Mantle Network (MNT) is an EVM-compatible Масштабируемая сеть Ethereum within the Mantle ecosystem, which evolved from BitDAO. Its mainnet launched in July 2023. Although it began with an optimistic design, Mantle later adopted OP Succinct ZK validity proofs.
The Arsia upgrade moved data availability to Ethereum, so descriptions of its current mainnet as an EigenDA-based optimistic rollup are outdated. MNT is used for network gas and governance; BIT holders migrated to MNT at a 1:1 ratio. Mantle also supports ecosystem investment and the separate mETH liquid-staking protocol.
Treasury resources and partnerships do not guarantee adoption, returns, or security. (Source: Mantle network documentation)

|---|---|
| 2021 | BitDAO launches with support from Bybit and other contributors |
| 2022 | BitDAO treasury grows to $3B+; governance by BIT holders |
| 2023 | BitDAO rebrands to Mantle; BIT → MNT token swap |
| июль 2023 | Mantle Network mainnet launches |
| 2023 | $200M Mantle Ecosystem Fund announced |
| 2023 | mETH (Mantle LSP) launches for ETH liquid staking |
| 2024 | Mantle v2 Tectonic introduces OP Stack Bedrock-based changes |
| 2025-2026 | OP Succinct introduces Доказательства действительности ZK; Arsia moves data availability to Ethereum |
Как это работает
Current Mantle architecture: OP Stack-based execution works with OP Succinct validity proofs and Ethereum data availability following the Arsia upgrade. Withdrawal timing and security also depend on verification, upgrade, and operational controls.
| Характеристика | Описание |
|---|---|
| OP Succinct | OP Stack-derived execution with ZK validity proofs |
| Доступность данных | Arsia uses Ethereum data availability; EigenDA describes an earlier design |
| Токен MNT | жетон газа for Mantle Network; governance |
| Mantle Ecosystem Fund | A USD 200 million investment initiative announced in 2023, not a fixed grant entitlement |
| мет | Mantle Liquid Staking Protocol; liquid staking for ETH |
| Bybit Integration | Strategic relationship with Bybit; exchange rankings and user counts change |
| Сокровищница мантии | BitDAO heritage; significant crypto assets under governance |
| Совместимость с EVM | Full Ethereum tooling support; MetaMask, Hardhat |
Простыми словами
- Экозиstem relationship: Bybit has supported the Mantle ecosystem, but Mantle and the exchange are distinct. A partnership does not guarantee that exchange customers will use the network.
- Текущий architecture: Mantle uses validity proofs for state verification, while the Arsia upgrade uses Ethereum for data availability. Earlier EigenDA descriptions should be read as historical. (Source: Mantle deployment analysis)
- Ecosystem funding: Mantle announced a USD 200 million EcoFund initiative. Investment decisions and available capital depend on governance and programme terms.
- mETH liquid staking: mETH represents a claim associated with ETH staked through mETH Protocol. It carries smart-contract, validator, liquidity, and redemption risks; it is separate from the MNT gas token.
- Shared tooling: OP Stack ancestry supports familiar development tools, but does not automatically make Mantle a Superchain member or guarantee interoperability. (Source: Ethereum bridge design)
Примеры из реального мира
| Сценарий | Реализация | Результат |
|---|---|---|
| DEX on Mantle | Agni Finance (Uniswap V3-style) launches on Mantle | Users trade through a Mantle-based DEX; liquidity and incentives vary |
| Ликвидный стейкинг ETH | User deposits ETH → receives mETH | Staking rewards and any additional incentives vary; yields are not guaranteed |
| Грант разработчика | A project seeks ecosystem investment or support | Eligibility, award size, and terms depend on the programme; there is no standard USD 500,000–2 million grant |
| Интеграция Bybit | Bybit connects trading to Mantle DeFi | Exchange users access DeFi yield from their trading platform |
Преимущества
| Преимущества | XNUMX |
|---|---|
| Large ecosystem fund | Ecosystem investment can support development; funding does not ensure project quality |
| Bybit partnership | Potential distribution through Bybit’s services, subject to availability and eligibility |
| Модульная конструкция | Separates execution, proofs, and data availability; current costs depend on network conditions |
| OP Stack compatibility | Familiar developer tooling; interoperability must be evaluated separately |
| Институциональная поддержка | Treasury governance; serious capital behind ecosystem |
Недостатки и риски
| Снижение | XNUMX |
|---|---|
| централизация | Bybit relationship creates centralisation concern |
| Инфраструктурные зависимости | Sequencer, prover, bridge, and upgrade-control risks remain |
| Размер экосистемы | Compare dated usage and liquidity data; relative ecosystem sizes change |
| MNT concentration | Large treasury holdings concentrated; governance risk |
| Конкурентность | Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism have head start |
| Proof and Upgrade Risk | Validity-proof implementation and privileged upgrades are important security assumptions |
Советы по управлению рисками:
- Verify mETH smart contract audits before large deposits
- Monitor current network notices and bridge documentation rather than relying on historical EigenDA descriptions.
- Check the live bridge’s withdrawal and finality requirements; the old seven-day optimistic-rollup description is not a universal current rule.
FAQ
В: Какова взаимосвязь между Mantle и Bybit?
A: Bybit has been a major supporter of BitDAO and the Mantle ecosystem. The entities are distinct, and specific contributions and integrations should be checked against dated announcements; support does not imply a guarantee of assets or returns.
Q: What is the difference between Mantle and Base?
A: Both have OP Stack ancestry, but Mantle has adopted OP Succinct validity proofs and moved to Ethereum data availability under Arsia. Compare current proof, sequencer, bridge, governance, and fee arrangements rather than relying on the older “EigenDA versus Ethereum” distinction.
В: Что такое метамфетамин?
A: mETH is a liquid-staking receipt token from mETH Protocol for staked ETH. Its value reflects protocol mechanics and staking performance, and using it in DeFi adds further risks. It is not the MNT token and does not mean ETH is validated by Mantle’s sequencer.
Q: Does Mantle still use EigenDA?
A: EigenDA was part of Mantle’s earlier data-availability design. Arsia moved the mainnet to Ethereum data availability. Use current network upgrade documentation when assessing fees and security.
Q: Is Mantle part of the OP Superchain?
A: Mantle uses OP Stack technology but is not officially part of Optimism’s Superchain (which requires revenue sharing and specific governance participation). Mantle operates independently, though future Superchain integration is possible.
Заключение
Mantle Network (MNT) has changed since its original launch architecture. Assess current proof verification, data availability, withdrawal rules, and upgrade controls when evaluating its benefits and risks.
