More utilities = more users. A user-centric approach should be the top priority of any ecosystem. It seems that the Application Layer on @Mantle_Official is in good shape. Top insights about this layer:🧵🔽

@FunctionBTC @mETHProtocol @0xMantleEco @MantleIntern_ Mantle Playbook was really an attractive subject. In case you missed what Mantle Network is supposed to solve, feel free to pay a visit. In summary: 1. $MNT usage is high = good for holders 2. Mantle TVL is still low, but they have all contributors to fix that

TVL ranking on Mantle: + Native dApps: @MerchantMoe_xyz, @Agnidex, @lendlexyz, @methlabxyz + Multi-chain dApps: @TreehouseFi, @StargateFinance, @OndoFinance, @InitCapital_, @pendle_fi, @compoundfinance The good news is DEX volume shows positive signs of bouncing back.

▸ Bybit: The forgotten puzzle It's a big miss when I forgot @Bybit_Official - one of the major forces to push TVL on Mantle. Mantle - Bybit is the perfect DeFi - TradFi connection, just like Binance - BNB Chain. Campaigns like EcoGalaxy: Mantle Surge is what keep users on-chain.

Moreover, a new team member onboarded. "The idea behind MI4 was simple: to bring the most fundamental DeFi yields to traditional investors," said @BoredZooooe. Just imagine that Mantle will be like ETH-native yield pathways that meet institutions.

With mETH at the core, MI4 will definitely be a perfect boost for Mantle Network. Backers revealed: @Securitize - the one behind BlackRock’s BUIDL. Set blue chips aside, MI4 offers a diversified basket while unlocking ETH-native yield in an institutional-ready format, including mETH.

▸ Gaming: Mantle Game Fest Week 3 + 50k MNT reward for Week 3 + only 2 weeks left This week marks the debut of a cozy game - @SpotZero_Game. Traditional gameplay and extraordinary art.

▸ Cookathon: the haven for builders A 6-month hackathon featuring the emerging Mantle builder community. $15k each month. Each Cook will onboard a different name within the Mantle infra builders. S1 features @thirdweb - a full-stack web3 development platform.
