Bitcoin (BTC) vs Mantle (MNT)

Bitcoin is an electronic payment network that is distributed, decentralized, immutable, censorship-resistant, and peer-to-peer. It is based on principles of cryptography and operates through independent contributors, miners, and node operators. The Bitcoin network also introduces a new security mechanism called Proof of Work. The native currency of the network, bitcoin, is often considered digital gold. Announced in 2008 and officially launched in 2009, Bitcoin is an alternative to traditional payment systems, allowing users to bypass trusted financial intermediaries.

Mantle is a layer 2 scalability solution for Ethereum, whose technological infrastructure ensures full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), facilitating the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Mantle is an atypical Optimistic Rollup as it has a modular architecture: the network only handles transaction execution, while consensus is managed by Ethereum and data is decentralized with EigenDA. It is worth noting that Mantle is the result of an evolution of ByBit's BitDAO ecosystem.
