Manta Pacific, a blockchain network focused on zero-knowledge (ZK) applications, recently made an important decision to migrate its software infrastructure from OP Stack to Polygon CDK.
This move is significant because Manta has chosen to become an integral part of the Polygon ecosystem instead of participating in the upcoming Optimism Superchain. Manta Pacific’s Manta Network (layer 2 chain) was launched just about three months ago after a $25 million Series A, and mainnet was relaunched on his September 12th. Since then, the L2 chain has processed approximately 500,000 transactions.

Originally, Manta, a software framework developed by Optimism Labs, has found itself competing with the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK). The latter employs a unique security model, but serves a common purpose: creating a complex web of interconnected blockchain networks. CryptoDaily’s recent coverage Let me explain this technique in a little more detail.
Manta’s decision to adopt Polygon CDK was based on several compelling reasons. According to Manta, Polygon CDK offers a notable advantage in terms of fast deposit and withdrawal processing. Unlike solutions that rely on proof of fraud, transactions with Polygon CDK can achieve finality within minutes to seconds, rather than the (often) long timelines associated with traditional approaches. This speed can be attributed to the CDK’s reliance on mathematical security measures rather than the inherent socio-economic incentives to prove fraud.
Manta sees Polygon CDK as a more modular and sovereign choice compared to available alternatives. This quality gives his Manta development team great flexibility as they continue to expand and enhance the platform’s feature set.
“ZK knows ZK. Manta Pacific is a unique hub for ZK-centric dApps and is well-positioned to join the growing Polygon ZK-powered L2 ecosystem. The network effect is undeniable. , is growing stronger every day, and this means expanding access to the unified block space,” said Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon.
On the other hand, with the adoption of Polygon CDK by Manta Network, , the first of its kind and its order. In the long term, this bridge will allow users of various Polygon CDK networks to access each other’s liquidity pools, facilitating a broader and interconnected ecosystem.
Initially centered around the Polygon Proof of Stake network, Polygon has steadily evolved its landscape in the blockchain space. The Polygon ecosystem includes: The team then announced plans to integrate these networks into a new ecosystem. This demonstrates our commitment to further innovation and interoperability.
On the other hand, among them, Manta was initially considering joining, but the landscape is also steadily growing. In early August, another dimension was added to Optimism’s services, expanding interoperability between these blockchain ecosystems.
