Why the project matters

What it does
COOK is a governance token within the Mantle ecosystem, designed to empower users in decision-making processes related to the Mantle Liquid Staking Protocol (LSP). Here's an overview of the COOK token and its role in the Mantle ecosystem: Key Features: Governance Role: COOK token holders have voting rights on key proposals, including protocol upgrades, tokenomics changes, and resource allocation within the Mantle ecosystem. Decentralized Governance: COOK ensures that the Mantle ecosystem remains decentralized by giving a broad community of token holders a say in its development and strategic decisions. Yield Opportunities: COOK unlocks various yield-generating opportunities, incentives, and airdrops, making it a central component in maximizing returns within the Mantle ecosystem. Token Details: Total Supply: Five billion COOK tokens will be created, with an initial circulating supply of approximately 916 million tokens. Airdrop Program: A portion of the tokens is allocated for airdrops, including 750 million tokens distributed across four ecosystem initiatives.

Task checklist

  • Check the official website and X account before taking any action.
  • For staking, deposits, lending, or liquidity actions, size positions conservatively and track wallet risk.
  • Complete official quests or points campaigns and keep activity consistent rather than one-off.
  • Avoid unofficial claim links, copied forms, and DMs; use only official domains/social links.

How do I claim $COOK rewards?

After users migrate to V2, they will be able to claim $COOK after TGE.

The primary goal of the Metamorphosis campaign is to earn the $COOK airdrop. There are two strategies to earn the airdrop, ranging from easy (simple staking) to complex (yield farming on L2 DApps). Here's a step-by-step guide.

Strategy 1: Staking $MNT Tokens [Level: ☆☆☆★★]

$MNT is the native token of the Mantle network. This method is straightforward, especially if you have limited experience in DeFi.

  1. Acquiring $MNT Tokens:

    • Withdraw $MNT tokens from platforms like Bybit directly into your MetaMask wallet.
    • Make sure to switch the network settings to Mantle Network.

  2. Locking $MNT Tokens:

    • Go to Mantle Rewards Station
    • Choose a lock period based on your preference. You then have the option to either lock your tokens for a specified period or go for a flexible lock. Longer lock periods can yield higher rewards.
    • Confirm the lock, and you should see an increase in your Mantle Power (MP).
    • For example, locking 10,000 $MNT tokens can boost your Mantle Power (MP), which in turn increases your $COOK distribution.

  3. Monitor Your Rewards:

    • Check your Layer 2 holdings and daily powder rewards.
    • Use the Housing Earn page to see additional campaigns that offer higher multipliers.

Strategy 2: Yield farming with $mETH Tokens [Level: ☆★★★★]

$mETH is a liquid staking token for Ethereum on Mantle. This is recommended to $ETH holders, as it allows you to double-stake and accumulate multiple types of rewards.

  1. Convert $ETH to $mETH:

    • Switch your network to Ethereum.
    • Stake Ethereum to get METH tokens. You'll notice a small discrepancy due to pre-included rewards.

  2. Bridge $mETH to Mantle Network:

    • Use the bridge function to transfer $mETH from $ETH to Mantle Network. This incurs some fees, so plan accordingly.

  3. Monitor Your Holdings:

    • Check your Layer 2 holdings and daily powder rewards.
    • Use the Housing Earn page to see additional campaigns that offer higher multipliers.
    • The earlier you get into the campaign, the more benefits you can accumulate over time. If you're looking to maximize your "powder" rewards, pay attention to campaigns with higher multipliers but weigh the risks of impermanent loss.

Conclusion

The Metamorphosis campaign offers an exciting opportunity for crypto enthusiasts to earn significant rewards through strategic staking and locking of tokens. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed guides to ensure you don't miss out on any part of this lucrative airdrop event.

Editorial guidance

How to improve eligibility

Research Refresh: Maximization Notes (2026-06-16)

  • Prioritize official, repeatable activities that are visible on-chain or in the project dashboard.
  • Keep one consistent wallet history for this ecosystem unless the project explicitly supports account linking.
  • Document completed quests, points, campaign IDs, and wallet addresses for later checker/claim windows.
  • Do not chase high-cost volume unless the project has a clear, credible incentive program.

Scoring Recalibration (2026-06-16)

  • Score recalibrated with stricter evidence gates: direct airdrop/points/claim evidence, actionable path, current official signals, expected upside, effort/cost, and stale-evidence penalties.
  • Generic project strength, funding, or broad activity no longer qualifies for S/A without direct opportunity evidence.
Editorial judgment

Scoring notes

mETH Protocol is a legitimate Mantle-ecosystem ETH liquid staking/restaking protocol with $393M TVL (CoinGecko) and extensive audit coverage (Hexens, Quantstamp, etc., $5.2M+ invested). However, the COOK governance token already launched Nov 2024 and trades at $0.002684 — down ~94% from ATH of $0.04531, indicating poor post-launch price performance. The official site mentions no active airdrop; mETH and cmETH are LST receipt tokens, not governance. DB funding figure of $200M appears inflated — no public $200M raise verified; project is Mantle-aligned with backers like Karak/Blockdaemon/P2P. No team doxx verified. Sources: methprotocol.xyz, coingecko.com/en/coins/meth-protocol. Confidence: medium.

[Archive decision: ARCHIVED. COOK token already launched (Nov 2024) and trades on MEXC/Bybit/Mantle DEXs; no active claim window or new-user airdrop action available per official site.]

Questions

Is the mETH Protocol airdrop confirmed?

This remains speculative unless the project has made an explicit official allocation, checker, or claim announcement. Treat participation as potential eligibility farming, not guaranteed rewards.
