The project received a lot of attention after Binance Labs announced its strategic investment in Manta Network for Web3 Privacy on February 17.
Binance Labs will support Manta‘s efforts as they continue to build innovative products, services, and technologies that enable security on a decentralized chain. Manta’s Dolphin pilot network features will be rolled out on the Calamari Network first in a service called MariPay. At launch, MariPay will be able to privatize various parachain assets on Kusama, including KSM and Calamaris native asset, KMA.
Manta is currently working with various parachains to achieve interoperability to privatize the assets of their projects.
