Mantis Airdrop: tasks and status

MANTIS (Multi-chain Agnostic Normalised Trust-minimised Intent Settlement) is the first protocol designed to be a vertically integrated intent pipeline, complete with expression, execution, and settlement. It recognises that cross-domain intent settlement interfaces closely with cross-domain Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), an under-explored space. The thesis is that interoperability between blockchain domains provides a widened solution space which introduces significant value of choice manifested in the form of cross-domain MEV and better outcomes for the user. Previously, the ability to combine verifiable multi-domain execution with credible commitments was not possible. However, due to the cross-ecosystem InterBlockchain Communication (IBC) Protocol, we now have a transport mechanism that is robust enough to enable the creation of a protocol like MANTIS. MANTIS is an intent settlement platform that functions as a multi-domain execution layer, with the view that choice creates value in a multi-domain world. Our objective is to understand new forms of cross-domain MEV and create a democratised market for expressing preferences across blockchain domains.
