Mainnet Tokenomics & Distribution

Our mainnet tokenomics proposal was approved by the community in October 2024. Following community feedback, vesting conditions were extended and inflation was reduced to 3%. The revised proposal was presented in two separate governance votes to ERC20 OM holders and mainnet validator nodes. Both proposals passed successfully, with 82.17% of ERC20 OM holders and 49.17% of mainnet validators voting in favor.

Token Evolution & Supply Structure

At genesis, MANTRA Chain launched with a total supply of 1,777,777,776 OM mainnet staking coins, minted as follows:

Block 13,000,000 Token Upgrade (1:4 Split)

At block 13,000,000 (expected on or around March 2, 2026), the OM token underwent a 1:4 token split and ticker transition:
  • 1 OM became 4 MANTRA
  • Total supply expanded proportionally
  • Maximum hard cap became 10,000,000,000 MANTRA
All allocations described below remain proportional and are multiplied accordingly under the 1:4 conversion.

Genesis Allocation Breakdown

At genesis, 1,777,777,776 OM were minted across the following categories:

67.5% — OM Upgrade

888,888,888 OM were minted to mirror the legacy ERC20 OM supply.These tokens were held in a canonical bridge contract to facilitate migration from ERC20 OM to mainnet staking OM. Users may convert legacy OM into mainnet OM via the canonical bridge. Legacy OM will be progressively deprecated in favor of native staking coins.
311,111,112 OM were allocated to incentivize legacy OM stakers prior to mainnet launch.Eligible participants were determined via snapshot mechanisms. Rewards were distributed as mainnet staking coins, subject to:
  • 4 month cliff
  • 44 month linear vesting
Principal legacy OM remained ERC20 until voluntarily migrated.
