What is Mantle?
Mantle is an EVM-compatible Ethereum layer-2 with a modular architecture and its own MNT gas token, so MetaMask and ERC-20 tokens work unchanged at very low fees.
Mantle in plain English
Mantle is an Ethereum layer-2 with a modular design (separate execution and data-availability layers). It runs standard Ethereum smart contracts, so deploying an ERC-20 token works exactly like Ethereum — only far cheaper. Gas is paid in MNT, its native token.
Gas in MNT
Gas on Mantle is paid in MNT, the native token. You need only a small amount of MNT on the Mantle network to transact and deploy a token. Fees are very low.
Why people choose Mantle
- Very low fees — a fraction of Ethereum mainnet, thanks to modular data availability.
- EVM + MetaMask — same tools as Ethereum.
- Large treasury — one of the best-funded ecosystems in crypto, backing builders.
- High throughput — built for scale.
Creating a token on Mantle
Because Mantle is EVM-equivalent, launching a token is the same simple ERC-20 process as Ethereum — only far cheaper. Our Mantle token creator deploys a verified contract in minutes with no coding, using MetaMask.
Frequently asked questions
What coin does Mantle use for gas?
MNT. You need a small amount on the Mantle network to transact and deploy a token.
Is Mantle EVM-compatible?
Yes — Mantle runs the EVM, so the same ERC-20 standard, MetaMask and Ethereum tooling work unchanged.
Is Mantle a layer-2?
Yes — Mantle is a modular Ethereum layer-2 that settles to Ethereum, keeping fees very low.
