what's High Growth ETH?
High Growth ETH (hgETH) is a DeFi protocol built on Ethereum designed to optimize ETH staking yields. It employs advanced strategies to enhance staking efficiency, security, and scalability, allowing users to earn higher rewards compared to traditional ETH staking. The protocol functions as a liquid staking derivative, where users deposit ETH to receive hgETH tokens that can be used in DeFi while still accruing staking rewards. It leverages cutting-edge technology for maximized returns within the Ethereum ecosystem.
