Manta vs Provenance

Manta Pacific is a modular zk‑EVM Layer‑2 that stores rollup data on Celestia DA and uses universal circuits to keep prover costs low. Users can deploy privacy‑preserving smart contracts with built‑in zero‑knowledge widgets for shielding balances. The 2025 ‘Marlin’ release adds Account Abstraction and native bridges to Polkadot’s parachain ecosystem.

Provenance Blockchain is a Cosmos SDK proof-of-stake network built for financial services and tokenized real-world assets. It brings issuance, servicing, settlement and exchange workflows on-chain so institutions can replace intermediary-heavy processes with verifiable records and protocol-level controls. HASH is used for fees and governance across the network.
