MantleLetter January 2023
The Month of January saw the launch of the long-awaited MantlePlace platform, gaining over 40,000+ sign-ups within the first month. The Mantle team also combined forces with QuickSwap & Versa games to introduce MNTL tokens to the Polygon ecosystem. This cross-collaborative effort should bring more attention to AssetMantle within the Polygon ecosystem & open the door for future collaborations.
