The Manta token is a purely manipulative project and here is why. Firstly, it has already been the third day that the community has not been able to fully sell its tokens. Developers blocked the blockchain, justifying it as a DDoS attack. But blockchain is not a website, it should not prevent a regular DDoS attack. Second, if the community hasn't sold, then who have they been buying tokens from all this time? Apparently from Team Manta itself. Third, look at the history of the project, it constantly changed vector depending on the hype of other projects. Initially they built a project on Polkadot, then they saw the hype around L2 and completely switched to Ethereum, then they saw the hype about Celestia and joined. And they recently capitalized on the hype around Blast, calling their brand New Paradigm. Such decisions indicate that the team is picking up on the hype of others' projects and parasitizing it. And soon, perhaps, they will raise the price in a manipulative way and when people run to stake them with joy, a massive dump will begin. Consider this token only in the medium term. You should not under any circumstances bid them to be ready to sell quickly. This token will use the classic pump and dump scheme. And now they have money. They were the only ones selling.
