The exchange introduced a market maker program tailored to the requirements of large-scale traders. With low fees and rebates as high as -0.01%, the program provided conditions for high-frequency trading, drawing professional traders to the platform. Institutional loans also became a cornerstone for building trust within the professional community, enabling large-scale transactions.

The platform’s technical infrastructure also contributed, with features such as colocation to reduce latency, sub-accounts for strategy diversification, and a robust API supporting its services for institutional clients.

The introduction of a new affiliate program contributed by engaging communities of retail traders, supporting user acquisition, and enhancing trading activity, which played a role in WhiteBIT’s strong performance.

Currently, the exchange serves over 1,300 institutional clients.

Expanding Global Reach

Today, over 30 million people worldwide use services and products from the WhiteBIT Group holding. These include the centralized exchange WhiteBIT, the crypto payment solution Whitepay, the decentralized exchange WhiteSwap, the NFT marketplace white.market, and the gaming platform Pocket Rocket. Additionally, WhiteBIT Group encompasses Whitechain, its proprietary blockchain, and WhiteBIT Coin (WBT), which has experienced 349.39% growth over the year.

With 600+ trading pairs and more than 300 digital assets, WhiteBIT continues to strengthen its competitive edge in the global market.

In a recent interview, CEO Volodymyr Nosov confirmed WhiteBIT’s plans to enter the US market.

Commitment to Security

WhiteBIT stands out as one of the most secure cryptocurrency exchanges globally. Ranked among top 5 in security by CER.live, it is the first crypto exchange to achieve the highest-level Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) certification.

The platform also holds a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification, safeguarding customer payment information, and has been recognized by Hacken for excellence in cybersecurity.

Mantle Network Advances Technical Roadmap As The First ZK Validity Rollup with Succinct’s SP1

Singapore, Singapore, December 19th, 2024, Chainwire

Succinct alliance establishes Mantle Network as highest-TVL ZK validity rollup

Mantle Network, an Ethereum layer 2 (L2) known for its modular design and being the first adopter of EigenLayer’s EigenDA, today announced its architectural transition to a zero-knowledge (ZK) validity rollup through an industry-first alliance with Succinct. Combining its modular architecture, data availability solutions through EigenDA, and now zero-knowledge proofs via SP1, Mantle Network embarks on creating the liquidity chain for institutional-grade settlement and value transfer in the crypto ecosystem. 

Since Mantle Network’s mainnet launch on July 7, 2023, the burgeoning on-chain ecosystem has grown to become a top 5 L2 by total value locked (TVL) with $2.2 billion and counting. The network has processed 175 million on-chain transactions, seen 1.4 million smart contracts deployed, connected to 10 million unique wallet addresses and maintained 4.9 million monthly active wallet addresses since its inception. Mantle Network continues to drive capital efficiency in the on-chain economy with the integration of ZK validity rollup technology, providing crucial next-generation technical infrastructure to support and amplify secure growth of high-value asset settlements. Backed by one of the largest community-owned treasuries globally with $4.3 billion in asset reserves, Mantle Network’s technical roadmap directly supports its vision of accelerating seamless, secure and efficient movement of institutional capital across traditional and decentralized markets.

Accelerating Institutional-Grade Asset Settlements Through ZK Validity Innovation

With the testnet launch in Q1 2025 with intention towards mainnet upgrade, Mantle Network is set to evolve from an optimistic rollup model to a ZK validity rollup through Succinct’s SP1. This architectural change drastically reduces chain finality from seven days to one hour – enabling fast institutional-grade asset settlements that support and address capital efficiency opportunities throughout traditional finance and the blockchain industry.

The transformative efficiency gains of ZK validity proofs have garnered significant market traction. Already powering applications with a cumulative $4.4 billion capital across leading ZK L2 ecosystems, Mantle Network maintains a bullish belief in the advancement of ZK technology to further the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Performance benefits can allow Mantle’s flagship assets, such as $mETH, $cmETH and $FBTC, with an aggregate $3.9 billion TVL, to proliferate across the wider decentralized finance (DeFi) domain. This enables better swap market spreads, lower slippage, deeper money markets, improved interest rates, and broader asset availability. Market intermediaries can rapidly rebalance inventories between Mantle Network (Layer 2) and Ethereum (Layer 1), and users can quickly move permissionlessly to access a unique set of onward routes and integrations.

