# Mantle (MNT)

Mantle is a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution built with a modular architecture. It combines an optimistic rollup protocol with EigenDA for data availability, delivering low fees and high security while maintaining full EVM compatibility. Mantle separates core blockchain functions into specialized modules for optimal performance.

### Key Features

* **Full EVM Compatibility**: Deploy Ethereum smart contracts without modification
* **Modular Architecture**: Separates execution, data availability, and settlement layers
* **EigenDA Integration**: First L2 to use EigenDA for efficient data availability
* **MNT Native Token**: Uses MNT for gas fees and governance
* **Low Transaction Fees**: Significantly cheaper than Ethereum mainnet
* **Ethereum Security**: Inherits security from Ethereum L1 through optimistic rollups
* **7-Day Dispute Window**: Fraud proof period for transaction finality
* **High Throughput**: Designed for 500+ TPS with modular scaling

## Quickstart

In this section, you will learn how to make your first call with either:

* Axios
* Python

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before you begin, you must have already installed `npm` or `yarn` on your local machine (for the Axios example) or Python and pip (for the Python example).&#x20;

Refer to:

* [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm)
* [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install)
  {% endhint %}

### Quickstart with Axios

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Setup project

Create and initialize a new project:

```bash
mkdir mantle-api-quickstart
cd mantle-api-quickstart
npm init --yes
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Install Axios

```bash
npm install axios
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create file

Create a new file named `index.js`. This is where you will make your first call.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set ES module type

Set the ES module `"type": "module"` in your `package.json`.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add code

Add the following code to `index.js`:

```javascript
import axios from 'axios';

const data = JSON.stringify({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_blockNumber",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"
});

const config = {
    method: 'post',
    url: 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    data: data
};

axios(config)
    .then(response => console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data)))
    .catch(error => console.log(error));
```

Replace `<ACCESS-TOKEN>` with your actual access token from GetBlock.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Run the script

```bash
node index.js
```

Expected output (example):

```json
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": "0x3f67f8"
}
```

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Quickstart with Python and Requests

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Setup the project directory

```bash
mkdir mantle-api-quickstart
cd mantle-api-quickstart
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create and activate a virtual environment

```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# On Windows, use venv\Scripts\activate
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Install requests

```bash
pip install requests
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create script

Create a file called `main.py` with the following content:

```python
import requests
import json

url = "https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/"

payload = json.dumps({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_blockNumber",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"
})

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
```

Replace `<ACCESS-TOKEN>` with your actual access token from GetBlock.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Run the script

```bash
python main.py
```

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
