Inflation Schedule
The MANTRA Chain began incentivizing block production with a fixed 8% inflation rate with the passage of Proposal 2 on October 28, 2024. This rate was revised downward to a fixed 3% inflation rate with Proposal 5 on January 1, 2025. The inflation rate was subsequently revised upward to a fixed 8% inflation rate with Proposal 17 and implemented with Proposal 18 on August 27, 2025. Thus, the MANTRA Chain has, since its inception used the onchain governance process to review and implement changes to inflation incentives. The inflation rate is reviewed at least once per year. Any proposed amendments will be shared transparently with the community and MANTRA stakers will be able to voice their opinion and vote on the proposals before any new inflation rate is implemented. While MANTRA Chain is still bootstrapping its stake, inflation is allocated is as follows:- 60%: Staking rewards to secure the network.
- 40%: Community rewards allocated to the MANTRA Chain Association for liquidity incentives, public goods, and application support.
Vesting Schedule
Since the MANTRA project began its life as a DeFi DAO, when we pivoted to launching our own RWA Layer 1 blockchain we conducted a small fundraise to help with the costs of this transition. Those OM tokens sold vest according to the below emissions schedule. Any OM tokens yet to vest will convert to MANTRA coins at the 1:4 split rate, but will still vest according to the same schedule. As of March 3, 2026 when the blockchain gas coin redenominated to MANTRA from OM, we had not conducted any further pre-seed or seed sales.
