Key Takeaways
6 min read
  • Mantle has a TVL of $42.27M since the chain went live about ~3 weeks ago.
  • Mantle Network has reached 4919 unique addresses that bridged from Ethereum to their network (as of August 8).
  • The total value bridged (TVL) is at $56M.

Mantle Network is live on Mainnet. Currently, Mantle Network has reached 4919 unique addresses that bridged from Ethereum to their network (as of August 8). The total transactions in the network are still relatively low, ranging from 50-200 daily - which is expected considering the network is still in the early stages. The total value bridged (TVL) is at $56M.

With MIP-22’s proposal on Mantle’s token conversion design, the BIT token will be converted 1:1 to the new MNT token that will be used for gas payments on the Mantle L2 network. The token migration has already happened successfully, with a total of 69m MNT migrated thus far (46% total that is migrated from the pool). It will be interesting to continue monitoring the MNT pool and whether the tokens migrated will increase over time.

General Statistics

Mantle Network Entity Top Token Holdings

  • The largest token holding is MNT with a balance of 147m MNT (~$82m), followed by BIT, USDC, USDT, ETH, LUSD, PENDLE, UWBTC, and wstETH.

Top Counterparties

  • BitDAO is the largest counterparty of Mantle Network, followed by Bybit, Jump Capital, Spartan Group, Mirana Ventures, Digits DAO, CoinEX, etc.

Bridging

The official Mantle Network bridge is live. Users will need to convert some ETH to MNT, as MNT is used as the official token for gas fees on the L2 to initiate transactions.

There are also other cross-chain bridges that now support Mantle Network, namely, LayerZero, Router Protocol, Wormhole, and Entangle.
