Mantle Ecosystem Accelerates Rapidly as Global Hackathon Surpasses 900+ Developer Registrations
SINGAPORE, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In under two months, Mantle has entered a phase of unprecedented ecosystem acceleration. Registrations for the Mantle Global Hackathon 2025–2026 have now exceeded 900 registrants, coinciding with a wave of major ecosystem advancements that reinforce Mantle's position as one of the most promising next-generation leaders in the RWA (Real-World Asset) narrative. Ecosystem "MoMNTum": Mantle's Global Liquidity Base is Taking Shape In the past several weeks alone, Mantle has made significant strides in expanding and deepening its on-chain liquidity foundation:
- Deep technical and liquidity integration with USDT0, strengthening Mantle's native stablecoin liquidity layer and foundation as a critical pillar for institutional-grade RWA settlement and global on-chain finance.
- Expansion of RWAs and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) partners with Aave, xStocks, Anchorage Digital, Questflow and more on Mantle, bringing verifiable, programmable, scalable, institutional-grade liquidity and tokenized real-world assets on-chain to both institutions and retail users.
Together, these developments through strong partnership with Bybit establish Mantle as the core distribution layer connecting traditional finance (TradFi) and on-chain liquidity required for RWAs, AI-powered applications, and next-generation DeFi to scale sustainably. This forms a durable long-term base for Mantle's ecosystem growth.
Meanwhile, the utility of MNT continues to rise, driven by integrations across Bybit and other ecosystem partners, evolving from a pure gas asset into a multi-dimensional utility and credit asset powering the full Mantle economy.
