June has been another month where we've continued to dig deep across departments to deliver upgrades and changes for our community. Along with a continued commitment to the project, the continued decentralization of MANTRA Chain, our belief in tokenization and the wider space.

Some rest for the summer, we're not.

MANTRA Testnet is Now EVM-Compatible

Signaling a game changing moment for our ecosystem, we’ve made MANTRA Chain fully EVM-compatabile. An upgrade that also makes us the First MultiVM Layer 1 Blockchain for Real-World Assets. The integration (already live on our Dukong Testnet), uses the Cosmos EVM module, thereby allowing Solidity developers to deploy their dApps with all the EVM opcodes they know and love. It’s a win for developers, as well as a change for those seeking to seamlessly bring their Ethereum projects to MANTRA with minimal adjustments. Learn more here.

MANTRA Bridge Milestone

Marking another milestone 200,000,000 ERC20 $OM has now been bridged to MANTRA’s mainnet. Those seeking immediate updates on all bridge transactions can check out our newly launched Bridge Alerts channel where immediate updates on all new transactions are processed are shared. The bot delivers automatic notifications straight to your Telegram, including direct links to both Mintscan and Etherscan for full transparency.

RWAccelerator Updates

We revealed the seven projects selected for our RWAccelerator program supported by Google Cloud. These projects stood out for their innovation, scalability, and real-world impact. For a review of the selected projects and how they’ll be solving real world issues in their respective industries, read on. Keep an eye out for our spotlight articles over the course of the summer where we dig a little deeper into the purpose, vision and progress of each of project - published so far - Lympid and Brickken.

EVM Staking Update

EVM staking rewards for May are available to claim on mantra.zone. Please note that EVM staking has now been deprecated. To continue earning staking rewards, bridge your OM to MANTRA Chain and stake to a validator.‍

Kaito Real-World Rewards Program

Congratulations to May’s top yappers, who’ve played a key part in driving insights and conversation about the MANTRA ecosystem. Since April we increased the prize pool to 28,888 $OM, in order to reward those whose insights deserve the spotlight by driving our work and RWA tokenization forward. Learn more about the program and join here.
