MANTA

Manta Pacific is a Layer 2 network on Ethereum, built for EVM-compatible apps that use zero-knowledge technology. Developers can deploy familiar Ethereum smart contracts, and wallets connect as they do to other EVM chains. Manta Network describes itself as a modular ecosystem. The wider project started with a privacy focus and was originally built on Substrate for the Polkadot ecosystem.

The native token is MANTA. As an Ethereum Layer 2, Manta aims to keep transaction fees low compared with mainnet, though fee levels shift with network activity. DeFi TVL on the chain is about $2.9M at the time of writing, which makes it a small ecosystem. Different trackers count assets in different ways, so some individual listings show higher figures.

The dApp scene is mostly DeFi plumbing rather than flagship apps. Manta CeDeFi offers a yield product that mixes CeFi arbitrage with DeFi strategies. Quickswap V3, iZiSwap and firefly cover swaps and liquidity. LayerBank and Shoebill V2 handle lending, KiloEx offers perpetual futures, and APX Bridge and zkLink Nova connect liquidity to other networks. Some listings, such as ZeroLend, have wound down or been flagged, so check each project's status before using it.

Manta FAQs

What is Manta Pacific?

Manta Pacific is a Layer 2 network built on Ethereum. Its pitch is a modular design aimed at EVM-compatible apps that use zero-knowledge technology, with lower fees than Ethereum mainnet. Manta Network as a whole began with a focus on privacy.

Is Manta EVM-compatible?

Yes, it is described as EVM-compatible, so apps written for Ethereum can run there with limited changes. Wallets that support custom EVM networks can usually connect once the network is added. Always take the network details from official documentation.

What is the MANTA token used for?

MANTA is the native token of the Manta ecosystem. It is traded on exchanges and tied to the network's governance and ecosystem. Gas fees are a separate matter, so check which asset your wallet needs to pay for transactions before you bridge.

Which dApps can I use on Manta?

Our site lists 42 dApps for Manta. Ones that name Manta in their chain lists include Manta CeDeFi, Quickswap V3, LayerBank, iZiSwap, KiloEx, APX Bridge, zkLink Nova, Shoebill V2, Skate Fi, GullNetwork AMM and firefly. Many other listings are multi-chain or centralized services with only loose ties to the chain.

How much value is locked in Manta DeFi?

About $2.9M at the time of writing, which is small compared with the largest Ethereum rollups. Some listings show larger figures, such as Manta CeDeFi at about $26.8M, because trackers count assets differently. Large TVL numbers on multi-chain apps like LayerZero V2 are not Manta-specific.

Are there risks in using smaller chains like Manta?

Smaller chains carry extra risks, including thin liquidity, fewer audited apps, and projects that wind down. ZeroLend, for example, announced a permanent wind-down in February 2026. Check a protocol's status and audits, and only commit funds you can afford to lose.

How do I get funds onto Manta?

Most users bridge from Ethereum or another connected network using a cross-chain bridge. Bridges from APX Bridge and Stargate V2 exist in the wider ecosystem, but each supports different routes. Check that Manta is supported before sending funds, and test with a small amount first.

What is the largest dApp on Manta by TVL?
