From a bold idea to a thriving blockchain ecosystem, Mantle has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in the decentralized world since its launch in 2022 to stay ahead of the curve and bring the best of blockchain innovations to the community.
Born out of a vision to accelerate the mass adoption of governed technologies, Mantle is now a burgeoning on-chain ecosystem that has not only achieved groundbreaking advancements in modular architecture with EigenDA technology through Mantle Network, but also built mETH Protocol, contributed to Ignition FBTC, onboarded industry-leading yield assets, worked with the best of projects and so much more.
Fast forward to 2025, Mantle is ready to embark on a new chapter — to become the largest sustainable hub for on-chain finance and redefining the future of the on-chain economy, all to support banking for the next generation.
We leverage the transformative power of blockchain, cutting-edge innovation and collaboration to achieve this, evident in the growth of our core products Mantle Network, mETH Protocol and Ignition FBTC.
Anchored by the Mantle Treasury with more than $4B in assets, the largest community-owned treasury in the ecosystem, Mantle ensures robust liquidity and financial stability while actively funding core product development and fostering the growth of our asset partners, such as Agora AUSD, Ethena USDe, Ondo USDY, and EigenLayer restaking, enhancing sustainable yield, deep liquidity, and financial utility on Mantle Network.
In this pivotal next chapter, Mantle is primed to establish new standards for security, efficiency, and accessibility across asset classes.

Since Mantle Network's mainnet went live in July 2024, it has grown to become a top 5 Ethereum L2 with more than $2 billion in total value locked (TVL). Known for its modular design and pioneering adoption of EigenLayer's EigenDA technology, Mantle Network continues to drive capital efficiency through its unique approach combining modular architecture, data availability solutions, and zero-knowledge validity proofs via an industry-first collaboration with Succinct.
Mantle Network's new technical roadmap centred around the integration of EigenLayer's EigenDA, an upgrade from the EigenDA-powered Mantle DA, and Succinct’s SP1, a cutting-edge ZK proving system to achieve 168x speed improvement for institutional-grade bridging and settlement, will take us one step closer to our mission to become the liquidity chain of the future.
The network has integrated over 250 protocols on mainnet, including powerhouses like Pendle Finance, Ethena Labs, Merchant Moe and CatizenAI. Among its expansive ecosystem of dApps, Mantle Network's stronghold has been in DeFi, GameFi and infrastructure and tooling applications. And with the success of Mantle's AI Fest initiative last year (featuring trending AI dApps such as FIDE AI, 0xScope and more), Mantle Network has set the stage for an AI-centric strategy this year.

mETH Protocol has emerged as the 4th largest ETH liquid staking protocol with over $1.6 billion TVL. Its complementary offering, cmETH, stands as the 5th largest ETH liquid restaking token. mETH Protocol allows users to accrue Ethereum Proof of Stake (PoS) yields while optimising capital efficiency, demonstrating the protocol's comprehensive approach to ETH liquidity solutions.
The protocol's success is evident in its high-impact campaigns. The Double Dose initiative delivered doubled staking yields backed by the Mantle Treasury, with users receiving over 2.098M $EIGEN tokens as rewards. Similarly, its Methamorphosis Season 1 campaign distributed over 250M $COOK tokens to early adopters, while Season 2 continues to drive cmETH adoption.
Setting itself apart from incumbents, users can leverage assets within mETH Protocol across a diverse range of DeFi applications, including liquidity pooling, yield tokenization, perpetuals trading and more. This exemplifies Mantle's vision of fostering CeFi and DeFi interoperability, with mETH being integrated as trading collateral on major exchanges including Bybit.

Beyond Ethereum-based innovations, Mantle is also pioneering Bitcoin's evolution in DeFi through FBTC. As a groundbreaking omnichain Bitcoin asset, FBTC maintains a 1:1 peg to BTC while enabling seamless movement across Ethereum, Mantle Network, BNB Chain and more. With over $1.2 billion in TVL, FBTC transforms Bitcoin from a simple store of value into a dynamic, yield-generating asset.
The rapid institutional adoption of FBTC, supported by partnerships with industry forerunners like Avalon Labs, Bybit Web3, OKX and Ethena Labs, demonstrates the growing appetite for innovative Bitcoin solutions in both traditional and decentralized finance. Through FBTC, Mantle is unlocking Bitcoin's untapped potential, creating new opportunities for institutional capital to participate in DeFi while maintaining the security and stability that Bitcoin provides.

Mantle Treasury acts as the nucleus of Mantle’s financial ecosystem, ensuring stability and driving strategic growth. Its unique denomination of USD and ETH assets has allowed the disbursement of over $50 million in rewards to Mantle Network and mETH Protocol ecosystem adopters to-date, with decentralized finance (DeFi) activities accounting for over 50% of network transactions. This is a testament to Mantle's track record in building an enhanced yield ecosystem.
Mantle’s treasury-owned liquidity also provides strong support growth through Mantle EcoFund, which extends Mantle's reach and fuels ecosystem growth by backing transformative projects across DeFi, GameFi, and AI applications.
The fund partners with 20 leading VCs including Polychain Capital and Dragonfly Capital, while the expanded Scouts Program empowers 40 industry leaders to identify and nurture promising projects — endorsed by prominent members such as Agora’s Founder Nick Van Eck, Delphi Ventures’ Founding Partner Piers Kicks, Ethena Labs’ Founder Guy Young and more.
The Mantle EcoFund has emerged as a catalyst for innovation, backing over 30 transformative projects and pioneering cross-chain development through initiatives like 'Synergy' — a $5M accelerator with the TON ecosystem.
Mantle Treasury StatsShattering Limits to Establish An Industry Powerhouse
For 2025, Mantle's strategic roadmap focuses on three key pillars: establishing Mantle Network as the premier liquidity chain for institutional finance, expanding AI-driven financial applications across information finance, SocialFi, and PayFi, and building an enhanced yield ecosystem through institutional-grade products and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Mantle will soon scale integrations to various ecosystems, while broadening distribution networks across institutional products and other community programs to build banking for the next generation. And in line with our mission to lead the innovation of an improved on-chain economy, Mantle will soon be introducing a new core product to its existing ecosystem.
This is an exciting time for Mantle, and we thank all community, partners, allies and more for your overwhelming support thus far.
We look forward to bringing you an even bigger and better Mantle marked by this new vision.
