Manta Transitions from OP Stack to Polygon CDK, Fostering Better Ecosystem Integration
Summary:
Manta, a blockchain network specializing in zero-knowledge applications, has announced plans to transfer its software from OP Stack to Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK). Initially considered for integration with the upcoming Optimism Superchain, Manta will now be part of the Polygon ecosystem. The decision came due to the quicker deposit and withdrawal processing times on Polygon CDK, enhanced modularity and sovereignty, and the ability to create a trustless zero-knowledge bridge to Ethereum.
Blockchain entity, Manta, known for its emphasis on zero-knowledge applications, declared on October 16 that it would shift its software from OP Stack to Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK). Although initially considered for integration with the upcoming Optimism Superchain, Manta will now form part of the Polygon network ecosystem. Manta, an Ethereum Layer-2 focused on zero-knowledge-oriented services, including digital identity and privacy solutions, launched a primary network on September 12 and has processed upwards of half a million transactions. The network was founded as an optimistic rollup utilizing Optimism Lab's OP Stack software designed to facilitate the collaborative security model of an array of interconnected networks. Yet, it encountered rivalry from Polygon Chain Development Kit offering a unique safety model and pathway to creating an interconnected web of several blockchain networks. Manta outlined three reasons for its migration to Polygon CDK. First, the software allows swift processing of deposits and withdrawals, requiring no waiting period for submission of fraud proofs, resulting in quick 'finality' as the software is based on mathematical security instead of socio-economic incentive-oriented fraud proofs. Also, Manta proposed that Polygon CDK's enhanced "modularity" and "sovereignty" offers the team improved flexibility for progressive feature development. Finally, Polygon CDK facilitates the creation of a 'trustless' zero-knowledge bridge to Ethereum, eventually enabling users across various Polygon CDK networks access to each other's liquidity thus making the network an integral part of a broader ecosystem. Polygon began as a standalone Polygon Proof of Stake network. On March 27, its team introduced a second network – Polygon zkEVM. In June, an amalgamation of these two networks into a revamped ecosystem, “Polygon 2.0,” was announced. The Optimism ecosystem expanded on August 9 with the introduction of a second network, Base, by Coinbase. Subsequently, on October 3, the Optimism team set into motion a fraud-proof system designed for ecosystem-wide used.
