What's different about Mandala
Three Mandala-specific facts worth knowing before you start.
- Gas is paid in KPG, not ETH. Same gwei units, different underlying token. Budget separately.
- Blocks are produced on demand. No fixed slot time. Do not use
block.numberas a clock; useblock.timestampdeltas. - Withdrawals to Ethereum take ~7 days. Standard optimistic-rollup challenge window. Plan UX accordingly.
