What is Mantle?
Mantle is a Layer 2 (L2) solution on the Ethereum blockchain that uses Optimistic Rollups to improve scalability and efficiency. Unlike traditional blockchain architectures, Mantle separates the key functions—consensus, execution, and data availability—into separate, interoperable layers. This modular structure allows Mantle to delegate core blockchain functions to specialized layers.
Originally, Mantle was known as BitDAO, a decentralized platform for community-driven investments and governance using blockchain technology.
