Bybit, Mantle, and Almanak Forge Strategic Alliance to Deploy AI-Powered Quantitative Strategies On-Chain

Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a major strategic partnership with Mantle Network and AI quant platform Almanak. The collaboration, announced on December 10, 2025, aims to bring sophisticated, AI-managed quantitative trading strategies on-chain at a global scale, creating a seamless liquidity loop between centralized and decentralized finance.

The partnership follows Almanak's recent spot listing on Bybit. As part of the integration, Almanak will deploy its token on the Mantle Network, launch a dedicated liquidity pool, and directly integrate its no-code, multi-agent AI strategy-building engine into Mantle's ecosystem. This move is designed to give Almanak's users access to Mantle's high-performance, low-cost execution environment, which is critical for running complex algorithmic strategies like high-frequency rebalancing and automated multi-step simulations.

"Almanak brings a new dimension of intelligent liquidity to Mantle," said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle and Head of Spot at Bybit. "By combining AI-driven strategy creation with Mantle's high-speed execution layer and Bybit's global liquidity, we're unlocking an integrated financial environment where sophisticated automation becomes accessible to users and institutions worldwide."

The alliance leverages the strengths of all three entities: Almanak's AI "Swarm" agents for strategy creation, Mantle's scalable Layer 2 infrastructure for low-fee, high-throughput on-chain execution, and Bybit's global exchange platform serving over 70 million users as a liquidity bridge. The goal is to establish a unified framework for deploying quantitative strategies in what the partners describe as a "frictionless, intelligent, liquid, multi-chain environment."

Neo, CEO of Almanak, emphasized the importance of infrastructure, stating, "Deploying AI strategies on Mantle gives our users the high-performance environment required for today's models. Low-cost, scalable infrastructure enables more complex simulation, faster iteration, and more efficient execution. Mantle amplifies what AI-powered DeFi can achieve."

This collaboration is positioned as a significant step in scaling AI-driven finance, aiming to strengthen Mantle's role as a leading chain for algorithmic and AI-native DeFi innovation while providing Bybit's vast user base with streamlined access to advanced, automated trading tools.
