Manta vs XRPL

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.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain optimized for payments, asset issuance, and tokenized value transfer. Known for its low fees, fast settlement times, and energy-efficient consensus mechanism, XRPL supports financial institutions, payment providers, and developers building global payment and tokenization solutions.
