2/ May started with a bang as @MantaNetwork introduced the "Privatize to Maximize" campaign, an incentive program for #MantaPay

3/ users who conduct transactions using #MantaPay will receive a stipend that covers a certain percentage of their gas fee paid. The incentive program will run for four weeks, with the total reward pool of 10,000,000 $KMA. Reward breakdown for each week is visualized below
4/ additionally, there is the #Manta Shield Score Reward, which is designed to further incentivize users to privatize their tokens & participate in the #MantaPay ecosystem. The total reward pool will be set at 10,000,000 $KMA, split equally across the four-week program period
5/ shortly after that, @MantaNetwork entered the @arbitrum ecosystem, enabling on-chain private identity
mantanetwork.medium.com/manta-network-to-enable-on-chain-private-identity-in-arbitrum-ecosystem-eec52fdb8095
6/ what it means exactly is that @MantaNetwork is supporting @arbitrum to roll out a series of Private Soul Bound Tokens (zkSBTs) to provide private on-chain identity verification for #Arbitrum users and its ecosystem
7/ this offers users a decentralized, trustless, and private way to verify their real identities without compromising any information or data leakage about their on-chain activity
8/ just two days later, @MantaNetwork expanded on that by announcing that #ReadON, one of @MantaNetwork’s ecosystem projects deployed on the @arbitrum ecosystem, is enabling support for #zkSBTs to enable private identity verification on its application
9/ since then, users with #zkSBTs such as #zkBAB, the $ARB Early Supporter #zkPass and the #zkGalxe Passport can use those private credentials for verifying their identity on #ReadON. Furthermore, @MantaNetwork in conjunction with @ReadOnMe3 are introducing the #ReadON zkPass

11/ one of many partnership announcements in the past two months was with @CyberConnectHQ in early May with the launch of #zkProfile
mantanetwork.medium.com/manta-network-partners-with-cyberconnect-to-launch-cyberconnect-zkprofile-3c900b9ac49e
12/ the #CyberConnect zkProfile enables any #Web2 or #Web3 applications (mobile or desktop) to verify users’ on-chain data and off-chain data without the need to connect a wallet. Using #zkProfile, applications inside and outside the CyberConnect ecosystem...
13/ ...can identify real users with real on-chain activities. Furthermore, the #zkProfile allows users to interact with #Manta ecosystem projects with privacy, and your long-time-built valuable identity without disclosing your wallet address
14/ @MantaNetwork also supports @LineaBuild in providing on-chain private zkSBTs for private user identity. The @LineaBuild #zkPioneer enables any #Web2 or #Web3 application (mobile & desktop) to verify users’ on-chain data & off-chain data without the need to connect a wallet

16/ we have also seen some healthy adoption of @MantaNetwork's zkBAB #zkSBT across a multitude of top $BNB Chain projects. The #zkBAB serves as an option for users to provide proof of real user identity in a trustless and private manner
17/ @UltiverseDAO, @taskonxyz, @ReadOnMe3, @TheYuliverse, @Web3Go, @zkPass and #LetsMeme will be the first projects in the @BNBChain ecosystem to integrate #zkBAB private identity credentials into their applications
18/ by leveraging #zkBABs, @MantaNetwork enables a decentralized ecosystem of real users, mitigating bot exploitation & Sybil attacks
19/ furthermore, users can verify ownership in a seamless and walletless manner when connecting to their favorite applications in the #Manta ecosystem through the use of Proof Keys
