Plain English

Manta Network is an Ethereum L2 launched in 2024, focused on ZK privacy and modular architecture. Uses Celestia for data availability (modular DA). MANTA is the native token. Combines L2 scaling with ZK-based privacy primitives for selective transaction privacy.

How it actually works

Manta Pacific is the EVM-compatible L2; Manta Atlantic is a privacy-focused parachain. zkSBT (zero-knowledge soulbound tokens) enable selective disclosure of identity attributes. Uses Celestia for cheap data availability while settling proofs to Ethereum.

What it means for you

Manta is the most-developed L2 with native privacy primitives baked in. For HNW users interested in compliance-friendly privacy tooling — proving accreditation without revealing income, proving age without revealing birthdate — Manta’s zkSBT framework is one to know. Smaller ecosystem than mainstream L2s; track development progress.
