The expansion with Odisea Labs aims to accelerate regional blockchain innovation through comprehensive developer support.
Mantle, the team behind the Mantle Network, expands into Latin America with their newest initiative, Odisea Labs.
Odisea Labs is an innovation lab focused on accelerating tech development in Latin America (LatAm), and it aims to support builders in the region in deploying their projects on the network.
Latin America has established itself as a key region for the adoption of crypto, a potential that Mantle recognises, and its expansion will consist of accelerators, grants, provision of potential liquidity, and connections with its team of experts.
Mantle & Odisea Labs will also launch an initiative in January across LatAm, which will boost promising projects further, and support the initial stages (pre-seed and seed) of projects that address challenges in areas such as DeFi, infrastructure, gaming, culture, and education.
At the same time, Mantle will also embark on the Mantle Tour and visit main LatAm cities to connect with developers, entrepreneurs and crypto enthusiasts. These include Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City and Bogotá. The tour will include 1-to-1 talks, events with different communities, mentoring and meetings to encourage the adoption of Mantle, promote local innovation and strengthen the network of builders in the region.
