Forward Protocol

Manta Network

Forward is providing an innovative solution for non-technical users to launch their dApps on 800+ EVM-compatible blockchains without writing a single line of code. It’s fast, efficient, and user-friendly.
Now, the platform enables deployment on the Manta Pacific Network, a multi-modular ecosystem for ZK applications created by founders from MIT, Harvard, and Algorand.&nbsp;
All you need to do is log into Forward Factory, connect your wallet, choose a dApp template, customize the front end using Forward’s drag-and-drop interface, and deploy it on the Manta Pacific Network.&nbsp;
It’s that simple! And all of this can be done in under 5 minutes. Let’s look at a user’s general process of deploying smart contracts on Manta Network through Forward.
