Stake and defi on NEAR
You can stake NEAR on Mainnet with your wallet, or you can use it in DeFi to Stake or Yield Farm.

Here are some DeFi dApps where you can stake or farm:

▶️https://app.ref.finance/
▶️https://app.rose.fi/#/
▶️https://www.trisolaris.io/
▶️https://metapool.app/dapp/mainnet/meta/

If you're not familiar with DeFi, please educate yourself first and #DYOR. In that case I would recommend you to start with MetaPool, since they offer single stake option without Impermanent Loss.
69
Stake with Metapool

1. MetaPool (https://metapool.app/dapp/mainnet/meta/#) distributes the tokens proportionally to the validators, so no worries which validator to choose.
2. You still get ~11% APY on your $NEAR, and withdraw NEAR whenever you want without waiting (with fee).
3. On top of that you get MetaPools $META token payed out daily
4. You get stNear which can be used on other DeFi applications such as app.ref.finance : https://twitter.com/sanket_naikwadi/status/1445042381531746310
70
Stake NEAR wallet vs MetapoolYou can stake $Near and earn $Near back (~10.5% APY)
Guide -> https://t.me/cryptonear/154221

On Metapool you can liquid stake $NEAR and get $NEAR(~10.5% APY) + $META
{Liquid staking --> Instant Unstake by paying extra fees}
Guide--> https://www.producthunt.com/posts/meta-pool

What's $META? Here's the answer!
