TechFlow news: Victor Ji, co-founder of Manta Network, announced the launch of Manta Pacific, an EVM-native modular execution layer designed specifically for zero-knowledge (ZK) applications, along with an updated roadmap for Manta Network to build a multi-module ecosystem tailored for zero-knowledge (zk) applications, featuring a modular design incorporating multiple chains and multiple circuits.
Specifically, Manta Pacific leverages Celestia's data availability layer for security and reduced gas fees, and achieves scalability through Caldera’s enhanced OP Stack. It is the first Layer2 (Celestium) to integrate the OP Stack with Celestia DA.
The future Manta ecosystem will consist of two components: Manta Atlantic and Manta Pacific.
-
Manta Atlantic, built on Substrate, is the fastest zk L1 solution focused on Web3 programmable compliance, privacy, and identity;
-
Manta Pacific is an EVM-native execution layer purpose-built for mass adoption of zk applications. It offers strong scalability, ultra-low gas fees, and enables direct development of new zk applications using Solidity.
