for Ethereum’s modular future, attracting widespread attention from both developers and stakers. As more AVS launch on EigenLayer, the opportunities for restakers continue to grow.

Following is a simple breakdown of how EigenLayer works.

Users who have staked ETH (either directly or via LSTs) can opt in to restake their assets on EigenLayer. This means they're extending the security of their stake to other networks, not just Ethereum.

AVS are services that tap into EigenLayer’s pooled security. These can include oracle networks, cross-chain bridges, data availability layers, rollup sequencers and more. Restakers delegate their stakes to operators running these services, thereby helping to secure operations.

Because restakers are now providing security to multiple protocols, misbehavior (e.g., downtime or dishonest validation) on any AVS can trigger slashing of restaked assets. This ensures accountability and maintains security across all layers.

When you mint cmETH on Bybit, your ETH or mETH is automatically routed through Mantle Network and restaked on EigenLayer. This gives you exposure to EigenLayer’s AVS ecosystem and allows you to earn dual rewards (Ethereum staking yield and bonus AVS incentives) in a single step, without needing to restake manually.

 is a liquid restaking token that represents staked ETH within the 

 ecosystem, enabling holders to earn rewards from 

 staking and additional restaking protocols, such as 

. It’s designed to provide users with a seamless staking experience, and combines the benefits of Ethereum's 

 (PoS) rewards with additional yields from restaking strategies.

While both cmETH and mETH are integral to the Mantle Network staking ecosystem, they serve distinct purposes:

In essence, cmETH offers a multi-layered yield approach, combining base staking rewards with additional incentives from restaking activities.

Staking cmETH presents several advantages for users seeking to maximize their ETH holdings:

During the limited-time bonus event running from Jun 10, 2025 through Jul 10, 2025, minting cmETH on Bybit will entitle users to:

Please note that only new deposits and staking actions made during the event window are eligible for bonus rewards. A 24-hour minimum holding snapshot is used to calculate eligibility. In addition, bonus rewards are only available for cmETH minted during the event window, and they require a 41-day holding period in order to qualify for full distribution.

How to earn additional interest rate bonus

When you mint cmETH during the event period (Jun 10, 2025 through Jul 10, 2025), the bonus interest is automatically applied. The total APR for cmETH is 3.43%, which includes both the base Ethereum staking yield and additional bonus yield from EigenLayer in the form of EIGEN or partner tokens. There’s no need to claim anything manually. Once your ETH or mETH is staked, your rewards start accumulating immediately.

Please note that the interest will stop accumulating once you initiate redemption, and your rewards will be finalized based on your average holdings over the 41-day lock-in period. These rewards will be unlocked and distributed automatically on the 41st day of the event.

While the event primarily focuses on staking bonuses, Bybit is also offering an additional referral perk when you send this article to a friend and invite them to participate in this limited-time event with your referral link. Upon successful referral, you’ll receive an additional airdrop of EIGEN or USDT, which will be unlocked on the 41st day of the event.

There are two ways you can mint cmETH on Bybit: either through ETH or mETH. To get started, you’ll first need to create a Bybit account, then fund it with cryptocurrency and obtain ETH or mETH, which can be purchased on the Bybit Spot trading platform. Once you have ETH or mETH in your Bybit account, you may proceed with the following steps.

: On the Bybit homepage, hover your cursor over the 

button. Alternatively, you can also enter 

in the search field to locate the token. 

: Input the amount of ETH you would like to stake, or the amount of cmETH you would like to receive. Confirm the details and click on 

Once you’ve successfully staked ETH for cmETH, you may head to the 

: Input the amount of cmETH you would like to exchange, or the ETH you would like to receive. Confirm the details and click on 

cmETH earns from Ethereum staking rewards via mETH, and additional yield through restaking on EigenLayer. During the event, users also receive bonus tokens, such as EIGEN and OWN.

You can redeem cmETH through the Bybit On-Chain Earn platform. Redemption takes T+9 days, after which your ETH or mETH will be returned to your account. However, if you redeem before the 41-day lock-in period ends, you will forfeit the pending bonus rewards (e.g., EIGEN airdrops).

Yes. Minting cmETH on Bybit is secure. The platform integrates restaking protocols like EigenLayer in a fully custodial environment, meaning Bybit handles the back-end staking and restaking processes on your behalf. Users retain full visibility over their funds, with real-time reward tracking, secure redemption and no need for manual delegation or validator setup.

