What is MANTA

1. Project Introduction
Manta Network (MANTA) is a modular ecosystem designed for the next generation of dApps. It currently offers two networks: Manta Pacific and Manta Atlantic. Manta Pacific is a modular L2 ecosystem built on Ethereum, providing a scalable and low-gas environment for next-generation dApps, allowing applications to surpass the limitations of traditional EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) environments. Manta Atlantic, the fastest ZK L1 chain on Polkadot, brings programmable ZK-driven on-chain identity DIDs and credentials to Web3 through zkSBTs. As of August 2024, 256 projects have already been deployed in the Manta Network ecosystem.
Summary: Manta Network offers an unparalleled environment to meet the scalability demands of dApps. The ecosystem takes a modular approach to address the ever-changing needs of the dApp market, experiencing explosive growth over the past year.
2. Team & Investment Info
Manta Network was co-founded by Victor Ji and Kenny Li in 2020, as part of the founding team at p0xeidon Labs (p0xeidon.xyz). This team consists of top developers from around the world, with a mission to build Web3 privacy, believing that privacy is a fundamental right. They strive to create and deploy tools that make privacy widely accepted through zero-knowledge proofs.
