Catch the TL;DR in this thread ⬇️

2/ Modular Blockchain Rollups: The core functions of blockchain operation (execution, consensus, settlement, data availability) are performed on specialized layers. By applying this principle to a rollup, we are able to optimize the solution for low costs & high performance.

3/ Data Availability: Mantle has integrated a new staking solution that leverages @Ethereum's existing trust network for enabling any rollup-based L2 to guarantee data availability to its execution layer, while maintaining the same level of security as the Ethereum mainnet.

4/ We're working with @EigenLayer's EigenDA — allowing nodes to provide data availability services to the Mantle network & participate in Mantle's economic model via $BIT staking:

✅ Block data completeness & correctness on the Mantle execution layer
✅ Security derived from L1

5/ Decentralized Sequencers: Mantle aims to decentralize the Sequencer, allowing anyone to join a permissionless set of L2 block producers. Nodes acting as Sequencers will receive $BIT rewards.

6/ Fraud Proofs: Compiling and verifying fraud proofs with EVM-level instructions allows all Ethereum clients to interact with a common proof system, permissionlessly.

It reduces trust assumptions across verifiers, clients, and compilers.

7/ Transaction Lifecycle:

1️⃣ Transaction first enters Mantle via a wallet/dApp
2️⃣ Batched & sent for block data verification via MPC nodes
3️⃣ Instant transaction and state confirmations
4️⃣ Transmitted to L1

8/ What are you waiting for?
