About the Mitosis Expedition Campaign

Mitosis is a unified liquidity protocol that redefines cross-chain liquidity. Mitosis maximizes conventionally idle cross-chain assets’ utilization and yield potential by imbuing composability to its locked assets.

Liquid restaking tokens (LRT) have the potential to become the next-generation DeFi primitive. In the near future, LRTs must exist in hundreds, if not thousands, of modular rollups. Mitosis is the partner in LRT’s inevitable multi-chain transition.

The Mitosis Expedition campaign is where LRT’s cross-chain expansion begins. Mitosis partnered with the LRT market leader, EtherFi, to spearhead eETH’s multi-chain transition as Expedition’s first companion.

About Expedition Testnet

The Expedition Testnet campaign is a 7-day pre-mainnet program on the Sepolia and Cardona testnets.

More than 300,000 wallet addresses were pre-registered for Expedition Testnet. Check out our latest blog post for more information on Expedition.

Schedule

The Expedition Testnet will last only for 7 days. Participate early, earn Testnet MITO Points, and claim various Expedition Mainnet benefits.

Start: 15:00 UTC on March 8th
End: 15:00 UTC on March 15th

Epochs and Deposit Thresholds

The program has four stages called Epochs. Each Epoch (except for Epoch 4) has an eETH deposit limit. The next Epoch begins when the previous deposit threshold is reached.

Epoch 1: 32,768 eETH
Epoch 2: 65,536 eETH
Epoch 3: 160,000 eETH
Epoch 4: No cap

Network breakdown and respective Testnet MITO Point Boosts are as follows:

Testnet Benefits

1. Pre-register benefits

All pre-registered users start the campaign with an extra 0.4 Sepolia eETH. This is separate from the 0.5 eETH all Testnet participants can claim daily on the Expedition Testnet Faucet. All pre-registered users get this headstart with a higher eETH balance to participate.

Also, pre-registered users with EtherFi Loyalty Point balance over 10,000 receive a minimum of 1.41 Sepolia eETH. Registered wallets with higher Loyalty Point balances receive more eETH for Expedition Testnet.

2. General Testnet benefits

Expedition Testnet participants earn Testnet MITO Points by depositing eETH and holding miweETH. Participants can convert their Testnet MITO Points to Mainnet MITO Points. Accumulate your Mainnet MITO Points to gain eligibility for Mitosis governance token airdrops. The Mitosis team will announce the details of MITO Points use cases during the later stages of the Expedition Mainnet.

Expedition Testnet operates a 5-Tier system. Participants can rank up their Tiers by accumulating more Testnet MITO Points. Users with higher Testnet Tiers will be eligible for additional Testnet Tier Boosts during the Expedition Mainnet.

Bronze: None
Silver: 1.10x
Gold: 1.15x
Platinum: 1.30x
Diamond: 1.50x

Get Started

Expedition Testnet Faucet

You need two Sepolia tokens to participate in the campaign: ETH and eETH

Sepolia ETH
Sepolia eETH (0x0305ea0a4b43A12E3d130448E9b4711932231E83)

Deposit eETH into Mitosis to receive miweETH. Hold your miweETH to earn Testnet MITO Points. Sepolia ETH is required for gas fees.

Claim the tokens by following these instructions:

1. Sepolia ETH: Use any of the 3rd party faucets here:

2. Sepolia eETH: Use the Mitosis Expedition Testnet Faucet

If you have trouble using the Mitosis Faucet, use the Uniswap app on testnet to get Sepolia eETH.

Deposit

Deposit your eETH to start participating in the Expedition Testnet campaign.

How to deposit eETH:

Go to the “Deposit” page on the Expedition website
Connect wallet
Make sure your network is set to Sepolia
Choose the network to deposit and enter your desired amount
Click “Deposit”
Confirm your transaction to proceed
Import miweETH to your wallet
Confirm your miweETH balance and start earning MITO Points

Redeem

Redeem your miweETH anytime to burn miweETH and retrieve the underlying eETH.

How to redeem miweETH:

Go to the “Redeem” page on the Expedition website
Connect wallet
Choose the network to redeem and enter your desired amount
Click “Redeem”
Follow the network switching prompts on your wallet
Confirm your transaction to proceed
Confirm your retrieved eETH balance

Holding miweETH

During the Expedition Testnet, you can either hold your miweETH for Testnet MITO Points or Redeem it. While holding miweETH in any of the four networks earns you Testnet MITO Points, the three L2 networks have a higher Boost multiple than Ethereum. Additionally, each network will have different Epochs and Epoch Boosts based on respective TVL status. Make your own Expedition strategy to maximize your Boost multiple and Testnet MITO Point earnings.

You can’t directly move miweETH cross-chain at the moment. If you want to move your miweETH to another network, you have to redeem it, bridge it, and then deposit it to another network

Bridges: Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon zkEVM

The Mitosis team strongly recommends all Testnet Expedition participants refrain from using the canonical bridges to move miweETH itself. miweETHs bridged using L2 canonical bridges like Arbitrum Bridge will NOT be counted as eligible during the Expedition Testnet campaign.

Using the canonical bridges to transfer your miweETH cross-chain can result in issues including the following:

Losing the eligibility to earn MITO points as a miweETH holder
Cross-chain transaction costs (i.e., additional gas spent on using the canonical bridges)
Waiting for up to seven days for L2 -> Ethereum transfers

Advanced

Tiers

All Expedition Testnet participants are categorized into 5 Tiers based on the accumulated Testnet MITO Points. Higher Tiers provide more benefits like more Community Redistribution rewards and Expedition Mainnet privileges.

The following Tier-specific benefits will be provided based on your tier.

1. Better MITO Points conversion rate to Mainnet

2. Exclusive Boosts on Mainnet based on Testnet Tiers

3. Community Redistribution (CR) rewards

Here’s a summary of the Expedition Testnet Tier system:

Bronze: Bottom 30% in Total MITO Points balance
Silver: Top 70% in Total MITO Points balance
Gold: Top 30% in Total MITO Points balance
Platinum: Top 10% in Total MITO Points balance
Diamond: Top 2% in Total MITO Points balance

Boosts

You can expedite your Testnet MITO Point earnings by applying various Boosts:

Epoch Boost
Chain Boost
Holding Duration Boost
Bracket Boost
X Boost

Badges

Collect the 28 Expedition Testnet Badges to earn more Testnet MITO Points. Badges are divided into different categories as below:

Onboarding

Rules and Policies

Users can convert their Testnet MITO Points to Mainnet MITO Points when Expedition Mainnet launches
Testnet MITO Points are non-transferable. Users cannot trade or give/receive the Points with each other
Holding miweETH is required to earn Points. Redeeming miweETH deducts the Points balance for Community Redistribution (learn more about Community Redistribution)
The Mitosis team can nullify or deduct any Points earnings with objectively clear evidence of abusive or malicious actions
