Manta on the Davos Stage

The strategic significance of participating in the forum

Choosing to speak at Davos, a top global forum, indicates the project’s international strategic layout. The Davos Forum gathers global political, business, and technological leaders. For crypto projects, participating in such forums means striving for mainstream recognition and international attention. Kenny represented the project in the Web3 session, speaking alongside other industry leaders, demonstrating Manta’s position within the ecosystem.

What is Manta Network

Manta Network is a modular blockchain ecosystem with a core focus on privacy protection. The project uses zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology to enable privacy features. Originally launched as a privacy layer on Polkadot (Manta Atlantic), it later evolved into an independent L2 solution. According to the latest information, the project combines ZK L2, Celestia DA, Polygon zkEVM, and other technology stacks, positioning itself to provide privacy and modular blockchain infrastructure.

Market Response and Ecosystem Progress

Price Performance

According to recent news, MANTA experienced a significant surge on January 21. On the Bybit exchange, it increased by 21.21% in the past hour, with reports indicating a 12-15% rise over 24 hours, jumping from around 0.07 to approximately 0.086, with trading volume surpassing $30-40 million. This rally is related to Kenny’s participation in the Davos Forum, ecosystem updates, and other factors.

Recent Project Developments

In addition to attending Davos, Manta Network has made several recent progress:

• Completed the 9th round of Manta CeDeFi user snapshot, with rewards available for claiming since January 21
• Organized an AMA session with the Indonesian community to discuss the project roadmap and future outlook
• Developing the SUPERFORTUNE feature upgrade, with more details to be announced later

These updates demonstrate the project’s active ecosystem building and community engagement.

Summary

Kenny’s participation in the Davos Forum highlights an important step in the project’s internationalization strategy. Coupled with recent price increases, ecosystem updates, and community activities, it reflects growing market interest in this privacy + modular L2 project. However, from a market perspective, the long-term performance of such projects still depends on real-world application deployment and ecosystem development. Future focus should be on the project’s specific business progress following its international forum participation and the actual effects of technical upgrades.
