To be honest, there are not many that can really compete in the L2 track now; having solid technology also requires a thick wallet.

Mantle does have some serious skills in this regard—its technical foundation is solid, and more importantly, it has inherited a massive treasury from BitDAO, with the community managing nearly $26 billion in assets. What’s even more important is that this money is not just sitting idly earning interest; it is actively being invested into the ecosystem: funding incentive programs, investing in early-stage projects, and providing subsidies to developers.

This ability to continuously generate resources is indeed rare in L2. In the long run, projects that are supported by ecological construction with funding will increasingly differentiate themselves from those that rely solely on hype.
