Syrup Token (SYRUP) is the governance token for Maple Finance's ecosystem, which focuses on decentralized institutional lending. Launched on November 13, 2024, SYRUP replaced the previous MPL token at a conversion rate of 1 MPL to 100 SYRUP.
By holding and staking SYRUP, you can participate in the platform's governance and share in its growth. Staking SYRUP allows you to earn rewards, with an initial distribution of 5,000,000 SYRUP to stakers in the first 90 days, targeting an approximate 9% annual percentage yield (APY), assuming 25% of the circulating supply is staked.
SYRUP is integral to Maple's decentralized finance (DeFi) services, enabling users to access yields from overcollateralized loans to leading crypto-native institutions. This structure provides a transparent and efficient lending environment within the DeFi sector.
