 The ecosystem of layer-2 blockchain solutions powered by zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs welcomes a new player as Manta Network takes its ZK-as-a-service platform live. 
 Manta Pacific is a modular L2 aimed at powering Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-native decentralized applications (DApps) using ZK-proof technology. The platform offers a software <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="development" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/development.html">development</a> kit and ZK library that are touted to provide plug-and-play functionality for developers. 
 Being EVM-native means that apps deployed on Ethereum can be deployed on Manta Pacific and vice versa, while being ZK-enabled provides low gas fees and scalability. Users can also bridge Ethereum to Manta to begin exploring its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="development" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/development.html">development</a> environment.

 With industry peers, including the likes of Consensys’ Linea zkEVM, Polygon zkEVM, Starknet, Coinbase’s Base and zkSync Era, there are a number of ZK-proof L2 solution options available to Web3 developers. 
 Speaking to Cointelegraph following the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="mainnet" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mainnet.html">mainnet</a> launch, Manta Network core contributor Kenny Li said that the different ZK-rollup L2s offer different value propositions that aim to solve significant problems faced by developers. 
 <blockquote>
 “We think that, in the mid- to long term, the market will converge to a small number of available solutions that are focused on making it as easy as possible for developers to build and deploy ZK-enabled applications.” 
 </blockquote> 
 Li added that the Web2 world of technology followed a similar evolution with the success of software-as-a-service models where a plug-and-play approach was taken: 
 <blockquote>
 “This is crucial when zero-knowledge is involved, whereby developers do not have to worry about the infrastructure, as the complexity of cryptography can be abstracted away.” 
 </blockquote> 
 According to the Manta Network core contributor, Manta Pacific has been in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="development" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/development.html">development</a> for nine months, while its testnet launch in July 2023 has seen the creation of 150,000 wallets and over 3.5 million transactions. 
 Manta raised $25 million from investors in July 2023, aimed at scaling the project’s network and use cases with an eye on driving adoption in the Asian market.
