What are Swell Network and SWELL/USDT?

Swell Network is a non-custodial staking platform dedicated to providing an exceptional liquid staking and restaking experience, streamlining access to DeFi, and enhancing the security of Ethereum and restaking services.

Through Swell L2, users can generate passive income by staking or restaking their ETH, earning both blockchain rewards and restaked AVS incentives. In return, they receive a yield-bearing liquid token (LST or LRT), which can be held or used within the broader DeFi ecosystem to unlock additional earning opportunities.

SWELL-USDT is the native governance token of Swell DAO, powering the development, growth, and maintenance of the Swell Protocol. Swell L2 is the leading Layer 2 restaking platform offering native liquid staking and restaking for Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Beyond governance, SWELL is integral to securing Swell L2’s infrastructure and decentralized applications through EigenLayer protocols. Holders can participate in governance, stake their tokens, and earn yield by converting them into rSWELL, the liquid restaking version of SWELL.
