Mantle, a high-performance distribution and liquidity layer, has announced a strategic integration with the cross-chain DeFi aggregation platform Infinex. This deployment brings Infinex's passkey-first wallet, unified portfolio management, and integrated trading capabilities directly onto the Mantle ecosystem, aiming to significantly enhance user access to Mantle-based assets and decentralized applications.
The integration is designed to offer a streamlined, intuitive interface where users can discover liquidity, manage portfolios, and execute DeFi strategies seamlessly across multiple blockchain networks. By aggregating functions typically scattered across different applications, Infinex pools liquidity from various protocols and consolidates actions like swaps, cross-chain bridging, and yield-farming opportunities into a single experience. This removes the friction of navigating fragmented interfaces, making it easier for both newcomers and experienced traders to engage with Mantle-native tokens and dApps.
For users, the practical benefits include: seamless token swaps with optimized routing for the best prices and minimal slippage; integrated cross-chain asset transfers that eliminate the need for separate bridging interfaces; and a unified dashboard for accessing and automating various yield-generating strategies, including staking, lending, and liquidity provision.
Strategically, this partnership extends Mantle's visibility beyond its native ecosystem and facilitates deeper, more efficient liquidity flows across chains. It supports Mantle's mission to act as a premier distribution layer connecting traditional finance (TradFi) and institutions with on-chain liquidity and real-world assets (RWAs). The integration is seen as a key driver for increasing on-chain activity, trading volume, and user adoption.
Mantle's ecosystem, which claims over $4 billion in community-owned assets, is anchored by its native token $MNT and includes core projects like mETH, fBTC, and MI4, alongside partnerships with leading issuers such as Ethena (USDe), Ondo (USDY), OP-Succinct, and EigenLayer. The Infinex integration aims to provide broader access to this growing catalog of institutionally-minded assets.
From Infinex's perspective, the platform—which supports over 20 chains and emphasizes a user-friendly, CEX-like experience with passkey authentication—gains access to Mantle's expanding high-performance ecosystem. Together, both projects aim to lower the technical barriers to DeFi participation and empower a wider range of users, from crypto-native traders to mainstream entrants.
