MANTRA
MANTRA is a Cosmos SDK Layer 1 built for tokenized real-world assets with compliance features at the protocol level. Its native token trades under the ticker OM, and on this site the price page uses MANTRA.
MANTRA is a Cosmos-based Layer 1 aimed at bringing regulated, real-world assets on-chain, such as real estate and other institutional products, with identity and compliance modules built in. Its mainnet went live in October 2024, and the native token uses the ticker OM. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

MANTRA is built with the Cosmos SDK and reaches agreement using CometBFT, a proof-of-stake consensus engine. A validator set proposes and votes on blocks, giving fast finality so transactions confirm in seconds. Holders of the OM token can stake to validators to help secure the network and earn a share of rewards. The chain connects to other Cosmos networks through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol.

Cosmos SDK Layer 1
MANTRA is its own Layer 1 blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK, a framework for building application-specific chains. This lets the network include modules tailored to regulated assets rather than relying on general-purpose contracts alone.
Compliance modules
MANTRA includes protocol-level features for identity and permissioning, intended to let issuers meet regulatory requirements when they tokenize assets. This is the design focus that sets it apart from general-purpose chains.
OM token
OM is the native token. It is used to pay transaction fees, to stake to validators for network security, and to vote on governance. On this site the price page lists it under MANTRA.
IBC and dual smart contracts
Through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol, MANTRA can transfer assets and data with other Cosmos chains. The network supports CosmWasm smart contracts and adds Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility for EVM-style applications.
Ecosystem & usage
What MANTRA is used for.
The ecosystem is built around tokenized real-world assets and the compliance tooling that issuers and institutions use to bring them on-chain.
MANTRA is designed for issuing tokenized real-world assets, such as real estate and institutional financial products, with identity and permissioning handled at the protocol level.
Staking and governance
Holders can stake OM to validators to help secure the network and earn rewards, and can vote on proposals that decide how the chain changes over time.
Cross-chain transfers
Using the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol, assets and data can move between MANTRA and other Cosmos networks without a separate bridge service.
Yes. MANTRA is a Cosmos SDK Layer 1 that reaches agreement with CometBFT proof of stake and runs its own validator set. Its mainnet launched in October 2024.
What is the OM token used for?
OM is the native token. It pays transaction fees, is staked to validators to help secure the network, and is used for governance voting. This site lists the price under MANTRA.
What is MANTRA built for?
MANTRA focuses on tokenized real-world assets, such as real estate and institutional products, with identity and compliance features built into the protocol.
Does MANTRA connect to other blockchains?
Yes. MANTRA uses the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol to transfer assets and data with other Cosmos networks, and it supports CosmWasm smart contracts alongside EVM compatibility.
