Nansen Joins MANTRA Chain as Validator to Strengthen Compliance-Focused Web3 Infrastructure

Singapore, 14 May, 2025 – Nansen, the leading blockchain analytics platform, today announced its entry into the MANTRA ecosystem as a validator. This strategic move is part of Nansen’s broader mission to contribute to decentralized, secure, and regulatory-aligned blockchain infrastructure. MANTRA, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for real-world assets, capable of adherence to real world regulatory requirements, will now benefit from Nansen’s infrastructure and insights as part of its validator set.
As a Layer-1 blockchain designed with compliance at its core, MANTRA enables institutions and developers to build regulated decentralized applications across DeFi, real-world assets, and beyond. Through this collaboration, Nansen reinforces its commitment to supporting next-generation blockchain ecosystems that align innovation with regulation.
In joining the MANTRA validator set, Nansen not only contributes to the security and decentralization of the network but also brings unique capabilities in on-chain data analytics. This validator role will allow Nansen to provide enhanced transparency into the health and dynamics of the MANTRA ecosystem through its analytics suite, ultimately empowering users, builders, and institutions with actionable insights.
“We’re proud to support MANTRA as a validator and bring our analytics capabilities to a Layer-1 chain focused on real-world compliance. As institutional demand for blockchain infrastructure grows, platforms like MANTRA will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. We look forward to contributing to this evolution.”— Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen
John Patrick Mullin, MANTRA's CEO and Founder added, “As we work to wind down MANTRA Chain Association validators and further decentralize the network, we are thrilled to have Nansen join MANTRA as an external one. It’s a welcome addition and change that reflects the significant governance improvements we are currently making on MANTRA Chain and our improved focus upon decentralization and transparency.”
Strengthening Ecosystem Transparency
This collaboration will also see the rollout of dedicated analytics dashboards for the MANTRA Chain in Nansen’s product suite. These dashboards will feature key metrics such as validator performance, token flows, dApp activity, and smart money movement within the ecosystem. These insights will help stakeholders better understand user behavior, monitor growth, and uncover opportunities within MANTRA’s growing suite of applications.
Validator rewards earned by Nansen will be reinvested into ecosystem growth initiatives, including community grants, product enhancements, and further integrations designed to drive broader adoption of MANTRA Chain.
Nansen’s integration with MANTRA Chain is currently underway and will soon unlock even deeper onchain insights for ecosystem participants.