Key Technical Benefits

The strategic integration of Succinct’s SP1 offers a suite of advanced features catered to developers and users:

  • Fast Finality: Boasting a 168x improvement in bridging capabilities, transactions achieve finality in one hour – enabling quick withdrawals and seamless operations to redefine user experience. 
  • EVM Equivalence: Succinct’s SP1 full EVM bytecode compatibility ensures developers can leverage existing Ethereum tooling and smart contracts without compromise. 
  • Cost Efficiency: Prover fees integrated into transaction costs eliminate additional financial burdens for rollup teams with minimal cost impact to users, as low as fractions of a cent per transaction.
  • Enabling a Multi-Chain Future: The advancement reaffirms Mantle Network’s alignment with Ethereum’s security ethos while laying the groundwork for cross-rollup interoperability at scale through ZK proofs.

Driving the Future of ZK Rollups

OP Succinct combines the power of Succinct’s SP1 zkVM with the modularity of the OP Stack, bridging the gap between user-friendly optimistic rollups and complex zero-knowledge technology. The innovation promotes interoperability, flexibility, and standardization that addresses Ethereum’s existing challenges. By adopting ZK validity proofs, Mantle Network transactions are cryptographically verified to be correctly sequenced and settled. This higher tier of security allows everyone to more easily and safely explore frontier areas that enhance the Ethereum experience — such as supporting more advanced application logic, enabling cross-chain actions, improving latency, and adopting multi-sequencer architectures.

Joshua Cheong, Product Lead at Mantle said: “In my previous banking career, I witnessed traditional banking infrastructure and legacy banking business models struggle to keep up with the emergence of FinTech disruptors built with cloud services that boast cost advantages. The introduction of programmable blockchains along with stablecoins heralds the next natural step in disruption of financial services – being even more operationally efficient and resilient. The integration of Succinct’s SP1 marks a defining chapter in Mantle Network’s strategic blockchain journey to support banking for the next generation. By uniting zero-knowledge proofs with the proven versatility of the OP Stack, we’re not just evolving as a Layer-2 solution – we’re setting a new benchmark for institutional-grade Ethereum scalability that enables highly efficient and unparalleled security for high-value transactions at the cost of a few cents with 24/7 settlements.” 

Uma Roy, CEO and Co-Founder at Succinct added: “Succinct’s SP1 empowers any developer to make ZK applications by just writing Rust, accelerating the adoption of ZK and verifiable computation. With OP Succinct, we can propel any OP Stack rollup into the future by providing fast finality with no downsides. By merging SP1’s blazing fast performance with Mantle’s progressive vision, we’re enabling developers to reimagine decentralized applications with unprecedented speed, efficiency, and reliability. Together, we’re building the foundation for Ethereum’s interconnected and scalable future.”  

A Unified Ethereum Ecosystem

The synergy of fast finality, Ethereum-standard compatibility, and cost efficiency promises a profound impact, reducing fragmentation and unlocking the potential for next-generation decentralized applications (dApps). 

The transition enhances Mantle Network’s commitment to Ethereum’s decentralized security model as an ETH-aligned Layer 2, enabling a more cohesive ecosystem with seamless asset and information flows. Mantle Network is now poised to be a future-ready L2 chain as a native ZK rollup.

As the Ethereum landscape evolves, Mantle Network’s adoption of Succinct’s SP1 positions it as a leader in scalability and innovation. Developers, users, and ecosystem partners can look forward to a faster, more secure, and interconnected Ethereum future. 

About Succinct

Succinct brings zero-knowledge proofs to any developer with SP1—the world’s fastest zkVM. Succinct’s Decentralized Prover Network provides affordable and reliable proof generation infrastructure for rollups, bridges, coprocessors and other applications using ZKPs. SP1 is used by the most renowned teams in the industry, including Celestia, Avail, Lido, Polygon, AggLayer and many more.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, December 19th, 2024, Chainwire

Marinade Finance Makes Strategic Investment in SuperSol to Boost Solana’s Growth and Enhance Layer-2 Capabilities. 

The Solana ecosystem has been witnessing rapid growth and evolution, with demand for scalability, performance, and real-time capabilities reaching new heights. This growth is driven not only by traditional decentralized finance (DeFi) applications but also by the rise of emerging sectors like GameFi (gaming on blockchain) and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). In response to these expanding needs, Marinade Finance, a prominent self-custodial staking protocol on the Solana network, has made a strategic investment in SuperSol, the first native Layer-2 scaling solution for Solana. Marinade enables SOL holders to automatically delegate their tokens to top-performing validators in a competitive open marketplace, optimizing yields by allowing validators to share fees directly with stakers.

