Mantle Realm

Mantle is a popular Layer 2 blockchain that scales the Ethereum ecosystem. Launched on July 17, 2023 by BitDAO (a DAO by the CEX, Bybit), Mantle signifies the future of Ethereum and beyond.

Mantle uses its native token $MNT, to power all transactions, smart contract deployments and its emerging dApp ecosystem. All transactions (such as purchasing a $PUFF or swapping on DEXes) need you to have $MNT as gas fees.

Puff the Dragon and other popular dApps like MethLabs reside in this realm. Here's a list of Mantle dApps you can explore:

MethLab

mETHLab is a DeFi powerhouse offering a liquidation-free and oracle-less lending/borrowing protocol on Mantle. On MethLab, mETH users can open leverage positions (non-liquidatable!) on $mETH, $MNT, $mUSD, and $USDC and earn some juicy yields. X: https://twitter.com/methlabxyz
