Building on Manta: What Manta Network Offers
A High-performance Blockchain for On-chain Privacy
The Fastest ZKPs — Manta Network offers the fastest ZK proving speed of any layer 1 blockchain, which offers an unrivaled user experience when it comes to on-chain privacy.

Low Gas Cost — Manta Network private transactions are just as inexpensive as an L2 transaction, but performed on the L1 level, offering more decentralization.

Tools for Rapid Development Inside and Outside Web3
zkAddresses and zkAssets — Provides a layer of privacy through shielded pools. Learn more about zkAddresses and zkAssets here.

Developer toolkits to make it easy to build and deploy applications — Manta Network offers simple APIs and an SDK as well as plug-and-play services for zkNFTs/zkSBTs/MantaPay that give powerful and complete ZK features for developers to build on top of, without the need to understand ZK, cryptography or mathematics.

Multi-asset support — Manta Network offers privacy-enhancing support for fungible (i.e., cryptocurrencies) and nonfungible (i.e., NFTs and SBTs) assets, enabling a rich variety of use cases including gamefi, socialfi, defi, web2 mobile applications, and more.

Less user friction — Using Proof Keys developed by Manta Network, applications can support wallet-less experiences for private verifiability for users. In other words, the intimidating aspects of web3 can be abstracted entirely away from the users on web3 and web2.

Abstraction through applications and services — Manta Network’s platforms including MantaPay, NPO and Manta Name Service offer an intuitive user experience by relegating much of the complexities of ZK technology to the background. Leveraging these core platforms, developers can quickly ship prototypes and full products with out-of-the-box functionality enabling decentralized privacy.

A Web2 and Web3 Friendly Developer Experience
Developer-friendly for mobile and non-web3 applications — Manta Network’s APIs and SDKs are designed in a manner that provide a modular plug-and-play experience for mobile or desktop applications, inside and outside of web3. Developers do not have to build with web3 in mind from the ground up; rather, developers can take their applications (in whatever stage it’s at) and plug in Manta Network’s functionality where it’s needed, to offer a decentralized user experience without impacting any development time or user experience changes.