The interest rate bonus is automatically applied upon successful minting of cmETH. Please note that the interest will no longer accumulate upon cmETH redemption.

Mint cmETH during the event period, or refer a friend using your link. Airdrops (EIGEN or USDT) will unlock on day 41 of the event.

Minting cmETH on Bybit is more than just another staking opportunity — it’s a gateway into the future of ETH restaking. With the Mantle x EigenLayer x Bybit collaboration, users receive access to dual rewards, event-exclusive bonuses and a seamless interface to track and grow their crypto holdings.

ao Computer brings hyper-parallel, decentralized computing to Arweave, transforming it from storage-only to a scalable, full-stack Web3 platform.

 (AR) is among the crypto industry's oldest and most prominent distributed storage projects. Offering a unique decentralized storage model called the blockweave, the project has been at the forefront of driving the crypto revolution over the past seven years. In early 2025, the Arweave project launched the mainnet of its decentralized computing system — ao Computer (AO). This signified the beginning of a new era for the veteran of 

 storage. With the launch of ao Computer, the project adds highly scalable computational capacity to its well-regarded storage platform. 

ao Computer features a hyper parallel processing function that allows it to handle numerous client requests while independent execution paths are running simultaneously. This creates opportunities for scalability at unprecedented levels. Using a unique system based on messages that go through processing by three key process units, ao Computer features an architectural design that’s no longer restricted by throughput capacity. In addition, messages are stored permanently and immutably on Arweave's famed storage platform. In essence, ao Computer has turned Arweave from a massive decentralized hard drive into a full-fledged processing environment. 

In this article, we'll examine this innovative project that has the potential to redefine the way businesses and individuals use Arweave.

 (AO) is a decentralized, trustless computing system based on the Arweave distributed storage platform that uses hyper parallel processing to achieve unprecedented scalability. 

The system processes all execution requests and data using standardized messages that interact with processes on the platform, creating an interconnected environment. The most critical innovation that ao Computer offers is hyper parallel processing, whereby all processes and interactions are handled independently and concurrently. Many software developers would call this mode of processing multi-threaded.

Using trust-minimized, decentralized parallel processing, ao Computer creates a computing environment in which scalability and capacity are no longer restrained. The messages that the protocol handles are stored on Arweave, which essentially acts as an immutable hard drive for the ao Computer’s processing engine.

Arweave itself is well-known in the blockchain industry for its unique and highly efficient distributed storage solution. All the data on Arweave is immutably stored in a decentralized fashion, with the network nodes incentivized to provide permanent storage. Unlike standard 

, in which each block is linked to the previous one, Arweave uses a linkage model called 

, which links each block to the previous one as well as to a random recall block to enable 

 (PoA) — a consensus mechanism that requires miners to prove they can access old data. In this way, the blockweave model makes decentralized data storage more affordable, scalable and secure.

Before the introduction of ao Computer, Arweave had been used mostly for passive storage, albeit cheap, permanent and highly secure. The arrival of ao Computer adds significant computational capacity to Arweave, potentially turning it into a hotspot for 

While Arweave is the overall platform’s hard drive, ao Computer is its operating system. By integrating ao Computer, Arweave essentially becomes a full-stack decentralized computing environment, in certain ways similar to a platform like the 

In fact, its interconnected web of processes and messages makes ao Computer a unified hyper-parallel computer capable of handling a huge number of client requests simultaneously.

While Arweave, launched back in 2018, is among the oldest decentralized networks in the crypto space, ao Computer is a recent innovation: the unified computing environment’s 

 debuted in February 2025. Both Arweave and ao Computer were founded by technology entrepreneur Sam Williams.

ao Computer’s overall architecture involves three main data processing units — the Messenger Unit (MU), Scheduler Unit (SU) and Compute Unit (CU) — working together to process user messages and return finalized results. The user (this could be an application, service or even an AI agent initiating some computing request) sends a message that’s passed to the MU, which then processes and forwards it to the SU. Then, the SU stores the messages on Arweave and schedules them for processing by the CU, which runs computations and provides the final output messages back to the MU. Finally, the MU delivers the output messages back to the user. The image below shows the overall architectural setup of this process.

