0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Manta Network is a blockchain technology company specializing in modular Layer 2 solutions that leverage zero-knowledge proofs and advanced cryptographic techniques to provide scalable, low-cost, and privacy-preserving infrastructure for decentralized applications. Positioned as the largest modular L2, it is backed by prominent investors such as Binance Labs and Polychain, indicating strong market credibility and growth potential. The company targets developers and blockchain users seeking high throughput and low fees, offering services including developer documentation, cross-chain bridges, staking, governance, and ecosystem grants. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and active community engagement across multiple social platforms. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, analytics tools, and responsive design, ensuring fast performance and good accessibility. The infrastructure integrates with Ethereum-compatible platforms and leverages Celestia data availability and OP Stack, showcasing advanced blockchain interoperability. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and lack of visible security headers indicate areas for compliance and security enhancement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but could improve by implementing standard security headers and publishing vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data is limited due to privacy protection, which is common and justified in this sector. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture with minor gaps in transparency and compliance. The overall risk assessment is low, with recommendations focusing on enhancing privacy compliance, security header implementation, and providing clear contact channels for incident response. These improvements would further solidify trust and regulatory adherence, supporting Manta Network's position as a leading modular blockchain provider.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Manta Network operates in the competitive blockchain infrastructure market, focusing on modular Layer 2 scalability and privacy solutions. Its competitive advantages include early adoption of Celestia data availability, integration with Ethereum-compatible environments, and strong backing from top-tier investors. The business model revolves around providing scalable blockchain infrastructure, developer tools, and ecosystem incentives to attract decentralized application builders. Revenue streams likely include token economics, staking rewards, and partnerships. The target customer segments are blockchain developers, DeFi projects, and privacy-conscious users. Growth indicators include over 200 ecosystem projects, active campaigns, and a vibrant community. The partnership ecosystem includes Binance Labs, Polychain, and Alliance, enhancing credibility and resource access. Strategic observations highlight a focus on modularity, developer experience, and cross-chain interoperability as key differentiators.

Security posture

Manta Network exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of deferred and asynchronous script loading reduces attack surface. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a compliance gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. GDPR compliance indicators are minimal due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site does not expose contact information for security incidents, which is a best practice for blockchain projects. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting standard headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear contact information for vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing terms of service and data retention policies to build user trust.

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and popular libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, GSAP, and BigNumber.js. It integrates analytics tools like Fathom and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and marketing insights. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with efficient script loading and minimal blocking resources. The platform leverages Ethereum-compatible blockchain technologies and modular Layer 2 solutions secured by Celestia and OP Stack. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. Technical risks are low, but the lack of security headers and privacy compliance pages represent areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
