Mantle (MNT) is a Layer 2 technology stack that aims to scale Ethereum. It is a core product of the Mantle Ecosystem and strives to be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Mantle's unique modular architecture separates transaction execution, data availability, and transaction finality into individual modules, which allows for individual upgrades and the adoption of the latest innovations. Mantle Network is a DAO-spawned Layer 2, fostering a vision for the mass adoption of token-governed technologies. The native token, MNT, is used for paying gas fees, fostering the ecosystem, and community governance.

Mantle Network operates using a modular architecture that aims to enhance network performance at low fees and with faster finality. This architecture allows for the development of DApps with a user experience that relies on Ethereum's security. Mantle Network's architecture separates transaction execution, data availability, and transaction finality into modules. This means that each module can be individually upgraded to adopt the latest innovations. Mantle Network also features a network of partners and collaborators to support projects from conceptualization to infrastructure support and go-to-market strategies.

Mantle Network is designed to scale Ethereum, making it a tool for developers and users of the Ethereum blockchain. Its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine means that all contracts and tools that work on Ethereum can also work on Mantle Network with minimal modifications. This allows users to experiment with web3 apps, and developers can deploy smart contracts in an efficient, low-fee environment. The Mantle token (MNT) powers the Mantle Network as its native gas token and ecosystem growth token, and serves as the governance token of Mantle Governance.

Mantle Network is a DAO-governed and accelerated network, where key decisions are made via governance by MNT holders. There is no single founder of Mantle Network. Early key contributors to the initial proposal that introduced Mantle Network include jacobc.eth and Ben Zhou. The total supply of MNT is 3,172,988,154 tokens, with 51% in circulation and 49% allocated to Mantle Treasury. Mantle Network is a Layer 2 that has partnered with ETH restaking protocol EigenLayer for the data availability module. By adopting a rollup architecture, Mantle Network aims to be secured by Ethereum.
