Mantle is a modular Ethereum Layer‑2 that decouples execution, data availability and settlement, using Optimistic rollup proofs on Ethereum mainnet and EigenDA for cheap blob‑based data. Its BitDAO‑backed treasury subsidises sequencer fees, keeping swaps under $0.05 even during L1 congestion. The network went live in July 2023 and now hosts over 150 dApps including the Mantle DEX and Fusion perpetuals.
NEAR Protocol employs Nightshade sharding where each block contains chunks from multiple shards, and Doomslug consensus gives 1‑second near‑finality. The JavaScript SDK and Contract Aurora EVM make onboarding Web2 developers easier. In 2024 NEAR launched a chain‑signature wallet standard that leverages passkeys for seedless login.
