Quack AI × @Mantle_Official Q402 is officially expanding into the Mantle ecosystem. Why Mantle? Because stablecoin rails need infrastructure that treats settlement as a first-class primitive. Mantle's high-performance architecture — optimized for TradFi, RWAs, and on-chain liquidity — gives Q402 exactly what gasless settlement needs: fast finality, native EIP-7702 support, and an ecosystem built for institutional throughput. What's live today on Mantle Network: • Zero Gas Barrier: Settle USDC/USDT transfers without holding MNT. A single EIP-712 signature — no wallet migration, no gas top-ups. • Sign-to-Pay Architecture: Mantle's native EIP-7702 support means existing EOAs work as-is — MetaMask and OKX Wallet participate out of the box. • Institutional-Grade Finality: Mantle's sub-second block times and Ethereum-aligned security give Q402 the settlement backbone needed for real-world payment flows. Execution should feel native. Settlement should be verifiable. Gas should never be the barrier. Welcome to gasless stablecoin rails on Mantle. 🔗

An update on the rsETH incident involving @KelpDAO. To our Mantle community, ecosystem builders, and partners, following our initial statement earlier this week, we want to share where things stand, what has been confirmed, and how we are moving forward. 1. Mantle remains fully secure. Our underlying network, official bridges, and core assets have not been compromised. @LayerZero_Core has confirmed in its KelpDAO Incident Statement that the exploit was isolated entirely to KelpDAO's rsETH configuration, with zero contagion to any other asset or application. The attacker did not interact with Mantle contracts or Mantle markets at any point. The localized liquidity pressure observed in recent days reflects spillover from that third-party cross-chain vulnerability, not any issue with Mantle's infrastructure. The protective pauses outlined in our prior statement remain in place and will be lifted once our team and ecosystem partners confirm it is appropriate to do so. 2. The Mantle ecosystem is resilient. Since April 18, capital has been steadily flowing back into the Mantle ecosystem. Onchain data shows cumulative repayments across core USD assets have reached approximately $204 million within 48 hours. Liquidity conditions continue to normalize, and the strength of the recovery speaks to the depth and resilience of the Mantle community. 3. Mantle is standing together with our ecosystem. Mantle is in active coordination and communication with the @aave team and affected protocols on a coordinated recovery plan, including potential treasury participation. We will continue to share meaningful updates as the situation develops. Through moments like these, Web3's strength shows how we stand together. That's where we are, and where we'll remain. We stand firmly with our builders. Thank you for standing with us. Stay safe.

AI Agents are evolving from assistants into autonomous on-chain actors. On May 24, OpenBuild and Mantle will host the Mantle Turing Test Hackathon 2026 Meetup in Shanghai, bringing together AI builders, Web3 developers, and creators exploring the future of Agentic AI × Web3. @Mantle_Official @0xMantle @0xMantleCN 💰 $120,000 prize pool ⚡ AI Trading, RWA, DevTools, Agentic Wallets, and more 🤝 Team matching and project networking This is not just a hackathon. It is an experiment in autonomous AI on-chain. 🗓 May 24, 2026 📍 Shanghai 🔗 #Mantle# #AI# #Web3# #Hackathon# #OpenBuild# #Shanghai# #Layer2# #ZK# #DeFi# #RWA#

A defining moment for real-world assets. The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee. RWAs are closer to a defined regulatory framework than they've ever been, while the structural blocker that has kept institutional capital from flowing onchain at scale is being addressed. Mantle is the distribution layer this unlocks, connecting traditional finance to onchain liquidity. With this clarity, the path RWAs take from issuance to settlement runs through one stack. Where real-world finance flows.

Session 2 at AEF Seoul 2026: Agent Economy: Autonomous On-chain Markets We will explore what autonomous on-chain markets may look like as the agent economy becomes more interactive, more executable, and more embedded in on-chain systems.

Let's consult the historical record to see what the Aztec society was up to when the Spanish conquered it. First, from Cortes: “They have a most horrid and abominable custom which truly ought to be punished and which until now we have seen in no other part, and this is that, whenever they wish to ask something of the idols, in order that their plea may find more acceptance, they take many girls and boys and even adults, and in the presence of the idols they open their chests while they are still alive and take out their hearts and entrails and burn them before the idols, offering the smoke as sacrifice. Some of us have seen this, and they say it is the most terrible and frightful thing they have ever witnessed… not one year passes in which they do not kill and sacrifice some fifty persons in each temple; and this is done and held as customary… not one year has passed… in which three or four thousand souls have not been sacrificed in this manner.” And now Bernal Diaz del Castillo: “The dismal drum of Huichilobos sounded again, accompanied by conches, horns and trumpet-like instruments. It was a terrifying sound, and when we looked at the tall cue [temple] from which it came we saw our comrades who had been captured in Cortes’ defeat being dragged up the steps to be sacrificed. When they had hauled them up to a small platform in front of the shrine where they kept their accursed idols we saw them put plumes on the heads of many of them; and they made them dance with a sort of fan in front of Huichilobos. Then after they had danced the papas [priests] laid them down on their backs on some narrow stones of sacrifice and, cutting open their chests, drew out their palpitating hearts which they offered to the idols before them.” ... “Every day we saw sacrificed before us three, four or five Indians whose hearts were offered to the idols and their blood plastered on the walls, and their feet, arms and legs of the victims were cut off and eaten… Every wall of this chapel and the whole floor, had become almost black with human blood, and… the stench was worse than in a Spanish slaughter-house.” ... “When we arrived at the great market place, called Tlaltelolco, we were astounded at the number of people and the quantity of merchandise that it contained… Let us begin with the dealers in gold, silver, and precious stones, feathers, mantles, and embroidered goods. Then there were other wares consisting of Indian slaves both men and women; and I say that they bring as many of them to that great market for sale as the Portuguese bring negroes from Guinea…. They brought some of them tied to long poles by means of collars around their necks so they would not escape, and others left loose.” ~~ This is what the Spanish conquered in the name of Christendom - a Stone-Age society consumed with ritualistic human sacrifice, cannibalism and slavery.
