# Why Mantle

> Why Perps Agent proves its track record on Mantle.

The proof layer needs to be **cheap, fast, EVM-compatible, and credible**. Mantle hits all four.

## Cheap

Every run writes **two** transactions — a commit and an attestation. At scale that has to be near-free, or it eats into user PnL. Mantle's L2 economics make per-run proof cost negligible.

## Fast

The commit has to land *before* the grid engine is allowed to trade. Slow finality means slow user experience. Mantle gives us seconds-level inclusion, which fits the "confirm in Telegram → trading starts" UX.

## EVM-compatible

The proof layer is a small set of Solidity contracts (commit registry, attestation registry, recall index). EVM compatibility means we get audited tooling, mature wallets, and easy verifiability with standard explorers.

## Credible

Mantle is a public, neutral chain with real users and real liquidity. "Verifiable" only means something if the chain itself is one people trust. Hosting our proofs on a credible L2 is the point.

## Born on Mantle

Perps Agent was built at the Mantle **AI Awakening** hackathon. Mantle is not an afterthought — the design assumes it from day one.
