Mantle Launches Ecosystem Gateway on NEAR B.O.S for Streamlined Web3 Access

Mantle, the layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum, has introduced an ecosystem portal on the NEAR Blockchain Operating System (B.O.S). This strategic move aims to establish a centralized entry point into the Mantle ecosystem, facilitating streamlined access and breaking down barriers to Web3 developments. Hosted by the popular Mantle dApp FusionX, the gateway, developed in collaboration with the NEAR community, serves as a comprehensive hub for exploring Mantle applications and consolidating components of leading dApps.

 “Enhancing Accessibility and Composability”

The Mantle ecosystem gateway, accessible through the B.O.S, offers increased accessibility for developers and users alike. It simplifies the discoverability of Mantle applications, bringing together various components of prominent dApps, including the Mantle Bridge, Agni, Ammos, iZiSwap, FusionX, Gamma, Lendle, and soon Pendle, all in one location. This initiative aims to enhance the composability of the Mantle ecosystem, providing a user-friendly and cohesive experience.

 “NEAR Protocol’s Support and Recognition”

NEAR Protocol’s co-founder, Illia Polosukhin, expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the significant traction Mantle has gained since its launch. The Mantle gateway on B.O.S is positioned as a valuable resource for Ethereum and DeFi enthusiasts, providing a centralized location to explore various Mantle apps with resolved bridging, enabling users to engage promptly. Polosukhin highlighted the importance of B.O.S gateways for other Layer-2 scaling solutions (L2s) and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) projects seeking improved discoverability.

  “Dedication to the Open Web and Cross-Pollination”

Mantle’s decision to develop its ecosystem on NEAR reflects a dedication to establishing foundations for the open web. Arjun Kalsy, Head of the Ecosystem at Mantle, expressed pleasure in collaborating with NEAR to introduce leading Mantle dApps to a broader community through the Mantle Ecosystem Gateway on B.O.S. The endeavor aims to provide additional support to the development community and facilitate cross-pollination within respective Web3 communities.

  “Expanding Web3 Potential with B.O.S Partnerships”

The Mantle ecosystem gateway joins a growing list of projects partnering with NEAR B.O.S to unlock the full potential of Web3. The B.O.S has previously initiated a zkEVM gateway for the Polygon ecosystem on NEAR, enhancing accessibility and discoverability for developers and improving the user experience for those exploring Layer-2 ecosystems.

 “NEAR B.O.S: Streamlining Multi-Chain Experiences”

While constructed on NEAR, the B.O.S provides numerous advantages for founders and builders across the entire Web3 ecosystem. The Blockchain Operating System expedites the construction of multi-chain experiences, enabling builders from diverse ecosystems, including EVM projects like Ethereum Layer 2s, to focus on creating excellent products for users without the burden of managing infrastructure. This partnership equips developers with new capabilities, allowing them to craft apps that can quickly reach a broader user base.
