Bybit, Mantle Network, and Almanak form a strategic partnership for AI-powered on-chain trading.
Almanak will deploy its token and launch a liquidity pool on Mantle Network.
The integration brings Almanak's no-code, multi-agent AI strategy engine to Mantle.
Mantle's low-fee, high-throughput architecture enables complex, automated strategy execution.
Bybit acts as the global liquidity bridge for over 70 million users.
The collaboration aims to make sophisticated quantitative strategies more accessible and efficient.
Creating an Integrated AI Finance Environment
The partnership establishes a unified framework where AI-managed trading activity can operate across both centralized and decentralized venues. Following Almanak's spot listing on Bybit, the project will deploy on Mantle Network, integrating its strategy-building engine to leverage the network's fast, low-cost execution environment. This creates a seamless loop where capital and strategies can flow between Bybit's exchange infrastructure and Mantle's on-chain ecosystem.
Unlocking Advanced On-Chain Strategy Execution
Almanak's platform enables users to build and deploy sophisticated quantitative strategies using a swarm of specialized AI agents, all without writing code. By deploying on Mantle Network, these AI-driven strategies gain access to a high-performance execution layer suitable for high-frequency rebalancing and complex simulations that are impractical on higher-cost blockchains. Mantle's architecture is designed to support this advanced automation and composable strategy design.
Bridging Liquidity and Accessibility
A key component of the collaboration is Bybit's role as the global liquidity bridge. With over 70 million users, Bybit will provide streamlined access to both AI-managed strategies and Mantle-native liquidity. This integration, combined with a new two-sided liquidity pool on Mantle, is intended to deepen capital availability and support the growth of AI-driven assets, making sophisticated algorithmic trading more accessible to a broader user base.
This partnership represents a significant step in scaling AI-driven finance by merging specialized components: Almanak's AI engine, Mantle's execution infrastructure, and Bybit's distribution and liquidity. Together, they aim to strengthen Mantle's position as a leading network for algorithmic and AI-native DeFi innovation.
About Mantle
Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows.

About Almanak
Almanak is the largest DeFAI protocol and is more than twice the size of the rest of the category combined. It is an AI native asset management platform where a team of specialized agents known as the AI Swarm builds, tests, and simulates advanced code based strategies that are ready to be deployed by users. The AI Swarm creates strategy logic and produces deployable code, but it does not manage funds directly. Strategies run entirely on code, ensuring predictable and transparent execution.
