Mantle block time
As of October 30, 2026, Mantle block time is 1.86 s at the median (p50, 24h window), with 2.76 s at p90 and 2.98 s at p99. Mantle ranks #4 of 9 chains measured on this benchmark.
Mantle block time is 1.86 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.
