SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2023 / After the failure of big banks, people witnessed the limitations of trust with the existing financial system. Now more than ever marks an important time to empower users to store and access their funds in a non-custodial and private manner through web3. Therefore, Manta Network is excited to make this impact through the launch of MantaPay on Calamari.
After years of building and testing, rounds of community feedback reviews, and updates on cryptographic optimization and frontend design, the product is ready to release to the web3 world, starting within the Kusama ecosystem. Manta witnessed over 150,000+ private transactions take place on the testnet, and thousands of pieces of valuable feedback were provided to help improve the MantaPay product before its launch. To celebrate this launch, Manta will announce a series of early user opportunities, activities, airdrops, and other incentivized programs that will help drive the adoption of on-chain privacy.
To get started with MantaPay, two tools are required:
Once ready, head over to the MantaPay app and follow the instructions here.
MantaPay supports various cryptoassets on its private payment system:
In a proactive stance to address regulatory ambiguity, MantaPay doesn't support users within specific regions, including the U.S., China, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Myanmar (Burma), the regions of Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk. Only users in certain jurisdictions can access the application.
Why MantaPay
MantaPay uses ZKP to guarantee that transfers are carried out in accordance with a structured protocol called 'circuit' while maintaining the privacy of sensitive data.
The sensitive information acts as a witness in a ZKP system rather than publishing directly on-chain, ensuring the protocol is maintained correctly and no private data is leaked. The ledger then tests the resulting ZKP's verify function against the inputs from the public and, if it succeeds, publishes the transaction. MantaPay has optimized this entire process for the ZK circuit generation and verification.
MantaPay leverages the Poseidon hash to deliver the fastest prover speed of any layer one network, allowing users to generate a ZKP in around 2 seconds. The protocol uses a bring-your-own-token model, which allows privatization of various fungible and non-fungible tokens. It provides a permanent and reusable private address system, zkAddresses, to provide users with the convenience of a wallet interface and privacy through ZKP.
