Mantle Brings $MNT to Solana with New “Super Portal” Cross-Chain Hub

Mantle today announced a major step in its multi-chain play. The project says its native token $MNT is now live on Solana, unlocked by a new “Mantle Super Portal” that the team calls a cross-chain teleportation hub for moving capital and assets between ecosystems.

“Portal initialized: A new era for the leading distribution layer begins today. $MNT has arrived on Solana. Powered by Mantle Super Portal, our new cross-chain teleportation hub built to accelerate the flow between real-world and internet capital markets,” Mantle wrote in a post announcing the launch, adding that the Super Portal will act as “your unified gateway for cross-ecosystem capital and asset movement.”

Practically, the rollout means users can move $MNT between Ethereum and Solana “instantly, securely, and seamlessly” through Mantle’s bridge interface, enabling native access to the fast, low-latency DeFi applications that live on Solana. Mantle framed the release as more than a simple bridge: it’s an infrastructure play to let $MNT “move and interoperate across chains, global markets, and centralized venues.”

CeDeFi Accelerates

The announcement also ties into a set of partner integrations designed to give $MNT holders immediate ways to use the token on Solana. Byreal, Bybit’s Solana-native on-chain exchange, is listed by Mantle as one of the first destinations where users can trade, swap and provide liquidity using new $MNT pairs such as MNT–USDC. Bybit’s push into Solana with Byreal has been framed as part of the exchange’s broader CeDeFi strategy, marrying centralized liquidity and infrastructure with on-chain DeFi primitives.

There’s also an incentives angle: Mantle highlighted Bybit’s “Alpha” products and a fresh 100,000-token prize pool as part of the campaign to seed liquidity and trading activity for $MNT across both on-chain and centralized venues. Bybit’s own announcement for the MNT Alpha Token Splash confirms a promotional event tied to the token’s expansion. Together, the incentives aim to accelerate a “CeDeFi flywheel” where DeFi yields and exchange-level execution feed one another.

Mantle positioned today’s launch as one step in a longer roadmap. The team noted prior cross-chain integrations (with LayerZero and Hyperliquid) and said Solana is “just the beginning,” framing the Super Portal as foundational infrastructure for a future in which $MNT is truly multi-ecosystem and available “wherever you choose to be.” The broader Mantle project, which bills itself as a liquidity-focused layer built to bridge internet capital markets and traditional finance, has been steadily expanding its tooling and partner list in recent months.

For users who want to try the new flow, Mantle pointed to its Super Portal interface and Byreal’s liquidity positions as the onramps to start moving and deploying $MNT on Solana. Whether the move will meaningfully shift liquidity or just pull short-term attention from yield incentives remains to be seen, but today’s rollout does make Mantle’s thesis, $MNT as a chain-agnostic distribution asset, more concrete and usable across a larger swath of the crypto ecosystem.
