FAQs
What is Manta Network?
Manta Network is the layer one
blockchain that brings programmable privacy to web3 using zero-knowledge proofs. Its
suite of core products and technologies, including zkNFTs and MantaPay, offers
user-friendly access to powerful ZK-enabled use cases.
Leveraging the Poseidon hash and its own cryptographic innovations, Manta Network
offers the fastest prover speed of any ZK network.
The project is created by a team of experienced founders from prestigious institutions like Harvard, MIT, and Algorand. Manta Network has received investments from some of the top web3 investment funds, including Binance Labs and Polychain, and has grown through participation in the best web3 accelerators, including Alliance DAO and Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator. Manta Network is poised to bring the next generation of web3 users and usher in a new chapter of privacy-focused web3 applications.

What is a zero-knowledge proof?
A zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is a cryptographic technology that allows the truth of
a piece of
information to be verified without revealing the information itself. It's become an
increasingly
important technology in blockchain, cryptocurrency, and decentralized finance (DeFi)
for enhancing
privacy and security.
It is is a method by which one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that a statement is true without revealing any additional information. This is particularly useful when the information is sensitive and the prover doesn’t want the verifier to have access to it.
To learn more, you can read about ZKPs in the article that Manta Network published on Binance Academy.

Isn't the blockchain already private?
No, public blockchains do not privatize information about your on-chain
interactions. Every transaction
that a user makes on-chain is recorded and publicly viewable by anyone or any entity
with an Internet
connection. By default, the public blockahin offers pseudo-anonymity, which is not
the same as privacy.
Pseudo-anonymity is when a user's identity is not revealed, but their transactions
are still visible
to the public. It is achieved through using a wallet address, which appears as a
random alphanumeric string.
But once the wallet address is linked to a real-world identity, the user's
transactions are no longer anonymous.
Many tools exist to link a wallet address to a real-world identity, and analytics
tools can be used to track
a user's on-chain activity without consent.
Can I build on Manta Network?
Yes, you absolutely can build on Manta Network! Our APIs and SDKs
are friendly for both web3 and web2 developers alike. Unlike with other dapp-focused
chains, building and integrating
with Manta Network does not require a developer to build a decentralized application
from scratch; instead, you can add
Manta's ZK-powered privacy-preservation tools directly into mobile or desktop
applications in both the web2 and web3 space.
Using Proof
Keys, developers can build an
entirely wallet-less user experience for their users.
