Mantle Network has fully integrated EigenDA, marking a significant leap forward in the evolution of modular blockchain infrastructure. As the first and largest Layer 2 (L2) network to adopt EigenDA, Mantle Network will unlock unprecedented scalability, censorship resistance, and security––reinforcing its commitment to high-performance, cost-efficient blockchain solutions.
This infrastructure enhancement comes at a pivotal moment in blockchain adoption, as institutional and enterprise use cases drive unprecedented demand for throughput capacity. With this integration, Mantle Network expands beyond its previous utilization of EigenDA-powered Mantle DA, to directly leverage EigenDA’s modular data availability architecture, ensuring sustainable growth and enterprise-grade throughput as blockchain adoption accelerates.
Redefining Data Availability for Modular Blockchain
The integration of EigenDA delivers:
- 20x Improvement in Censorship Resistance: Expands from 10 operators (Mantle DA) to over 200 operators securing data, significantly reducing the risk of downtime and increasing robustness.
- 234x Bandwidth Expansion for Scalable Growth: EigenDA enables 15MB/s throughput, far surpassing Ethereum’s 0.0625MB/s limit, ensuring Mantle Network can upgrade and scale seamlessly without hitting data bottlenecks.
- A Security-Yield Flywheel Strengthening the Modular Ecosystem: Over 163,020 mETH (~$335M USD) secures EigenDA, ensuring Mantle Network’s data remains highly available while unlocking yield opportunities through EigenLayer restaking. This deepens security while aligning economic incentives for long-term ecosystem growth.
Strengthening the Modular Blockchain Future
Sreeram Kannan, Founder of EigenLayer, commented on the significance of this integration: “Mantle Network’s adoption of EigenDA marks a new era in blockchain modularity. By scaling data availability without compromising security, we are laying the foundation for a high-performance, decentralized future where Ethereum’s modular stack can fully realize its potential. Mantle Network's implementation demonstrates how modular architecture can transform blockchain scalability while preserving Ethereum's security guarantees – establishing the blueprint for the next decade of web3 infrastructure.”
Joshua Cheong, Head of Product at Mantle Network, added: “Mantle Network is engineering the future of financial infrastructure through fundamental technological innovation. The integration of EigenDA is a critical milestone for Mantle Network as we scale towards becoming the leading modular L2, while maintaining the security principles that institutional participants demand. With vastly improved data availability, network resilience, and yield-driven economic synergy, we are establishing a new benchmark for Ethereum’s modular future.”
As blockchain networks demand higher scalability without sacrificing decentralization, Mantle Network’s integration with EigenDA ensures a robust foundation for exponential growth, reinforcing its role as the leading modular L2.
