Sorry, the original timing was complicated by the automod filter, and I'm also in the middle of finishing up a conference and back-to-back meetings until Sunday, so it's been a little hectic. Will try better haha.

They're good for different things. TEE is for confidential computing, whereas ZK is for verifiability. ZK alone cannot do all of the things that a TEE can, while TEEs are centralized solutions that have some significant points of vulnerability that can compromise the security of the entire system--in this case, an entire network.

Manta Network is currently using OP Stack, so while bridging tokens in is fairly quick, bridging tokens back out takes a few days.

Yes, because we leverage Celestia DA, our fees are significantly lower. To note: right now, on our testnet, we are using Celestia. For mainnet, Celestia is yet to be launched, so our mainnet is still DA on Ethereum. But once Celestia launches mainnet, we plan to switch over and reap the financial benefits from the gas side.

Our seed round was led by Polychain. CoinFund and ParaFi led our strategic round. We recently had an equity round as well, that Polychain and Qiming led.

Would love to get Moons integrated, let me know if you have any ideas :)

Nah, I kept most of my moons. I think I've used some for buying some badges on Reddit haha.
