This August, MANTRA turns five. Not just five years of code and contracts, but five years of community, conviction, and collective progress. From the earliest believers to the newest builders, every milestone MANTRA reached has been shaped by the people who dared to imagine a better financial future.
So, on this note, MANTRA pauses to thank every developer who shipped late-night commits, every regulator who leaned into innovation, every partner who saw the vision, and every member of the MANTRA global community who kept showing up. You made this possible.
Here’s to the next five, and a look back at the five biggest moments that defined MANTRA past year.
🛠️ 1. Launching MANTRA’s Mainnet (October 2024)
This was more than a technical release; it was a declaration. MANTRA launched its mainnet to accelerate its mission of becoming the trusted ledger for tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs). It gave builders the tools to create, and institutions the confidence to engage.
🏛️ 2. Securing the First DeFi License from VARA Dubai (February 2025)
In a world where regulation often lags behind innovation, MANTRA leaned in. Securing the first DeFi license from VARA Dubai, MANTRA proved that compliance and creativity can coexist. It was a win not just for MANTRA, but for every project striving to build responsibly.
🚀 3. Launching the RWAccelerator with Google Cloud (February 2025)
MANTRA believes in lifting others as they climb. That’s why MANTRA launched the RWAccelerator, an initiative backed by Google Cloud to support startups building in the RWA space. It’s about mentorship, infrastructure, and giving real-world builders a real shot.
🔗 4. Becoming the First MultiVM Layer 1 Blockchain (June 2025)
MANTRA introduced EVM compatibility to MANTRA Chain, making it the first MultiVM Layer 1 blockchain. That means more flexibility for developers, more interoperability for users, and more momentum for the ecosystem.
🌐 5. Partnering with Inveniam to Build a Global Institutional RWA Ecosystem (August 2025)
MANTRA joined forces with Inveniam to create a trusted data and valuation infrastructure for RWAs. Together, MANTRA is bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain, making real-world assets truly liquid and accessible.
💡 Real Moments, Real Impact
April 13 reminded us that progress isn’t always linear. It was a moment of reflection and resolve, a call to improve governance, transparency, and execution. MANTRA listened, acted, and still building.
🎉 Celebrating with the Community
To mark MANTRA's fifth birthday, the community brought the energy:
EleveX, one of the selected projects from the RWA-accelerator program, deployed seven smart contracts on the MANTRA Chain EVM Dukong testnet, taking the first step toward making real estate trading as seamless as crypto. Explore it here: app.elevex.ai
Defisushi, one of our core team members, released the Loki NFT collection, a commemorative mint of 188 mischievous sled dogs, inspired by a real-world animal, minted on 18/8 to tell the MANTRA RWA story.
Want to join the celebration? You can mint your own Loki NFT and make your first transaction on the Dukong EVM testnet. All you need is:
