Manta Network

Manta Network is the multi-modular ecosystem for zero-knowledge(ZK) Applications. Having two networks; Manta Pacific and Manta Atlantic, it aims to deliver an unparalleled experience for the next generation of web3 application development and adoption with the applied usage of zero-knowledge cryptography.
[1]

History

Manta Network was founded in 2020 by 2 Co-founders, Victor Ji and Shumo Chu with Kenny Li as the COO and co-founder too. They had the aim to improve privacy among existing DeFi solutions.
The company raised their first funding of $1.1M from 10 investors(eg:polychain) in Feb 2, 2021. Four more funding rounds were conducted by 30 investors reaching the net amount of $60.4M.
Manta Network started its Manta Pacific Testnet on July 19th, 2023 [2]and officially went on mainnet in 12th September, 2023.

Overview

Manta Network is the multi-modular ecosystem for zero-knowledge(ZK) Applications. It platform offers a software development kit and ZK library that are touted to provide plug-and-play functionality for developers.
Manta Network was created by a team of experienced founders from prestigious institutions, including Harvard, MIT, and Algorand. Manta Network has received investments from many top web3 investment funds, including Binance Labs and Polychain Capital.
Utilizing its two networks: Manta Pacific and Manta Atlantic, it’s on the move to bring the next generation of web3 users and usher in a new chapter of web3 zkApp applications.
Kenny Li, the co-founder of Manta Network said this about zk:

This is crucial when zero-knowledge is involved, whereby developers do not have to worry about the infrastructure, as the complexity of cryptography can be abstracted away.”

Manta Pacific

This is a layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum with high compatibility with zkEVM, similar to Scroll or Polygon zkEVM. In addition, Manta Pacific integrates Celestia’s Data Availability infrastructure, expanding the network’s data storage capabilities.
Manta Pacific takes all of the work that the Manta team has already built on ZK and applies it directly into a scalable EVM environment specifically designed for deploying ZK applications through the help of Celestia and the zkEVM. [3]

Features:
• Manta Pacific offers programmable ZK as an EVM-native L2.
• Manta’s Universal Circuits enable easy ZK application development using only Solidity.
• Leveraging Celestia for data availability and the zkEVM for scalability, Manta Pacific provides high scalability and low transaction fees for ZK applications.

Advantages:
• Developer friendly: offers a ZK library for developers to easily call ZK-enabled contracts for their existing Solidity smart contracts and dApps.
• Non-invasive Compliance: uses zkSBTs like Galxe without exposing any details.
• Modularity for Lower Gas Fees and High Scalability: uses Celestia as the DA layer, to reduce transaction costs.

Manta Atlantic

This is a layer 1 blockchain belonging to the Polkadot system. Manta Pacific aims to create an anonymous blockchain with multi-chain interoperability and high throughput, using zk-SNARK technology.
It is the fastest and most decentralized ZK Layer1 supporting modular on-chain compliance identities. This simplifies identity for other projects by building a ZK-powered, interoperable compliance credential layer.
Using a public account based address system and an UTXO based private address system, called zkAddress; which provide shielded information like SBT minting, onchain credentials, offchain identities without leaking zk identity.[4]

Manta Token

$MANTA is the native token of Manta Network. It has a total supply of 1B launched on Manta Pacific chain and a derivative from BSC.
Utilities:
• Voting: Token holders vote on decisions made on Manta Network.
• Staking: This earn you rewards and secure Manta Atlantic.
• Collator power: Delegate or run your own collator.
• Fees: Manta Atlantic uses $MANTA to pay transaction fees.
• Liquidity & collateral: $MANTA can be used as both native liquidity and collateral.

Token Allocation:

Manta Network raised a total of $60.4M in funding of about 5 rounds with investors like: Qiming Venture Partners, SevenX Ventures, Polychain, CoinFund, ParaFi Capital, Binance Labs and others.
[5]
Distribution of $MANTA
• Airdrop — 5.60%
• New Paradigm (Airdrop 2) — 6.5%
• Binance Launchpool — 3.00%

Manta Network Infrastructure **

MantaPay: MantaPay is a decentralized mobile payment service that enables users to make and receive payments quickly and securely. It uses a BYOT (Bring your own token) concept, which allows users to privatize and trade with many cryptocurrencies.
Subscan: Subscan is a high-precision Web3 explorer for browsing blockchain data from Substrate-based networks such as Manta Network.
SocialFi(AsMatch): AsMatch is the world’s first astrology-based Web3 socialfi matching app built for mobile. AsMatch is an innovative Web3 mobile app that combines AI-generated content (AIGC), zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and zkSBTs powered by Manta Network, and a match-to-earn model with token incentives on BNB Chain.
