MANTRA Chain is entering its most transformative phase yet. The project is consolidating its ecosystem, upgrading its token model, and preparing for a major network evolution that will define its long‑term direction.
Below is a clear, structured breakdown of what’s happening and why it matters.
MANTRA is moving away from a multi‑chain token model and consolidating everything onto MANTRA Chain, its own Layer‑1 blockchain designed for real‑world asset (RWA) tokenization.
This shift is driven by the need to reduce fragmentation, simplify integrations, and strengthen the chain’s economic foundation.
A major coin upgrade is in progress, approved through community governance.
Key elements include:
This upgrade is part of a broader strategy to streamline the ecosystem and prepare for institutional‑grade RWA adoption.
MANTRA Chain’s EVM module is now powering new cross‑chain infrastructure.
For example, Lucid Labs deployed Multi‑Bridge and Nebula on MANTRA Chain, improving liquidity routing and yield generation across ecosystems.
This positions MANTRA Chain as a serious player in interoperable RWA infrastructure.
MANTRA is sunsetting the ERC‑20 version of OM to eliminate fragmentation and reduce the burden on exchanges and integrators.
The team highlighted several reasons:
The migration spans over 5 months, giving exchanges, institutions, and retail holders time to move tokens safely.
As part of the migration and upgrade:
| Feature | Before Migration (ERC‑20 OM) | After Migration (Native MANTRA) |
|---|---|---|
| Token Standard | ERC‑20 / multi‑chain | Native MANTRA Chain |
| Token Name | OM | MANTRA |
| Supply Change | No | 4× non‑dilutive split |
| Required Action | Yes (if off‑chain) | None (if already on MANTRA Chain) |
| Gas Fees | Higher (Ethereum) | Lower, sub‑$2 migration |
| Ecosystem | Fragmented | Unified, RWA‑focused |
| Exchange Support | Mixed | Standardized |
This is more than a token swap, it’s a strategic realignment of the entire MANTRA ecosystem.
The migration sets MANTRA up to compete with other RWA‑focused chains like Polkadot, Avalanche, and Cosmos‑based networks.
