TVL.<\/li>\n<li>Mantle\u2019s transaction volumes also soared, with hundreds of thousands of daily transactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mantle Network\u2019s native token, MNT, surged to a record all-time high of $1.77 on September 17, 2025, driven by the successful completion of its mainnet upgrade to a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup architecture in a landmark development for Ethereum\u2019s Layer 2 ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>This price gain comes as other cryptocurrencies like <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/cake-price-surges-as-pancakeswap-adds-btc-eth-predictions\/\">PancakeSwap<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/filecoin-price-forecast-fil-retests-2-60-as-altcoins-rise\/\">Filecoin<\/a> also edge higher.<\/p>\n<h2>Mantle completes ZK rollup upgrade<\/h2>\n<p>Mantle\u2019s transition from an optimistic rollup to a full ZK rollup represents a pivotal evolution in its infrastructure with the upgrade, enabling the network to generate validity proofs for state transitions without disclosing underlying data, thereby bolstering security and reducing reliance on fraud-proof challenges.<\/p>\n<p>This shift addresses longstanding limitations of optimistic models, where transactions assume validity until contested, potentially delaying finality.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith today\u2019s mainnet upgrade, the journey is complete: Mantle is now the world\u2019s largest ZK rollup by TVL, with over $2 billion secured by Succinct\u2019s technology,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.succinct.xyz\/mantle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Edward Li, growth and business development lead at Succinct.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mantle\u2019s total value locked (TVL) stood at approximately $218 million prior to the upgrade as\u00a0 post-implementation having ballooned to over $2 billion, cementing its status as the world\u2019s largest ZK rollup by this metric.<\/p>\n<p>By incorporating EigenLayer\u2019s , Mantle ensures robust decentralization without overburdening the base chain, a hybrid approach that has drawn praise from developers seeking EVM-compatible environments.<\/p>\n<h2>Mantle price outlook and token performance<\/h2>\n<p>The announcement catalyzed an immediate price rally for Mantle, with MNT climbing over 15% to breach its previous peak of $1.68 set last month.<\/p>\n<p>According to trading data from major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, MNT\u2019s market capitalization surpassed $5.4 billion, ranking it among the top 30 cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts have also related the price surge to a number of factors, like renewed institutional interest in ZK technologies amid Ethereum\u2019s Dencun upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Mantle\u2019s ecosystem incentives, including yield-bearing stablecoins like mETH and upcoming products such as crypto index funds, also boosted price.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336396\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336396\" class=\"wp-caption

Mantle\u2019s price chart, the cryptocurrency trades around $1.64, slightly lower than the $1.77 all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>Selling pressure contributed to the decline in MNT price.<\/p>\n<p>However, bulls are targeting a new ATH amid a bull flag pattern as Mantle\u2019s ZK framework unlocks cross-rollup interoperability.<\/p>\n<p>With over 5.86 million active accounts already, predictions suggest total value locked could double by year-end, driven by partnerships with EigenLayer and Succinct.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless broader market challenges might persist, including competition from established ZK players like Polygon zkEVM and potential regulatory scrutiny on restaking mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the price levels to watch could include $1.40 and $1.09.<\/p>\n<div
