Mantle: The Ethereum L2 for Top Native Yields

1 hour 4 minutes

Jordi Alexander is the Chief Alchemist at Mantle and Chief Investment Officer at Selini Capital.

In this episode, we explore Mantle, the Ethereum L2 designed for top native yields. Mantle is self-described as a product-centric L2, less focused on scaling tech and more on building and hosting the best DeFi and Web3 apps. Jordi reveals all sorts of alpha including how to play the upcoming airdrop season on Mantle, how to master their native yield products such as mETH, and how Mantle is using it's massive multibillion-dollar ETH treasury to grow.
