Build dApps with exceptional UX, all while relying on Ethereum's unrivaled security, with our high-performance Ethereum layer-2 network built with modular architecture.
Mantle is an Ethereum Layer 2 mainnet that combines an optimistic rollup execution layer with a modular data-availability layer (EigenDA/Mantle DA) and uses MNT as the native gas. It powers low-cost DeFi, gaming, SocialFi, and high-frequency payments/NFT mints, with typical transfer fees under $0.01, ~2-second block times, and practical throughput in the hundreds of TPS, supporting millions of monthly transactions.
Mantle’s modular DA via EigenDA lowers calldata costs compared to L2s that post data directly to Ethereum, enabling consistently cheaper transactions at scale while retaining full EVM-equivalent compatibility via the OP Stack. In practice this delivers ~2s blocks, sub-$0.01 transfers, and hundreds of TPS (versus Ethereum’s ~12s blocks and multi-dollar fees), with withdrawals secured by Ethereum under the standard ~7-day optimistic challenge period.
Mantle uses MNT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain MNT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge MNT to Mantle, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Mantle as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Mantle 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 Mantle 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 MNT on Mantle, ensure your wallet is connected to the Mantle network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of MNT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
