1. ENKI
ENKI Protocol is a leading liquid staking solution built on the Metis decentralised sequencer, offering users an accessible and efficient way to earn rewards from sequencer nodes. By staking with ENKI, users can keep their Metis tokens liquid, allowing them to be used across various DeFi applications on Metis to maximize returns. ENKI lowers the barriers to node participation by eliminating the high technical requirements and large token thresholds (20,000 Metis) needed for node operation. The protocol democratizes access to sequencer rewards, enabling flexible staking amounts while utilizing eMetis and seMetis tokens to enhance liquidity and functionality within the broader DeFi ecosystem. ENKI simplifies staking and promotes ecosystem engagement, driving growth and accessibility for users of all levels.

The DA layer guarantees permanent, secure, and transparent access to transaction records, fostering trust and authenticity. Additionally, BeraRoot employs fair MEV optimization algorithms to reduce transaction biases, promoting a more equitable trading environment for users. As Berachain's first Data Availability and MEV service, BeraRoot sets a new standard for blockchain transparency and fairness.
