Mantle

Mantle Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution built to enhance Ethereum's scalability and reduce transaction costs by leveraging an optimistic rollup design. It is fully EVM-compatible, allowing existing Ethereum smart contracts and developer tools to operate on Mantle with minimal changes. This compatibility simplifies migration and integration for developers familiar with Ethereum's environment. Mantle's modular architecture separates transaction execution, consensus, settlement, and data availability into distinct layers, improving flexibility and efficiency compared to traditional monolithic blockchains.

The network secures its state transitions through Ethereum validators, inheriting Ethereum's security guarantees while significantly lowering gas fees and increasing throughput. Mantle employs innovative data availability solutions, currently powered by EigenDA technology, which offers cost savings of over 90% compared to on-chain Ethereum data availability. This modular data availability approach also enhances accessibility and scalability for decentralized applications.

Mantle targets developers building decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and enterprise blockchain teams seeking scalable infrastructure. Node operators can contribute to network security by running nodes, while users benefit from faster and cheaper transactions with customizable confirmation latencies. Developers can get started quickly using Mantle's comprehensive documentation and deployment guides, which cover network architecture, transaction lifecycle, fee mechanisms, and governance. Mantle's design aims to support the next generation of mass-adopted dApps by providing a user-friendly and developer-centric environment.
