$MANTA : The L2 of ZK that made me double the bet 🎯
What works is repeated. In my last play with MANTA, quick entry and exit gave me results. Now I increase the bet. Coincidence or opportunity? I share the analysis.
Technical architecture:
✅ First native EVM L2 of ZK: Manta Pacific uses zero-knowledge technology with Celestia DA for scalability and Polygon zkEVM for full compatibility with Ethereum. This allows for very low fees without sacrificing security.
✅ Attractive staking model: Native staking with a floating APR of approximately 29%, receiving vMANTA in return. More than 18% of the circulating supply is already staked, reducing selling pressure.
Growing ecosystem:
· TVL in CeDeFi: $120M
· +150 deployed dApps
· Integration with Stargate Finance for cross-chain liquidity
· Upcoming MANTA staking via Babylon (mainnet post-audit)
Market data today (February 2026):
Price: ~$0.0682 ( -17.48% in the month)
Market cap: ~$34M
Circulating: 462.5M MANTA (46.2% of the total)
ATH: $4.05 (March 2024)
Recent ATL: $0.0597 (February 2026)
My play:
Market sentiment is at "extreme fear" (index 18) and Bitcoin dominance at 59%. But the volatility of MANTA is brutal: daily volume can exceed $40M. In January 2026, the price fluctuated between $0.069 and $0.096. Enough for scalping if you enter and exit quickly.
Why do I repeat?
Liquidity is concentrated in large exchanges. Sharp movements are constant. Manta Pacific continues to build (even though they sunset Manta Atlantic for July 2026). While the market ignores altcoins, short trades take advantage of volatility.
For now, I stay with what I don't mind losing but I think what will change is the speed I'm willing to wait for.
Are you also taking advantage of these opportunities or do you prefer to HODL? 👇
