CM Profile: Mantle
Cryptominium Profile. What we have established, measured and written about MNT, and what we have not.
- Measured
- Selling $100,000 on Kraken's order book lost 1.11%, on 8 October 2026.
- Its price, recorded by us every day since 9 August 2026.
- Written, with sources
- Not established
- What an on-chain sale would return on Ethereum. It trades mostly off-chain there, so we do not measure it on-chain.
- One of its chains is not among the 3 we read.
- Whether it can be held without a company. We have no sourced answer yet.
- 6 other questions about what it can do have no written answer. Some may not apply to it.

What it actually costs to sell MNT
Selling $100,000 of MNT into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken MNT/USD | 1.11% | $98,894 | 2026-10-08 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps MNT on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Mantle is
Mantle is an Ethereum layer-2 network that began life as BitDAO, a treasury organisation funded largely by the exchange Bybit, and rebranded in 2023 with the MNT token replacing the earlier BIT. It is unusual among rollups for having started with a very large capital reserve rather than needing to raise one.
Technically it is a modular rollup: transaction execution happens on Mantle, but the data availability layer — the part that guarantees anyone can reconstruct the chain's state — is handled by a separate system rather than by posting all data to Ethereum. That reduces costs substantially, which is the point.
That substitution is the trade-off worth naming, because it is usually left out. A rollup that posts its data to Ethereum inherits Ethereum's guarantee that the data will be there; one that uses an external layer inherits that layer's guarantee instead, which is a different and weaker assurance. Whether it matters depends on what you are securing. The other honest observation is that the treasury has been more central to the project's identity than the technology — much of the ecosystem activity has been funded by it, which makes organic demand harder to read.

Our own measurement · measured 8 October 2026
MNT is the native token of Mantle Network, a network built to scale Ethereum that runs the same kind of programs. Fees there are paid in MNT. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

Where MNT lives
On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
