Resilience Without Central Control

Self-healing topology replaces failed routes instantly When a node drops, traffic reroutes through adjacent paths in under 200ms — no manual intervention required.
Every endpoint is a potential relay Mantle turns edge devices into active network participants, not passive consumers of centralized compute.
Latency favors proximity over priority Requests resolve at the nearest healthy node, cutting average round-trip times by 40% across regions.
Observability grows with the network itself Each new node enriches the telemetry graph — more surface area yields more signal, not more blind spots.
