what's Meta Pool?
Meta Pool is a multichain liquid staking DAO that enables users to stake assets across networks like NEAR, Aurora, Ethereum, and Solana while maintaining liquidity through liquid staking tokens (LSTs) such as mpNEAR, mpSOL. Users deposit native tokens into Meta Pool's smart contracts, receiving LSTs in return that accrue staking rewards and can be used in DeFi protocols. The DAO governs parameters via mpDAO token, with mechanisms for buybacks, referrals, and integrations like SSV for distributed staking.

Hosts an AMA with Node Studio Cohort #1 on 2026-01-14 at 2 PM UTC featuring validators sharing insights on operating infrastructure on NEAR.
Representatives participated in an AI-Governed DAOs panel at EFDevcon's Governance Day, discussing transparency and accountability in decentralized decision-making alongside Ethereum Foundation, Arbitrum, and Sky Ecosystem.
Meta Pool onboards 64 new validators to support NEAR's sharded validation as the network scales.
Partnership with Dappnode announced to onboard 25 new validators for NEAR Protocol decentralization, making validator participation accessible without devops skills requirement.
Security exploit leads to $132K loss from attempted $27M hack; majority of funds recovered.
While attacker minted $27M in tokens, actual losses limited to $25K due to low liquidity. MEV bot removed 90 ETH liquidity pre-exploit.
Protocol suffers security exploit. Details pending.
Hackers steal $27M worth of mpETH tokens through smart contract exploitation
Critical vulnerability in staking contract allows unauthorized minting of mpETH tokens, with confirmed exploitation resulting in $47K loss.
