AssetMantle is an interoperability middleware for building a decentralized infrastructure for, but not limited to, the creator economy. The AssetMantle platform is a set of standardized tools and specifications that can be used to model exchanges and marketplaces by tokenizing, trading, and financing against ‘real-world’ financial assets (such as invoices, receivables purchase agreements, bills of lading/commodities, letters of credit, solar credits, etc.). The Mantle token, represented by $MNTL, is the native token of the AssetMantle ecosystem. $MNTL is a governance and staking token that secures the MantleChain. It also supports MantlePlace (NFT marketplace) transactions: minting, trading, royalties, and fees. Initially, the token will also help bootstrap genesis creators, liquidity provision, and NFT minting and trading activities through retroactive rewards and airdrops.
