According to @jp_mullin888, MANTRA Chain is now the first purpose-built real-world asset (RWA) blockchain that is both EVM-compatible and self-sovereign, positioned on the Cosmos stack for high throughput and low fees, source: @jp_mullin888 on X; mantrachain.io/resources/announcements/abunnati-upgrade. For developers, the chain provides protocol-level compliance modules, full EVM opcode support, and the ability to fork and customize DeFi protocols for RWAs, enabling low-fee deployment of dApps, source: @jp_mullin888 on X; mantrachain.io/resources/announcements/abunnati-upgrade. For institutions, the tech stack is designed so they do not have to choose between EVM compatibility and regulatory frameworks; it will be combined with MANTRA Finance’s VASP license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to operate as a Virtual Asset Exchange and to provide Broker-Dealer and Management and Investment Services, source: @jp_mullin888 on X; mantrachain.io/resources/announcements/abunnati-upgrade. A near-term catalyst for builders and potentially $OM ecosystem activity is the stated date when MANTRA EVM will be stable for development, commencing September 23, source: @jp_mullin888 on X; mantrachain.io/resources/announcements/abunnati-upgrade. The announcement explicitly highlights $OM alongside the upgrade, signaling relevance for token-centric monitoring around the rollout timeline, source: @jp_mullin888 on X; mantrachain.io/resources/announcements/abunnati-upgrade.