Processes are ao Computer network modules that are responsible for processing messages of all kinds on the platform, including relevant messages from users and system-generated messages, with final results delivered back to the user. The key role of processes is to accept an input message and return a finalized result. ao processes maintain independence from each other, which enables them to execute tasks in a hyper-parallelized mode, offering ao extremely scalable computing power to its user community.

Messages are the primary data units on the ao Computer platform. They’re used by processes to execute user requests, pass data between processes and return results to users. Messages connect processes into a unified web, similar to the way in which hyperlinks on the internet connect websites.

Reproducible message logs stored on Arweave allow ao's node network participants to verify all transaction activity in a 

 data item format. Message processing based on the standardized format ensures that the messages are interoperable and can leverage existing 

MUs are the platform units responsible for accepting, routing and delivering messages. Processes create messages that are passed between different unit layers by MUs. In essence, MUs represent ao Computer's message-routing layer.

SUs ensure that messages are properly ordered and organized for further processing by appropriate computing units. While MUs are the platform's message-passing layer, SUs represent the message-ordering layer. SUs also store the messages and interaction logs on the Arweave network.

CUs are responsible for the actual computations needed to execute corresponding dynamic operations requested by messages. They provide the results of computations back to the MUs for final delivery to the client. The network's computing process status depends upon the work done by the CUs.

Parallel processing, a key feature of ao, offers extreme scalability. Processes involved in handling user requests are all executed in an independent, parallel way, creating a “hyper parallelized” system with scalability features akin to sophisticated Web 2.0 traditional computing environments. 

The parallel processing capacity of ao is starkly different from the typical single-threaded format of transaction execution used by 

ao Computer is based on a modular design in which each unit handles separate functions. Additionally, it features a high degree of composability, so that a different self-contained process may represent each function of the user app. For instance, a login module for a gaming app can be handled by one ao process, while another process may be responsible for in-game purchases. These processes can be customized or replaced, based on client requirements, making the entire process stack fully composable. 

To further improve the platform's modularity and customizability, ao has introduced the 

 protocol, which supports running ao processes via the standard and well-familiar HTTP messaging protocol. AO-Core also allows these processes to securely prove and verify each step of their state changes within HTTP messages.

, allows nodes to choose the devices they would like to run. Each device is essentially a modular blockchain service. As such, HyperBEAM and its underlying AO-Core protocol further boost the platform's modularity by allowing different nodes to flexibly offer separate services.

ao Computer integrates AI algorithms, including large language models (LLMs), that can execute their functions and output results based on decentralized, trustless computations. For instance, when a user app runs its predictive AI model by inputting some crypto price data and receives the corresponding financial value forecasts, the app's operator can be certain that all the data has been processed trustlessly by the ao network, ensuring privacy and security, preventing data breaches and ensuring the absence of interference from a centralized party.

To start using ao Computer as a developer, you'll need to 

, the operating system built on top of the protocol. Once aos is installed, you can run it by typing 

, a JavaScript/TypeScript library that lets you interact with ao from Node.js

Game developers should also consider two valuable tools integrated with the platform specifically for gaming apps — the Reality Protocol, which lets you create spatial worlds on ao, and the loomSDK, designed to let WebGL-based Unity applications interact with the Arweave chain through ao connect.

Non-technical blockchain users can explore ao Computer's growing collection of DApps from different niches, including 

. Examples of DeFi apps include a unified liquidity solution, 

 (DEX). One example of an AI-powered game is 

ao Computer's native token, AO, was launched in early 2024 through a 100% fair launch mechanism. AO's tokenomics features mirror some of 

's (BTC): maximum supply limitation of 21 million tokens, gradual release through a regular minting mechanism and emission halving every four years. Its fair launch mechanism allocates all 21 million AO tokens to the community contributing to ao Computer: 36% to Arweave (AR) token holders and 64% to users who bridge assets from other networks to AO. 

Although AO's tokenomics has a quadrennial 

 rule, emission halving doesn't occur all at once, as with Bitcoin. Instead, there's a gradual curve over which token releases decline smoothly. 

The AO token has several functions on the platform, including:

As of Jun 11, 2025, AO’s total supply (that is, all the tokens minted so far) stands at 4,183,207. According to the token’s release schedule, the entire supply of 21 million will be distributed by around August 2037.

