what's mantle network?
Mantle Network is a modular Layer 2 blockchain ecosystem built on Ethereum, designed to enhance scalability, security, and efficiency in the on-chain economy through innovative technologies like data availability sampling and zero-knowledge proofs. Its purpose is to serve as the "Liquidity Chain of the Future," driving capital efficiency by bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) with tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and seamless interoperability. Key features include the native MNT token for governance, staking, transaction fees, and ecosystem rewards; the Mantle LSP for liquid staking of ETH into mETH; and recent launches like UR, a Swiss-regulated crypto-first neobank targeting Asia with zero off-ramp fees, 5% APY on USDe via Ethena Labs, and Mastercard integration for multi-currency payments. Integrations with platforms like Bybit offer discounted MNT trading and fee payments, while partnerships with Succinct Labs and Lagrange enable faster withdrawals and cross-chain verifiable computations. Mantle emphasizes modular architecture to divide tasks among specialized nodes, boosting performance and adoption in DeFi, RWAs, and global payments.
