MANTRA Chain: the network, its token and the companies behind it

MANTRA Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, live since 23 October 2024, built so that issuers can put real-world assets on a public chain and still apply real-world rules. The chain is operated by MANTRA Chain Association, and a separate group company, Mantra Finance FZE, is licensed by VARA in Dubai under VASP Licence VL/25/02/001.

  1. Asset An issuer records rights in a real-world asset, such as a building or a fund unit, as a token.
  2. Rule The issuer's conditions travel with the token. A permissioned standard such as ERC-3643 lets a contract refuse a transfer to a wallet that has not been approved.
  3. Settlement The transfer settles on a public ledger secured by validators, for a fee paid in MANTRA.

What is MANTRA Chain?

MANTRA Chain is a public Layer 1 built for tokenizing real-world assets. Anyone can read it and send transactions, while an application on it can restrict who holds or trades a given token. It runs on the Cosmos SDK, has been EVM-compatible since 17 September 2025, supports CosmWasm contracts and connects to other chains over IBC. Its native coin is MANTRA, formerly OM.

A public chain for permissioned applications

Property, fund units and private credit come with rules about who may own them. On MANTRA Chain those rules can sit in the token contract instead of in a side agreement. The RWA tokenization platform page sets out the stack, the token standards and the compliance model in full.

Who uses it: institutions, builders and token holders

Institutions issue and manage tokenized assets. Builders deploy EVM or CosmWasm contracts with Ethereum tooling such as MetaMask and Hardhat. Token holders pay fees in MANTRA, stake it with validators and vote on upgrades. MANTRA was founded in 2020.

Three ways to work with MANTRA Chain

  • 0.0136 MANTRA average fee per transaction, week to 4 October 2026

    Tokenize assets on the platform

    Issuers and builders deploy token contracts, set transfer rules and settle on a public ledger. In the week to 4 October 2026 the network carried 14,274 transactions. The tokenization platform page covers what can be tokenized and how compliance is enforced.

  • 19 March 2025 Dubai Land Department opens its tokenisation pilot

    Real estate in Dubai and the UAE

    The Dubai Land Department launched the pilot phase of its Real Estate Tokenisation Project on 19 March 2025. MANTRA announced a partnership with the developer MAG on 3 July 2024 and one with DAMAC Group on 9 January 2025; the current status of both is not confirmed. Roles, licences and costs are on the page about real estate tokenization in Dubai.

  • 8 days unbonding period for staked MANTRA

    Hold, stake and govern with the MANTRA token

    MANTRA pays network fees, secures the chain through staking and carries governance votes. Total supply stood at 8.22B on 4 October 2026, and staked coins take 8 days to unbond. Staking rewards are variable and not guaranteed. The rate, its method and the risks are set out under MANTRA token supply and staking.

The network in numbers

Every figure below comes from MANTRA's weekly transparency report. The staking rate is left out on purpose: it appears once on this site, on the token page, with its method and its date.

Security and the August 2026 incident

"On 20 August 2026, MANTRA Chain was exploited."

First line of MANTRA's own post-mortem

An attacker used an unsigned-integer underflow in the balance-accounting layer of cosmos/evm, an upstream dependency, to move 720,923,967.99 MANTRA, about US$3.6 million at the time, out of the burn address and a legacy multisig. The post-mortem states that no validator, administrator or governance keys were compromised, that no customer account or exchange-held balance was debited and that no new MANTRA was minted. The chain resumed on patched release v8.4.0, and MANTRA listed four changes to its monitoring and to upstream disclosure.

The full timeline, the root cause and the status of each change are in security and the August 2026 incident report.

How MANTRA is regulated

Three legal facts matter here, and each belongs to a different entity. The blockchain itself holds no licence.
