General Information + +### Q1: Why is Manta Atlantic being shut down? + +Manta Atlantic's Polkadot parachain slot will naturally expire on August 1, 2026. We have decided not to renew the slot and instead consolidate all resources into Manta Pacific (L2). This is not an abandonment — it's a strategic focus. Manta Pacific offers lower gas fees, faster transaction confirmations, a richer EVM ecosystem, and a larger developer community, enabling us to better serve users and developers. + +### Q2: When will Manta Atlantic officially stop operating? + +The parachain slot is expected to expire around **late July to early August 2026** (the exact timing depends on block production speed and may vary by a few days).

How is it different from Atlantic? + +Manta Pacific is Manta Network's Ethereum Layer 2 network.

All future Manta development and ecosystem building will take place on Pacific. + +--- + +## II. Asset Safety & Migration + +### Q5: Are my assets on Atlantic safe?

Please make sure you control the private key / seed phrase for that Ethereum address. + +### Q10: How long does migration take? + +Under normal circumstances, a single migration transaction is expected to complete within a few minutes. The exact arrival time depends on the cross-chain bridge's confirmation mechanism. + +### Q11: Can I still transfer assets into Atlantic after March 20? + +**No.** Starting March 20, 2026, the cross-chain bridge closed all inbound transfer channels.
