Manta Network recently showcased its advancements in modular blockchain at the Innovate’25 conference in Uyo, Nigeria, where blockchain innovators gathered to discuss decentralized finance's future. Xandra Manta, during her keynote, shared the network's evolution into a modular Layer 2, emphasizing how this approach enhances scalability, developer accessibility, and cost-efficiency within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Manta Network’s modular design separates the execution, settlement, and data availability layers, allowing for better scalability without compromising on security or decentralization. This shift has positioned Manta as a leader in the multi-Data Availability (DA) Layer 2 space, integrating with several leading DA solutions such as Celestia, EigenDA, Dill, Nuffle Labs, Nubit, and 0G Labs. These integrations provide developers with greater flexibility and control over costs, throughput, and performance, creating a more adaptive decentralized ecosystem.
The presentation also highlighted several key initiatives designed to drive adoption, including the MantaCeDeFi Campaign to bridge centralized and decentralized finance, the Gas Gain Program offering rebates and rewards, and the Manta Ecosystem Fund to support startups and innovators within the Manta ecosystem.
Xandra concluded by encouraging African developers, entrepreneurs, and blockchain enthusiasts to actively participate in shaping Web3’s future through Manta Network’s infrastructure. $MANTA is committed to supporting emerging markets with accessible tools, aiming to foster a new wave of blockchain contributors globally. With its modular approach, multiple DA integrations, and ecosystem initiatives, Manta is positioning itself at the forefront of Layer 2 blockchain innovation.
