Investment thesis

Mantle operates an Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain ecosystem and runs the Mantle EcoFund, a $200M catalyzed capital pool aimed at driving ecosystem growth by backing transformative crypto/Web3 projects. The fund accesses deal flow through a network of around 20 leading venture capital firms, including Polychain and Dragonfly, and is supported strategically by Mirana Ventures, which brings venture capital expertise from investing across 30+ funds. Bybit's involvement bolsters liquidity and DeFi-CeFi interoperability, including yield-bearing collateral, fiat on/off ramps, and bridging on-chain and centralized-exchange yield opportunities.
