(2) Enter Mantle Yield Lab and Complete Layer3 Quests
Event Period:Nov. 26, 2024 1PM UTC - Dec. 24, 2024 1PM UTC
The 8 protocols that advance from the Community Vote will proceed to the Layer3 Quests, where users can complete quests on Layer3 and earn rewards. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
600K $MNT: The selected protocols will receive $MNT based on their Total Value Locked (TVL) and Daily Active Users (DAUs) throughout the campaign. As users interact with these DeFi protocols — whether by staking, trading, or completing other tasks — protocols will move up their respective leaderboards. The higher the protocol ranks, the larger the prize allocation it will receive to distribute to its users.
Please note that each protocol will set its own rules for the quests. Further details will be shared in due course, so keep an eye out for updates.
Lottery Tickets: Participants can increase their chances in the lottery by earning tickets through welcome tasks, one-time tasks, and recurring tasks. Stay tuned for updates on the Layer3 Quests, with more details to be released once the Community Vote concludes. For the latest DeFi Fest news, follow us on X/Twitter and check back on the blog regularly.
(Bonus) 320K $MNT Side Pool In addition to the 1 million $MNT prize pool, we're introducing a 320,000 $MNT side pool for protocols that don't reach the top 8 in the Community Vote. This side pool offers extra incentives for users who engage with these protocols, which remain an important part of Mantle's DeFi ecosystem. More information will be provided on this once the Community Vote phase comes to an end.
