**Mantle Restaked Ether (cmETH)** is a liquid restaking token that serves as a 1:1 receipt for [mETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mantle-liquid-staking-protocol-meth) restaked across a portfolio of positions, including [EigenLayer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/eigenlayer), [Symbiotic](https://iq.wiki/wiki/symbiotic), [Karak](https://iq.wiki/wiki/karak), and associated Actively Validated Services. cmETH enables users to participate in the risk-reward profile of restaking while maintaining [liquidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/pol-protocol-owned-liquidity) and composability across multiple chains.

# Overview

cmETH is a value-accruing receipt token issued by the [mETH Protocol](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mantle-liquid-staking-protocol-meth) for liquid restaking. It represents [ETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) restaked across platforms like [EigenLayer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/eigenlayer), [Symbiotic](https://iq.wiki/wiki/symbiotic), [Karak](https://iq.wiki/wiki/karak), and associated Actively Validated Services (AVSs). It functions as a composable liquid restaking token and typically trades slightly above the price of [ETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) due to accumulated yields.

Using the [LayerZero](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layerzero) OFT standard, cmETH supports cross-chain transfers without [slippage](https://iq.wiki/wiki/slippage). It has no fixed supply cap, with total circulation depending on the amount of [ETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) restaked through the protocol. AVSs involved in the process are actively managed services, distinct from fully automated [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) mechanisms.

Within the [Mantle](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mantle-network) ecosystem, cmETH serves as a yield-generating asset that combines multiple sources of returns. These include [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) rewards from [Ethereum’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [proof-of-stake](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) system (via [mETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mantle-liquid-staking-protocol-meth)), restaking protocols like [EigenLayer](https://iq.wiki/wiki/eigenlayer), [Symbiotic](https://iq.wiki/wiki/symbiotic), and [Karak](https://iq.wiki/wiki/karak), as well as yields from Actively Validated Services (AVSs), [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) applications, and partner incentives.

Designed for integration across [Mantle’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mantle-network) [decentralized applications](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application), cmETH is positioned as a composable token within the ecosystem. It expands on the role of [mETH](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mantle-liquid-staking-protocol-meth) by offering additional restaking-based yield opportunities, making it a utility asset for users seeking diversified on-chain returns.
