Figure Heloc (FIGR_HELOC) vs Mantle (MNT)

This project is building the foundational protocol layer for institutional debt markets on blockchain. Powered by Provenance Blockchain, Figure Connect and Figure Markets are transforming the way loan assets are originated, traded, and settled. Figure Connect functions as a primary market for credit—standardizing and tokenizing debt assets such as HELOCs and private credit into composable on-chain formats. Figure Markets acts as a secondary trading venue, enabling 24/7 settlement of these digital loan assets through decentralized custody, with support for both crypto and fiat on/off ramps. Together, they offer an integrated protocol for real-world asset finance, with deep roots in the lending ecosystem.

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.
