MNT price hits all-time highs after Mantle completes ZK rollout transition
Cryptocurrencies performed well on Wednesday as Bitcoin reclaimed $117,000 ahead of the closely-watched Fed rate decision.
Amidst the optimism, Mantle’s native token MNT has skyrocketed to fresh all-time highs of $1.69 after the network transitions into a zero-knowledge rollup.
The OP Succinct-powered upgrade marks the end of a long-awaited process.
Moreover, it makes Mantle the largest Ethereum-based ZK rollup, with over $2 billion in total value locked.
The latest blog confirmed:
With today’s mainnet upgrade, the journey is complete: Mantle is now the world’s largest ZK rollup by TVL, with over $2 billion secured by Succinct’s technology.
Furthermore, the transition represents a crucial step in Mantle’s vision of creating a “Liquidity Chain”.
The innovative chain connects decentralised finance (DeFi), institutional funds, and RWAs (real-world assets) tokenisation on one L2 platform.
Mantle’s native token rallied to new all-time highs above $1.69 hours after the announcement.
Mantle introduces lower costs and faster settlement
The latest upgrade addresses the primary challenges facing the Ethereum blockchain: high transaction costs and slow finality times.
With OP Succinct, Mantle Network offers a 6-hour withdrawal timeframe and 1-hour transaction settlement.
That outperforms the 7-day exit time seen on most Layer2 blockchains.
Such enhancement will likely attract institutional participants prioritising settlement speed and capital efficiency.
The upgrade also reduces transaction costs. Succinct’s Prover Network enables individuals to spend as low as $0.002 per transaction.
Furthermore, end users will not incur disruptive fees when utilising ZK offerings. According to the Mantle team:
These capabilities are making the Liquidity Chain real. With faster settlement secured by cryptography, a new class of applications will be possible. Capital will flow seamlessly between digital and real-world economies.
MNT price outlook
While analysts forecast massive breakouts in the crypto space after a possible rate cut, the Mantle community appears early to the party.
MNT surged to all-time highs of $1.69 today, September 17, after gaining 20% and over 35% the past week and month.
The alt is now over 250% up since its inception.
Mantle looks poised for extended upside considering the current broad market sentiments.
Odds of the Fed executing a rate cut in today’s meeting continue to soar, fueled by the struggling economy.
Polymarket shows a 91% chance of a 25% interest rate reduction.
Digital tokens are trading near key price levels, eying significant breakouts after a dovish Federal Reserve.
Either way, Mantle has welcomed a new era with the ZK rollup transition.
Lower transaction fees, faster finality, and a comprehensive roadmap for institutional adoption could attract more liquidity in the coming times.
