A modular Ethereum Layer 2 leveraging Celestia data availability to deliver low-cost, EVM-compatible infrastructure for zero-knowledge applications and privacy-preserving onchain experiences.
Manta Pacific is an Ethereum Layer-2 mainnet (EVM-compatible) that uses ETH as its native gas and is built on the OP Stack with Celestia data availability to minimize fees for zk-enabled dApps. Typical transaction costs are under $0.01, block time is ~2 seconds, and real-world throughput is ~10–40 TPS with peaks over 100 TPS; during peak periods it has processed 1M+ daily transactions. Primary use cases include low-cost DeFi, on-chain identity/credentials and privacy-preserving applications, plus gaming and SocialFi.
Manta Pacific is unique for combining OP Stack execution with modular Celestia DA, delivering sub-cent fees while inheriting Ethereum security and keeping ETH-native gas—often cheaper than L2s that post data directly to Ethereum. It ships zk-focused tooling (e.g., zk credentials and proof primitives) so teams can add privacy to EVM apps without operating bespoke proving infrastructure. With ~2s blocks and tens of TPS capacity, it provides Base/Optimism-like latency but cost-optimized throughput for high-activity, zk-centric applications.
Manta Pacific uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to Manta Pacific, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Manta Pacific as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Manta Pacific you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Manta Pacific to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ETH on Manta Pacific, ensure your wallet is connected to the Manta Pacific network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
