According to Foresight News, the modular L2 network Mantle announced a partnership with the ZK proof startup Succinct, and will launch the ZK Validity Rollup testnet through Succinct SP1 in the first quarter of 2025, marking Mantle's transition from the current Optimistic Rollup model to the ZK Validity Rollup model.

Mantle represents that, through ZK Validity Rollup, the finality time can be shortened from 7 days to 1 hour, making the Mantle Network economically closer to Ethereum L1, thereby achieving better exchange market price differences, lower slippage, and better money markets.
