Manta Network was created to overcome the limitations of existing blockchain solutions. The network comprises of two blockchain networks, both with a focus on zero-knowledge (ZK) applications. Manta Atlantic, the fastest ZK Layer 1 chain on Polkadot, was the first network launched. The ecosystem then expanded with the introduction of Manta Pacific, a modular Layer 2 platform that is driven by community involvement. The aim of the network is to empower users by providing a seamless and cost-effective environment for deploying ZK applications, which addresses the challenges faced by current solutions in terms of high gas costs and slow performance.
Manta Pacific is a unique Layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum for EVM-native ZK applications, offering a scalable and cost-effective gas-fee environment. It fills the void in a landscape where there was no dedicated home for such applications and places emphasis on user safety, making ZK applications the focal point of decentralized app experiences. Unlike traditional solutions, Manta Pacific provides the tooling necessary for easy development and deployment of ZK applications using Solidity.
Key Features:
● Programmable ZK as EVM-native L2: Manta Pacific introduces programmable zero-knowledge as an EVM-native Layer 2, enabling developers to leverage the power of ZK technology within a familiar Ethereum environment.
● Universal Circuits for Easy Development: Manta Pacific's Universal Circuits make ZK application development accessible using only Solidity, eliminating the need for developers to learn new languages. This user-friendly approach fosters a more inclusive developer community.
● Data Availability with Celestia: Leveraging Celestia for data availability and zkEVM for scalability, Manta Pacific achieves high scalability and low transaction fees. Celestia's modular data availability, based on 2D Reed-Solomon erasure coding and Namespaced Merkle Trees (NMTs), significantly reduces transaction costs for end-users.
● Developer-Friendly ZK Library: Universal Circuits 2.0 introduces a ZK library so developers can easily integrate ZK-enabled contracts into their existing Solidity smart contracts and dApps. This extends the usability of Manta Pacific's features across various chains and Web2 environments.
Complementing Manta Pacific, Manta Atlantic takes the lead as the fastest and most decentralized ZK Layer 1 chain designed to support modular on-chain compliance identities. It places a strong emphasis on the ZK compliance credential layer, facilitating real adoption and interoperability, allowing other projects to enjoy interoperable identities without delving into complex cryptographic work.
Key Features:
● zkAddress System: Manta Atlantic introduces the innovative zkAddress system, comprising a public account-based address system and a UTXO-based private address system. This system, known as zkAddress, shields information related to SBT minting, on-chain credentials, and off-chain identities. It is the first private address system that is reusable, independent, and auditable.
● Prove Key for Selective Credential Sharing: Enhancing user privacy, Manta Atlantic incorporates the Prove Key feature. Users can selectively share specific credentials of the zkAddress without revealing their entire ZK identity, ensuring a non-invasive compliance process.
To facilitate seamless interaction between Manta Pacific and Manta Atlantic, Manta Network introduces the cBridge cross-chain bridge powered by Celer. This bridge enables users to freely circulate assets, especially the native governance token of the Manta Network, MANTA, between both chains.
MANTA has a total supply of 1,000,000,000. The current circulating supply of MANTA is 251,000,000.
