November Recap: My Month With Meta Pool

November was a powerful month filled with learning, educating, and supporting the Meta Pool ecosystem. I focused on simplifying DeFi for everyday users, helping people understand governance, and breaking down new features in clear, accessible ways.
Here’s a full recap of everything I worked on throughout the month :backhand_index_pointing_down:


:books: Workshops Hosted

:one: Buy & Lock Feature Workshop

I hosted a detailed workshop with Queen Debbie covering the new Buy & Lock feature.
We explored how users can now lock mpDAO, stablecoins (USDT & USDC), NEAR, and stNEAR to gain governance voting power and earn rewards.
The session helped many users understand how to participate more actively in Meta Pool’s decentralized governance.

:two: Staking & APY Breakdown Session

I hosted a session with other ambassadors explaining how staking works, how APY is generated, and why Meta Pool makes staking more accessible.
Many community members gained clarity on liquid staking, rewards mechanisms, and why Meta Pool simplifies DeFi for both beginners and advanced users.


:studio_microphone: X Spaces

Throughout November, I participated in multiple X Spaces focused on Meta Pool updates, education, and community support:

  • Simplifying DeFi With Meta Pool
    A conversation on making decentralized finance tools easy, safe, and beginner-friendly.

  • Weekly Meta Pool Ecosystem Updates
    Shared ongoing improvements, new governance proposals, and product insights.

  • Vote Renewal & Governance Education
    Helped users understand why renewing votes is important and how to maximize their governance rewards.

  • How Meta Pool & Liquid Staking Are Closing Africa’s Financial Access Gap
    Discussed how liquid staking expands opportunities and lowers barriers for users across the continent.


:thread: Educational Threads

I shared 8 detailed threads this month to help the community stay informed and confident while using Meta Pool:

:one: Full breakdown of the Buy & Lock feature (with a video guide)
:two: Announcement and context for Node Studio Program #2
:three: How Meta Pool simplifies DeFi: staking, liquid staking, accessibility
:four: Vote renewal reminder and why it’s important
:five: Weekly update explaining the mpDAO buyback program
:six: Easy one-click staking + multi-chain benefits explained
:seven: Guide on the House of Stake voting process
:eight: How to claim voting rewards once distributed

These threads helped users get comfortable with staking, governance, liquidity, and the expanding set of DeFi tools Meta Pool offers.


:chart_increasing: TVL Growth

November wasn’t just active — it was impactful.
The ecosystem saw a boost in Total Value Locked (TVL) as more staked, locked tokens, and participated in governance.
This growth reflects the community’s increasing trust and the platform’s constant improvements.


November was impactful and I’m proud to contribute by simplifying complex concepts, supporting users, and helping more people participate confidently in staking and governance.

Excited for everything we’ll build together in December! :rocket::purple_heart:
