Mantle Ecosystem Accelerates Rapidly as Global Hackathon Surpasses 900+ Developer Registrations

SINGAPORE, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In under two months, Mantle has entered a phase of unprecedented ecosystem acceleration. Registrations for the Mantle Global Hackathon 2025–2026 have now exceeded 900 registrants, coinciding with a wave of major ecosystem advancements that reinforce Mantle's position as one of the most promising next-generation leaders in the RWA (Real-World Asset) narrative. Ecosystem "MoMNTum": Mantle's Global Liquidity Base is Taking Shape In the past several weeks alone, Mantle has made significant strides in expanding and deepening its on-chain liquidity foundation:

• Deep technical and liquidity integration with USDT0, strengthening Mantle's native stablecoin liquidity layer and foundation as a critical pillar for institutional-grade RWA settlement and global on-chain finance.
• Expansion of RWAs and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) partners with Aave, xStocks, Anchorage Digital, Questflow and more on Mantle, bringing verifiable, programmable, scalable, institutional-grade liquidity and tokenized real-world assets on-chain to both institutions and retail users.

Together, these developments through strong partnership with Bybit establish Mantle as the core distribution layer connecting traditional finance (TradFi) and on-chain liquidity required for RWAs, AI-powered applications, and next-generation DeFi to scale sustainably. This forms a durable long-term base for Mantle's ecosystem growth.

Meanwhile, the utility of MNT continues to rise, driven by integrations across Bybit and other ecosystem partners, evolving from a pure gas asset into a multi-dimensional utility and credit asset powering the full Mantle economy.

Mantle Global Hackathon: A Catalyst for the Next Wave of Builders & Ecosystem Growth

The Mantle Global Hackathon 2025 launched as one of the largest hackathons in the RWA and infrastructure verticals this year, inviting builders worldwide to create the next wave of Mantle-native applications across:

• 3 months
• 6 tracks: RWA / RealFi, DeFi & Composability, AI & Oracles, ZK & Privacy, Infrastructure & Tooling, GameFi & Social
• 17 judges
• $150,000 prize pool

In just under two months, over 900+ builders signed up across 50+ countries.

To identify, support, and accelerate the next generation of Mantle-native builders who will define the next market cycle.

Mantle is committed to a long-term builder-first philosophy:

By backing builders consistently through every market cycle, Mantle is evolving into the premier distribution layer connecting TradFi and on-chain liquidity, where real-world finance flows seamlessly with RWAs and capital.

Mantle Ecosystem Accelerates Rapidly as Global Hackathon Surpasses 900+ Developer Registrations

SYDNEY, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WYBOT, a company at the forefront of advanced pool cleaning solutions, is preparing to release its innovative WYBOT S3 Pool Cleaning Robot to Australian customers this Christmas, marketing it as the perfect festive present. This introduction is expected to enhance current pool maintenance practices, as the WYBOT S3 is the inaugural pool robot worldwide to feature both sophisticated 3D mapping and an integrated self-emptying system, thus establishing a fresh standard for robotic pool care.

Real-Time Positioning, AI Visual Cleaning and Smart cleaning system

The WYBOT S3 utilizes 36 sensors as its fundamental technology, powering both its AI visual cleaning and its underwater 3D mapping capabilities. This advanced setup enables the robot to generate an exceptionally precise three-dimensional model of the swimming pool, ensuring comprehensive and missed-spot-free cleaning. Users can observe the robot's cleaning advancement and its precise route in real-time through trajectory tracking, providing a complete overview of the operation at all times. Upon finishing its task, the automated debris collection system transfers the accumulated dirt into an external, ground-based dustbin, eliminating any requirement for human intervention. Consequently, the robot ensures the pool's immaculate state is preserved, even during extended periods of owner absence, such as holidays.

Incorporating self-reliant solar charging, WYBOT S3 efficiently harnesses renewable energy for an eco-friendly operation. Additionally, its advanced scheduling function allows owners to customize cleaning timetables, ensuring the pool remains in pristine condition at all times, tailored to personal routines.

The WYBOT S3 ushers in authentic intelligent pool maintenance, moving beyond traditional upkeep tasks like manual filter cleaning, manual recharging, and manual adjustments to settings. It significantly simplifies pool cleaning and also makes spending time outdoors more effortless, comfortable, and intelligent.

Promotional Deal for Early Action

From December 12–19 (ending at 24:00 AEDT), an exclusive early-bird promotion on the WYBOT S3 offers $900 off the regular price, along with complimentary door-to-door installation by WYBOT's professional technicians.
