Wormhole now supports Mantle Network, an innovative Ethereum L2 solution that offers devs and users an exceptional on-chain experience, combining high performance with Ethereum's battle-tested security. With its modular architecture, low fees, and fast finality, Mantle is set to become a leading execution layer in the Ethereum ecosystem.
WHAT IS MANTLE NETWORK?
Mantle Network is an Ethereum Layer 2 solution with a unique modular architecture. It aims to provide a high-performance, low-cost EVM environment with strong security guarantees. To achieve this, Mantle Network uses optimistic rollup technology and a specialized data availability layer called Mantle DA, which is powered by EigenDA technology.
HOW DOES MANTLE WORK?
Mantle Network operates as a rollup, utilizing Ethereum validators and consensus protocols to validate transactions. Its modular architecture, however, separates execution (Mantle L2), consensus and settlement (Ethereum), and data availability (Mantle DA) into distinct layers.
EVM-Compatible Execution: The L2 execution layer handles transaction execution and ensures compatibility with existing Ethereum contracts or tools.
- Consensus and Settlement: These occur on Ethereum, ensuring that L2 state transitions are validated under the security guarantees of the Ethereum base layer.
- Scalable Data Availability: Mantle uses an independent DA module (Mantle DA), which reduces costs by more than 90% compared to having DA on Ethereum L1.
BENEFITS OF MANTLE NETWORK
Developers and users enjoy several key benefits on Mantle Network:
- EVM Compatibility: All existing Ethereum contracts and tools can operate on Mantle with minimal modifications, enabling a seamless migration for developers.
- High Performance: Mantle combines optimistic rollup technology with a dedicated data availability layer to deliver high throughput and low latency.
- Low Fees: Thanks to MantleDA, Mantle significantly reduces gas fees and overall transaction costs compared to Ethereum L1 or other L2s.
- Security: Mantle largely inherits Ethereum's security guarantees, ensuring that user funds on the network are protected at the highest possible level.
- Fast Finality: Users can customize transaction confirmation requirements to achieve near real-time confirmation latency with minimal security trade-offs.
HOW TO TRANSFER ASSETS TO OR FROM MANTLE NETWORK
If you have assets on any of Wormhole’s 30+ connected blockchains and want to bridge to or from Mantle, you can do so via Portal Bridge by following the steps below:
- Head to Portal Bridge.
- Connect your Wallet.
- Select Mantle as either the Source or Target chain for your transaction.
- Complete the transfer process.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR APP TO MANTLE NETWORK
If you are a builder who wants to enable token transfers to and from Mantle, you can do so in just three lines of code via Wormhole Connect. Connect allows developers to integrate wrapped and native token transfers directly into their application UIs, enabling seamless bridging across Wormhole’s 30+ connected blockchains, not just Mantle, secured by the Wormhole Guardians.
To start integrating Connect and enabling your application on Mantle, check out the NPM package to get started.
