Manta Network initially started its journey with Manta Atlantic (the fastest ZK L1 chain on Polkadot) and later introduced Manta Pacific (the modular L2 ecosystem that is community-driven) in the Manta ecosystem.
To ensure seamless participation from the Manta ecosystem users, assets should circulate freely within both chains, especially the native governance token, $MANTA. Users can use tokens on both chains to participate in Manta Pacific’s fast-growing ecosystem (DeFi, SocialFi, zkApps & more) by enjoying the inexpensive gas fees & highly scalable environment. Meanwhile, on Manta Atlantic, users can use $MANTA for gas fees to participate in staking and other on-chain activities.
The cBridge cross-chain bridge powered by Celer enables a seamless bridging experience between Manta Pacific and Atlantic. The bridge will go live at TGE on January 18, 2024.

Bridge and Lockup
