Succinct alliance establishes Mantle Network as highest-TVL ZK validity rollup<a href="https://mantle.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mantle Network</a>, an Ethereum layer 2 (L2) known for its modular design and being the first adopter of EigenLayer’s EigenDA, today announced its architectural transition to a zero-knowledge (ZK) validity rollup through an industry-first alliance with<a href="https://www.succinct.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Succinct</a>. Combining its modular architecture, data availability solutions through EigenDA, and now zero-knowledge proofs via SP1, Mantle Network embarks on creating the liquidity chain for institutional-grade settlement and value transfer in the crypto ecosystem.Since Mantle Network’s mainnet launch on July 7, 2023, the burgeoning on-chain ecosystem has grown to become a<a href="https://l2beat.com/scaling/projects/mantle" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> top 5 L2</a> by total value locked (TVL) with $2.2 billion and counting.<a href="https://explorer.mantle.xyz/stats" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> The network</a> has processed 175 million on-chain transactions, seen 1.4 million smart contracts deployed, connected to 10 million unique wallet addresses and maintained 4.9 million monthly active wallet addresses since its inception. Mantle Network continues to drive capital efficiency in the on-chain economy with the integration of ZK validity rollup technology, providing crucial next-generation technical infrastructure to support and amplify secure growth of high-value asset settlements. Backed by one of the largest community-owned treasuries globally with<a href="https://treasurymonitor.mantle.xyz/mantle-treasury" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> $4.3 billion</a> in asset reserves, Mantle Network’s technical roadmap directly supports its vision of accelerating seamless, secure and efficient movement of institutional capital across traditional and decentralized markets.Accelerating Institutional-Grade Asset Settlements Through ZK Validity InnovationWith the testnet launch in Q1 2025 with intention towards mainnet upgrade, Mantle Network is set to evolve from an optimistic rollup model to a ZK validity rollup through Succinct’s SP1. This architectural change drastically reduces chain finality from seven days to one hour – enabling fast institutional-grade asset settlements that support and address capital efficiency opportunities throughout traditional finance and the blockchain industry.The transformative efficiency gains of ZK validity proofs have garnered significant market traction. Already powering applications with a cumulative $4.4 billion capital across leading ZK L2 ecosystems, Mantle Network maintains a bullish belief in the advancement of ZK technology to further the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Performance benefits can allow Mantle’s flagship assets, such as $mETH, $cmETH and $FBTC, with an aggregate $3.9 billion TVL, to proliferate across the wider decentralized finance (DeFi) domain. This enables better swap market spreads, lower slippage, deeper money markets, improved interest rates, and broader asset availability. Market intermediaries can rapidly rebalance inventories between Mantle Network (Layer 2) and Ethereum (Layer 1), and users can quickly move permissionlessly to access a unique set of onward routes and integrations.Key Technical BenefitsThe strategic integration of Succinct’s SP1 offers a suite of advanced features catered to developers and users:<ul><li>Fast Finality: Boasting a 168x improvement in bridging capabilities, transactions achieve finality in one hour – enabling quick withdrawals and seamless operations to redefine user experience.</li><li>EVM Equivalence: Succinct’s SP1 full EVM bytecode compatibility ensures developers can leverage existing Ethereum tooling and smart contracts without compromise.</li><li>Cost Efficiency: Prover fees integrated into transaction costs eliminate additional financial burdens for rollup teams with minimal cost impact to users, as low as fractions of a cent per transaction.</li><li>Enabling a Multi-Chain Future: The advancement reaffirms Mantle Network’s alignment with Ethereum’s security ethos while laying the groundwork for cross-rollup interoperability at scale through ZK proofs.</li></ul>Driving the Future of ZK RollupsOP Succinct combines the power of Succinct’s SP1 zkVM with the modularity of the OP Stack, bridging the gap between user-friendly optimistic rollups and complex zero-knowledge technology. The innovation promotes interoperability, flexibility, and standardization that addresses Ethereum’s existing challenges. By adopting ZK validity proofs, Mantle Network transactions are cryptographically verified to be correctly sequenced and settled. This higher tier of security allows everyone to more easily and safely explore frontier areas that enhance the Ethereum experience — such as supporting more advanced application logic, enabling cross-chain actions, improving latency, and adopting multi-sequencer architectures.<blockquote>Joshua Cheong, Product Lead at Mantle said: “In my previous banking career, I witnessed traditional banking infrastructure and legacy banking business models struggle to keep up with the emergence of FinTech disruptors built with cloud services that boast cost advantages. The introduction of programmable blockchains along with stablecoins heralds the next natural step in disruption of financial services – being even more operationally efficient and resilient. The integration of Succinct’s SP1 marks a defining chapter in Mantle Network’s strategic blockchain journey to support banking for the next generation. By uniting zero-knowledge proofs with the proven versatility of the OP Stack, we’re not just evolving as a Layer-2 solution – we’re setting a new benchmark for institutional-grade Ethereum scalability that enables highly efficient and unparalleled security for high-value transactions at the cost of a few cents with 24/7 settlements.”</blockquote><blockquote>Uma Roy, CEO and Co-Founder at Succinct added: “Succinct’s SP1 empowers any developer to make ZK applications by just writing Rust, accelerating the adoption of ZK and verifiable computation. With OP Succinct, we can propel any OP Stack rollup into the future by providing fast finality with no downsides. By merging SP1’s blazing fast performance with Mantle’s progressive vision, we’re enabling developers to reimagine decentralized applications with unprecedented speed, efficiency, and reliability. Together, we’re building the foundation for Ethereum’s interconnected and scalable future.”</blockquote>A Unified Ethereum EcosystemThe synergy of fast finality, Ethereum-standard compatibility, and cost efficiency promises a profound impact, reducing fragmentation and unlocking the potential for next-generation decentralized applications (dApps).The transition enhances Mantle Network’s commitment to Ethereum’s decentralized security model as an ETH-aligned Layer 2, enabling a more cohesive ecosystem with seamless asset and information flows. Mantle Network is now poised to be a future-ready L2 chain as a native ZK rollup.As the Ethereum landscape evolves, Mantle Network’s adoption of Succinct’s SP1 positions it as a leader in scalability and innovation. Developers, users, and ecosystem partners can look forward to a faster, more secure, and interconnected Ethereum future.About SuccinctSuccinct brings zero-knowledge proofs to any developer with SP1—the world’s fastest zkVM.
