Manta: A Cutting Edge ZK-EVM Worth Exploring
What do you get when you cross a multi-platform project like Manta with a wallet solution like Talisman? A great user experience, that’s what! Manta Network is one of the hottest ZK projects in the space currently. A modular blockchain that leverages ZK rollups technology, Manta aims to enhance cross-chain compatibility between different platforms. The two networks that Manta have deployed are Manta Atlantic, a Polkadot parachain, and Manta Pacific, an EVM-equivalent ZK-application platform. With Talisman boasting both Polkadot and EVM compatibility, this makes it the perfect wallet solution to use with Manta. So let’s dig a little deeper into the recent Manta hype and ecosystem, and how to use Talisman to explore both the Manta Atlantic and Pacific networks.
Dive into the Manta Ecosystem with Talisman
So where to begin on this Manta journey? Well the first place to start is by visiting the native Manta Pacific bridge, which allows users to bridge between Ethereum mainnet and Manta. There are also a variety of third-party bridges that allow for bridging between Manta and a multitude of other Ethereum L2s. To connect to Manta Pacific via Talisman, simply switch over to your EVM wallet and connect to any dapp on Manta. The Pacific ecosystem is far more extensive than Atlantic currently, and boasts a number of bridges, DEXs, and even gaming and SocialFi.
To connect to Manta Atlantic via Talisman simply just navigate to the Manta portal and click on “Connect Wallet”. Once connected, you can use the Atlantic bridge to bridge assets between Polkadot, Moonbeam, AssetHub, and of course Manta Atlantic and Manta Pacific, respectively. For this, you will also need to connect your EVM wallet using Talisman to withdraw assets on the EVM side. The Polkadot XCM bridge is another option, allowing for XCM “bridging” between Manta Atlantic and Moonbeam. Using Talisman, you can also explore the broader ecosystem, and connect to the native Manta DEX, Manta Staking (which is only available on Atlantic, as Polkadot uses collators), or even the Bifrost dapp which also supports Manta bridging, staking, and swaps.
Note: for the best user experience while using Talisman with Manta (or any other chain for that matter), make sure to have the Metamask extension disabled (if installed). This will enable Talisman to pop up when choosing the ‘Metamask’ option to connect your EVM wallet.
Where’s my Manta? Automatically Discover EVM Assets with One Click
One killer new feature on Talisman: Automatic Asset Discovery! So if you’re checking your EVM wallets for your Manta balance — or other related tokens — Talisman can now automatically track down all of your assets with one click. You can view your assets in detail for all accounts using the Account drop-down menu, and viewing your Portfolio for that account. With Automatic Asset Discovery you might even find airdrops you never realized were there, or tokens you completely forgot about! Time to load up those bags.
The Future is Multi-Chain
As the crypto space continues to evolve, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the future is multi-chain. Talisman is designed with this new paradigm in mind, future-proofed to support this ever-evolving landscape. Manta is a perfect example of this: leveraging Polkadot, ZK-rollups, and even the OP (Optimism) Stack in its approach. Many other projects aim to do the same, deploying an architecture that is modular and composable in nature. Try it yourself at talisman.xyz, and explore this modular multi-chain universe in style.
