### <mark style="color:blue;">Firefly changes the game.</mark>

Firefly is a team of former product managers and developers at Amazon.com, Twitter, and some of the top tech companies in Silicon Valley.

We built a world-class DEX on the next-generation *Manta* blockchain.  *Manta* Pacific is a Modular chain, which means it stores its transaction data offline through a partnership with Celestia. By storing transaction data offline, Manta is faster and less expensive than even other L2s.

**So nowhere can you get a better trading experience**.

Our Mission?   **Empower the Investor**.  Read our [inaugural Medium post](https://medium.com/@fireflydex/our-yardstick-at-firefly-empower-the-investor-2776294f65f5) which shows how we plan to meet Manta trader needs with our technology (concentrated liquidity provision, single-sided liquidity, limit orders).  &#x20;

Our role is ensuring that crypto trading is as lucrative as your talent makes possible.  Part of that is ***24-7 user support for traders and LPs*** on the platform.

firefly was admitted to Manta's coveted zk Accelerator Program, one of nine projects selected in Manta's initial batch, out of 175 projects in the ecosystem.  Accelerator projects receive support from Manta, Polygon, Celestia, and leading players in the crypto space.   [Read more here](https://mantanetwork.medium.com/introducing-the-inaugural-cohort-of-the-zkacc-program-52c39e00a088).

Note: Firefly has done a KYC with the Manta team.  We have had our [code audited, open-sourced, and verified](/firefly-docs/audits-transparency.md). &#x20;

If you run into a jam on Firefly, there's a chat box on the swap page where you can talk to a real person to get help at any hour.
