Recently, Mantle has become a hot topic.

To be honest, this Layer 2 has had a different approach over the past year compared to many chains—there was no explosive marketing, nor did it constantly seek to be in the spotlight; it just focused on getting things done. At that time, many people felt that the ecosystem was quiet, the pace was sluggish, and it even seemed a bit forgotten by the market.

But now the wind seems to have changed. Community discussions have suddenly increased, and the TVL data is steadily climbing. Instead, the approach of "slow and steady wins the race" is being re-evaluated. Sometimes with public chains, while explosive growth is certainly important, projects that can endure the cold start period and solidify their infrastructure often have stronger long-term potential.
