The Mantis ecosystem continues to expand with new partnerships, features, and milestones. Here's your comprehensive guide to recent developments so you don’t have to scroll X for all the important updates.

We are happy to share that Mantis is collaborating with Fragmetric, a liquid restaking protocol on Solana. This partnership will involve accepting $fragSOL deposits into the Mantis rollup. This means that $fragSOL can be used for pre-funding user accounts on Mantis. Then, $fragSOL will be able to be used on the Mantis application in swaps and eventually other intents.

Mantis is happy to share that we will be working with Dialect. In this partnership, Dialect’s Actions and Blinks will be incorporated into Mantis’s product experiences. This will streamline how users interact with Mantis.

1\. What does it mean to 'pre-fund my account?

The metamorphosis of Mantis has commenced, ushering in the next stage of the evolution. As we close the chapter on a successful Waitlist Phase, Mantis is now primed to engage with the community in the Pre-Funding Phase. In this blog, you will learn how to start your journey towards earning Mantis Credits if you’re new to the community.

As we recently announced, Mantis is partnering with MagicBlock to bring ephemeral rollups (ERs) to our ecosystem. This will allow Mantis to become even more performant and scalable. Moreover, this will allow for the creation of Layer 3s (L3s) atop Mantis, unlocking enhanced utilities for AI agents, bots, privacy protocols, prediction markets, gaming platforms, and more. These L3s will be able to handle high levels of throughput with minimal latency - all while being natively interoperable with the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) Protocol via Mantis and the Picasso Network.

Mantis was engineered to be a novel solution, delivering a number of industry firsts to satisfy unmet user needs. For example, we have created the first L2 on Solana, where we are building the first cross-chain intents settlement framework. Mantis is also pleased to be bringing the first request-for-quote (RFQ) system to Solana. This will enable RFQ-based swaps and exchanges on Solana for the first time.

One of the key benefits of Mantis is the optimal routing of users’ intents. Cross-chain routes (“solutions”) to optimally execute these orders are created by Mantis solvers. These solutions will eventually be able to make use of many sources of liquidity including order matching via Coincidence of Wants (CoWs), automated market makers (AMMs), solvers’ own funds, and orderflow auctions (OFAs).

Mantis is excited to share that we will soon be incorporating ephemeral rollups by MagicBlock. Ephemeral rollups are a scaling solution that harnesses the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Ephemeral Rollups (ERs) enable sharded and asynchronous execution of a base Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) layer, without creating permanent state fragmentation. Thus, Mantis will become even more performant and scalable while keeping transactions on-chain.
