Launched in 2023, Mantle is governed by its token holder community through the Mantle Governance process. The network is designed with a modular architecture that separates execution, consensus, and data availability layers. This is to improve performance while retaining Ethereum’s security features. Governance decisions are made through an on-chain voting system, where proposals are enacted based on majority support from participating token holders.
MNT serves as the native gas token for transaction fees on Mantle and as the governance token for Mantle DAO, enabling holders to propose and vote on protocol changes. According to Mantle, the MNT token also powers staking and incentive mechanisms to support network growth and participation. The total supply is capped at 6.219 billion MNT, with allocations for ecosystem development, governance, and treasury purposes as outlined in Mantle’s governance framework.
“Mantle’s modular approach to scaling Ethereum, combined with its community-driven governance model, aligns with our vision of a decentralised economy. We are pleased to add MNT to our diverse range of digital assets available for trade,” said Anoush Bhasin, Head of Listings at Bitfinex.

Trading is planned to commence at approximately 2:00 PM UTC on 28/08/2025, contingent upon liquidity requirements being met.
