As of September 7, 2026, Mantle block time is 1.78 s at the median (p50, 24h window), with 2.72 s at p90 and 2.97 s at p99. Mantle ranks #3 of 10 chains measured on this benchmark.
Mantle block time is 1.78 s (p50, 24h). Mantle is an OP Stack fork with a Mantle Foundation sequencer at the OP Stack 2 s default, but it swaps Ethereum calldata for EigenDA as the data-availability layer, which decouples DA cost from L1 blob price without changing the L2 block cadence the user sees. Measured via `newHeads` inter-arrival on the public Mantle sequencer WebSocket.
