Mantle Network
Mantle Network is one of Mantle's core innovation pillars — an Ethereum Layer 2 that is the foundation for our diverse range of products and applications, known for its modular design and as the first adopter of EigenLayer and EigenDA technology. With more than 250 dApps and projects integrated, almost half a million users transacting and 171M transactions recording on Mantle Network, Mantle Network is ready to take the step to combine the transformative power of blockchain with deep liquidity, sustainable yield offerings and enriched user experience.

Supercharge Your Experience With Next-Level Innovation
Mantle Network's new technical roadmap is centered around two critical upgrades slated for the first half of the year:
-
Mainnet Integration of EigenLayer's EigenDA, an upgrade from the EigenDA-powered Mantle DA
- Improvement to censorship resistance for data availability which will make data much more available — lesser risk for operator downtime to lead to Mantle Network downtime.
- Increased bandwidth advantage with a maximum throughput of 15MB/s on EigenDA, allowing Mantle Network to upgrade and scale without hitting data rate limits as usage grows exponentially.
- Over 157k mETH is used to secure EigenDA and ensuring that Mantle Network's data remains available and robust while gaining incremental yield from EigenLayer restaking. This synergy creates a flywheel effect for Mantle Network's security and delivers dominant yield returns for restaking.
-
Testnet Integration of Succinct’s SP1, a cutting-edge ZK proving system to achieve 168x speed improvement for institutional-grade bridging and settlement
- Fast Finality: Transactions are finalized in just one hour, enabling seamless withdrawals and improving user experience.
- EVM Equivalence: Full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode compatibility ensures developers can deploy existing smart contracts and tools without modifications.
- Cost Efficiency: Prover fees integrated into transaction costs eliminate additional financial burdens for rollup teams with minimal cost impact to users, as low as fractions of a cent per transaction.
- Multi-Chain Future: By aligning with Ethereum’s security ethos, SP1 supports cross-rollup interoperability, paving the way for interconnected ecosystems.
