Mantle vs Provenance

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.

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.
