ZK-focused Manta Pacific opts out of OP Stack for Polygon CDK

It faces competition from the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK), which utilizes a different security model however is likewise used to develop a web of interconnected blockchain networks.In its announcement, Manta stated it selected to move to Polygon CDK for 3 reasons. Over the long run, this bridge will allow users of various Polygon CDK networks to gain access to each others liquidity, making the network part of a larger ecosystem.Related: ZK-proofs might alter the web, not simply Web3– Aleo execThe Polygon environment initially consisted of simply the Polygon Proof of Stake network. On March 27, the Polygon team introduced a second network, Polygon zkEVM.

Manta, a blockchain network concentrating on zero-knowledge (ZK) applications, will migrate its software from OP Stack to Polygon CDK, according to an October 16 statement. This suggests that Manta will not be integrated into the upcoming Optimism Superchain and will rather enter into the Polygon ecosystem.Manta Pacific block explorer. Source: Manta.Manta network is an Ethereum layer-2 concentrating on zero-knowledge-based applications, consisting of digital identity and personal privacy services. It released a mainnet on September 12 and has processed more than 500,000 deals. Manta was initially established as an optimistic rollup that uses the OP Stack software application established by Optimism Labs. This software is planned to help produce a “Superchain” of interconnected networks that will share the same security design. Nevertheless, it deals with competitors from the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK), which uses a various security design however is also utilized to develop a web of interconnected blockchain networks.In its announcement, Manta said it chose to migrate to Polygon CDK for 3 reasons. First, with Polygon CDK, deposits and withdrawals can be processed quickly, as they dont need a period of time for fraud proofs to be submitted. “Finality can occur in seconds or minutes, rather than days,” the statement stated. This is because “CDK leverages the security of math instead of the social-economic incentives of scams evidence.”Secondly, Manta claimed that Polygon CDK is more “modular” and “sovereign” than options, giving the group more versatility as it continues to develop out functions. Third, utilizing Polygon CDK will permit designers to create a “trustless ZK bridge to Ethereum.” Over the long term, this bridge will enable users of various Polygon CDK networks to gain access to each others liquidity, making the network part of a bigger ecosystem.Related: ZK-proofs might change the internet, not just Web3– Aleo execThe Polygon environment originally consisted of just the Polygon Proof of Stake network. On March 27, the Polygon team launched a second network, Polygon zkEVM. In June, they revealed plans to incorporate these 2 networks into a new ecosystem called “Polygon 2.0.”The Optimism community added a 2nd network on August 9, as Coinbase released Base network. On October 3, the Optimism team launched a fraud-proof system thats meant to be used throughout its community.