You can buy the AO token on Bybit as a Spot pair with USDT (

As of Jun 12, 2025, the AO token was trading at $17.88, a 64.5% drop from its all-time high of $50.01 on Apr 7, 2025, and a 63.6% increase from its all-time low of $10.84 on Apr 16, 2025.

AO’s long-term price outlook is quite bullish. CoinCodex 

 at a high of $34.49 in 2027 and $75.74 in 2030, while CoinDataFlow is more conservative, 

 a maximum price of $12.74 in 2027 and $30.97 in 2030.

The ao Computer platform is among the most innovative 

 (DePIN) projects introduced in recent years. With its extremely scalable hyper parallel processing capacity and Arweave-based storage, ao Computer can challenge many centralized providers and competing web3 projects in this area. Because its modular design supports functional composability, the platform becomes a natural choice for DApps, blockchain services and AI agents that need to be flexible, adjustable and responsive to the constantly changing nature of the blockchain industry.

CUDIS is a web3 wearable and longevity project. Dive into how CUDIS works, find out more about the CUDIS token, and learn how you can start trading CUDIS on Bybit.

Most people dream of living longer and healthier lives and earning passive income without additional work. CUDIS aims to make both of these possible through its 

 longevity protocol. The project combines an AI-powered smart ring with a personalized coaching app and blockchain incentives to gamify wellness, which can pay off in more ways than one.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how CUDIS works, the recent launch of the CUDIS token, and how you can start trading CUDIS on Bybit now.

 is a web3 longevity platform that uses real biometric data to reward users for building better habits. Its 

 is to drive longevity research and make living beyond 140 years of age a reality for most people. 

 that continuously monitors vital signs, and a mobile app that turns those readings into actionable advice. CUDIS gives users full ownership of their data, while also enabling them to tokenize or sell it if they wish.

CUDIS was founded in 2023 by Edison Chen and Jack Chang. Chen is a UCLA alumnus and the CEO of the project, while Chang is a UC Berkeley graduate who handles product and operations. Together, they lead a Silicon Valley–style team with talents from top tech and sports companies like Google, Samsung and Nike, and major crypto companies, such as Binance and Solana.

The project’s innovative approach to health has also attracted investments from venture capitalists. In September 2024, the company raised $5 million in seed financing, led by venture capital firm Draper Associates, along with SkyBridge Capital, Penrose Tech, SNZ and Borderless Capital. 

 has four main pieces: a wearable ring, a companion app, a data network and a Longevity Hub. Let’s look at each of them in detail below.

 that’s packed with health sensors. It continuously tracks dozens of biological metrics, such as sleep quality, heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen level, body temperature, stress indicators and more. Users simply need to wear the ring day and night, and it passively logs all vital signs.

The ring’s data syncs to CUDIS’s mobile 

, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to turn raw biometrics into daily health advice. The app personalizes advice based on data history, helping the user gradually improve important habits such as sleep or exercise. Incidentally, the app isn’t limited to CUDIS ring users; it also allows users to import data from other devices, such as Apple Health, Garmin or Oura wearables. This expands both the platform’s ecosystem and the potential user base of the app. 

 is used to securely store and leverage all of this information. In the CUDIS model, each user receives a unique Longevity ID (LDID) that tags their data. This means that the users own their health data outright, and control who can access it. With this mechanism, the project aims to create a marketplace where aggregated and anonymized longevity data can be traded or analyzed, but only with the user’s permission. 

CUDIS also offers a community platform called the 

 that connects users with longevity science and wellness offerings. Through the hub, members get access to health programs, research partnerships and expert content on aging and well-being. 

In June 2025, CUDIS launched its native cryptocurrency, CUDIS, to power the incentive system. Users can earn CUDIS by accumulating “health points” in the app. Every time users log their sleep, exercise or other healthful habits, the system rewards them with points, which later convert into token airdrops.

CUDIS has set a fixed supply of 1 billion CUDIS tokens, allocated as follows:

Beyond rewards, CUDIS holders can also stake tokens in the app to boost their own health earnings and access higher-tier coaching modules. The token is also used as the payment currency within the CUDIS ecosystem, and users can spend CUDIS to buy premium health programs, advanced AI tools or certified longevity products. 

The CUDIS token is now available for trading on the Bybit Spot market.
