Meta Pool is a liquid staking protocol that allows NEAR token holders to stake their tokens and earn rewards without locking up their assets. Stakers receive stNEAR tokens which accrue staking rewards. stNEAR can be used to participate in DeFi protocols like liquidity pools without unstaking. Meta Pool aims to decentralize proof-of-stake protocols and increase adoption in emerging markets. It currently supports over 90 validator nodes and has over 9 million TVL on the NEAR blockchain.
