Key Developments & Data

MANTRA plunges 18% as developers freeze the entire blockchain following an exploit. MANTRA fell from $0.005060 to an all-time low of $0.004126 before recovering slightly. Trading volume surged nearly 600% to $24 million during the crash. An attacker exploited a vulnerability in an "upstream dependency" developed outside the core network.

MANTRA's former OM token previously collapsed over 90% in April 2025 and wiped out $5 billion in market value.
