Innovate’25 Uyo: Manta Network Sets the Pace for Modular Blockchain Innovation

This past weekend, Uyo, Nigeria hosted the Innovate’25: #DeFi-ing the Odds conference — a major event where innovators and tech leaders gathered to explore the future of decentralized finance (DeFi).

One of the standout presentations came from Xandra Manta of Manta Network, who delivered an engaging keynote on the Future of Modular Blockchain.

Embracing Modularity and Multi-DA

Xandra highlighted Manta Network’s successful transition to a modular blockchain architecture, which has significantly improved the network’s scalability, speed, and efficiency. This shift has placed Manta at the cutting edge of Ethereum Layer2 development.

A key part of Manta's evolution is its move into a Multi Data Availability (DA) Layer2, achieved through integration with leading DA providers:

@Celestia

@EigenDA

@Dill_xyz_

@NuffleLabs

@Nubit_org

@0G_labs

These integrations empower Manta to deliver lower costs, higher throughput, and flexibility—all while maintaining decentralization and strong security for both users and developers.

Driving Ecosystem Growth

Xandra also introduced various initiatives aimed at growing the Manta ecosystem:

MantaCeDeFi Campaign – Encourages user engagement in a hybrid CeDeFi system.

Gas Gain Campaign – Offers gas rebates and rewards for user activity.

$MANTA Ecosystem Fund – Supports early-stage builders launching projects on Manta.

These programs are designed to help developers and users onboard seamlessly and take advantage of the tools, incentives, and infrastructure Manta has to offer.

A Call for Web3 Inclusion in Africa

In closing, Xandra called on African developers, startups, and entrepreneurs to explore the many opportunities within Manta’s growing ecosystem. Her message was clear: the future of scalable, modular, and inclusive Web3 is being built now—and Africa can play a leading role in shaping it.
