Mantle, launched in 2023, is governed by its token holder community and designed with a modular architecture that separates execution, consensus, and data availability layers. This structure aims to enhance scalability and performance while retaining the security features of Ethereum. Governance decisions are made through on-chain voting, with proposals enacted once they gain majority support from participants.

Mantle’s Role in Ethereum Scaling
The MNT token functions as both a gas token for transaction fees and a governance token for Mantle DAO. Holders can propose and vote on protocol upgrades, while also participating in staking and incentive mechanisms to support the network’s growth. Mantle has capped the supply of MNT at 6.219 billion, with allocations distributed across ecosystem development, governance, and treasury purposes as defined in its governance framework.
Mantle positions itself as part of a new wave of Ethereum Layer-2 networks using modular designs to address congestion and high fees on the base chain. The project has emphasized its community-driven governance model as a differentiator, ensuring token holders directly shape protocol development.
Trading Details on Bitfinex
Bitfinex confirmed that MNT will be listed against the US Dollar (MNT/USD) and Tether (MNT/USDt). The exchange said trading will begin once liquidity requirements are met, with deposits opening on August 26 at approximately 2:00 PM UTC and trading expected to go live at the same time on August 28.
“Mantle’s modular approach to scaling Ethereum, combined with its community-driven governance model, aligns with our vision of a decentralised economy,”
said Anoush Bhasin, Head of Listings at Bitfinex.