Strengthening Solana’s Infrastructure for a New Era

SuperSol, designed to significantly enhance Solana’s scalability and performance, aims to address the growing demand for efficient and reliable infrastructure that can support the next wave of decentralized applications (dApps). With a primary focus on sectors such as GameFi, which combines gaming with decentralized finance, and DePIN, which utilizes decentralized networks for physical infrastructure, SuperSol is poised to become a critical component in the future of the Solana blockchain.

The investment by Marinade Finance is seen as a crucial move to help SuperSol accelerate its development and adoption. By supporting innovations like SuperSol, Marinade is positioning itself at the forefront of the efforts to improve Solana’s Layer-1 and Layer-2 capabilities, ensuring that the network can handle the next generation of dApps and meet the increasing demand for high-performance, low-cost, and scalable solutions.

The Role of Marinade Finance in the Solana Ecosystem

Founded in 2021, Marinade Finance has quickly established itself as one of the most prominent players in the Solana ecosystem. The platform allows users to automatically stake SOL tokens, Solana’s native cryptocurrency, while receiving mSOL, a liquid staking derivative. mSOL allows users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity, enabling them to participate in other DeFi activities without locking their assets.

Through this innovative approach to staking, Marinade Finance has significantly contributed to the overall growth and decentralization of the Solana network. By providing liquidity to staked assets, Marinade enables participants to earn staking rewards without locking their assets, thereby supporting both network security and a more dynamic ecosystem for decentralized finance.

In addition to its core offering, Marinade has become an active participant in broader efforts to enhance Solana’s ecosystem. Its decision to invest in SuperSol is in line with its long-term vision to support projects that aim to improve Solana’s scalability and bring real-world use cases to life.

SuperSol: A Key Enabler for the Future of GameFi and DePIN

The main challenge facing blockchain networks like Solana has always been the need to scale in a way that maintains high throughput while minimizing costs. Solana’s high-speed and low-cost architecture has made it a popular choice for developers, but as adoption grows and more applications are built on the network, there is an increasing need for solutions that can handle even more transactions without compromising performance.

This is where SuperSol comes into play. SuperSol is a Layer-2 scaling solution that builds on top of Solana’s existing architecture to offer increased scalability and enhanced performance. By utilizing SuperSol, developers will be able to create more efficient applications, particularly in GameFi and DePIN – two sectors experiencing explosive growth.

In the GameFi space, where games and financial incentives are integrated on the blockchain, the need for high-speed transactions is paramount. Traditional gaming engines often struggle to meet the performance demands of real-time, immersive environments, but Layer-2 solutions like SuperSol can help ensure that these games run smoothly and cost-effectively on the Solana network.

Similarly, in the rapidly growing DePIN sector, which includes applications focused on decentralizing physical infrastructure such as networks, energy grids, and other assets, scalability is critical. SuperSol’s advanced Layer-2 architecture is designed to handle the transaction loads and data requirements of such applications, making it an ideal fit for this emerging market.

A Strategic Partnership with Long-Term Impact

While the financial details of the investment have not been disclosed, Marinade’s support for SuperSol is more than just a monetary contribution – it’s a strategic partnership aimed at fostering innovation and ensuring the continued growth of Solana’s ecosystem. By investing in projects like SuperSol, Marinade is positioning itself as a key player in the infrastructure and scalability efforts that will shape the future of blockchain technology.

The collaboration between Marinade Finance and SuperSol is a testament to the growing synergies within the Solana ecosystem. As Solana continues to attract developers and projects across a variety of sectors, the combination of robust staking solutions and scalable infrastructure will be key to meeting the demands of an increasingly complex and diverse decentralized economy.

Looking Ahead: Solana’s Continued Evolution

As Solana’s ecosystem matures, the need for effective Layer-2 scaling solutions will only become more pressing. SuperSol’s focus on improving Solana’s real-time performance and scalability will help address these challenges head-on, making Solana an even more attractive option for developers and users alike.

The strategic investment by Marinade Finance signals confidence in SuperSol’s vision and the potential impact it will have on the network. It also highlights Marinade’s commitment to not only providing liquidity solutions through its liquid staking protocol but also actively contributing to the broader development of Solana’s infrastructure.
