๐Ÿš€ The MantaPay Launch Part I: Trusted Setup Registration

We're initiating the launch sequence for our first product, MantaPay. To do this, we have to go through the process of the Trusted Setup, which is an activity we want to get you involved in. It takes 3 minutes of your time and the instructions are very straightforward (see instructions here: https://mnt.as/trusted-setup).

I would love to see you guys involved in marking this important milestone in Manta's history. It's been a long process of hard work from the team, and we are in the last stretch. Please let me know if you have any questions. We're excited to flip the switch and operationalize MantaPay.

We are proud to announce that Manta Network has won an award in ZPrize for our contribution to ZKP innovation in WASM prover speed. We have been working alongside Jump Crypto's cryptography team to push this innovation. The results of our work will be open source and provide the foundation for further work and innovation in the ZKP space. We're excited to see how other researchers and projects leverage our development to push the ZKP space forward! ๐Ÿš€

What is the impact of our work?
