Manta Pacific has moved past Base to become the fourth largest layer 2 scaling solution in the market. The total value locked (TVL) of the network soared past $840 million.
Recent data from L2Beat show that Base, an Ethereum layer 2 solution backed by Coinbase, has lost its spot as the fourth largest scaling network and currently controls 3.4% of the total market share.
The TVL on Manta Pacific surged 13.62% and currently stands at $851 million. This means the network now controls 3.83% of the market share displacing Base, whose TVL stands at $756 million.
The platform, which was rolled out four months ago, is rated among the fastest-growing layer 2 networks after it moved from $10 million in TVL to over $850 million.
Manta Pacific now boasts of 180,000 daily transactions and over 570,000 wallet addresses. What’s more, the network continues its explosive growth based on the “New Paradigm Campaign” which bridges networks and projects.
