October marked a month where there wasn’t just a single point of focus, rather a collective of multiple initiatives pointing toward one unifying goal: building the best regulated infrastructure for real world finance to live onchain. 

From AI-powered governance to institutional-grade tokenization, and cross-chain stablecoin rails, to community-driven governance changes, the team dug deep. Not to mention one very large event in Abu Dhabi. 

‍Real World Accountability: MANTRA Update at TOKEN 2049

Following his Dubai fireside earlier this year, John took to the stage in Singapore to share MANTRA’s main updates and areas of focus. It was a moment that underscored the team’s progress since April 13, with key improvements and milestones including; strengthening the network’s decentralization, the $25M+ buyback initiative backed by key investors, our partnership with Inveniam, and MANTRA Chain’s move to become one of the first Layer 1s with native multi-VM functionality. 

Automating Governance at Scale: MANTRA × Quack AI

October saw the deployment of Quack AI - the AI native governance layer built for tokenized ecosystems - to MANTRA’s mainnet. Designed for scale, Quack AI allows DAOs, issuers, and institutions to automate onchain proposals, compliance scoring, and governance workflows, thereby replacing the manual friction of token voting with an auditable, AI-verified process. This integration doesn’t just streamline governance; it bridges the gap between decentralized structures and institutional compliance, enabling a future where even regulated assets can be governed efficiently onchain.

Building Real Market Infrastructure: EleveX Goes Live

Marking a full circle moment, EleveX, a Real Estate Investment Exchange (REIX) for tokenized real estate projects and market indexes, was successfully deployed on MANTRA Chain. A recent graduate of April’s RWAccelerator program, their quick deployment speaks to the focus of their team and a working example of how quickly a project can scale in MANTRA’s ecosystem. The platform brings real estate assets, investors, and data together in one compliant ecosystem. With over $30 million in projects committed and a community of 5,000 qualified investors, EleveX demonstrates that tokenization isn’t just a concept anymore, it’s a functioning market. From fractionalized ownership to real-time performance data, EleveX shows what happens when traditional assets finally meet blockchain infrastructure designed for them. 

Connecting Chains, Unlocking Liquidity: MANTRA × Hyperlane

Hyperlane, the open interoperability framework for bridging, issuance, swaps, and message passing anywhere across 150+ blockchains and 7 VMs, also officially integrated with MANTRA Chain. Hyperlane’s addition enables seamless transfers of stablecoins and other digital assets into MANTRA’s ecosystem from EVM-compatible chains, setting the stage for the upcoming mantraUSD, MANTRA’s native stablecoin. Hyperlane’s modular architecture gives developers control and flexibility while reinforcing the network’s commitment to open, secure, and composable systems.

Reimagining Governance: The MANTRA Token Proposal

We also invited the community to share their voice and shape the evolution of MANTRA’s ecosystem, via sharing our proposal to change the $OM ticker to $MANTRA and introducing a 1:4 token split, aligning the brand, token, and chain under one unified identity.

This move isn’t about cosmetic rebranding; it’s about coherence. As the ecosystem grows, spanning DeFi, RWA tokenization, and AI-powered infrastructure, having a single, recognizable name will strengthen the network’s visibility and community identity. The proposal also preserves total market capitalization, ensuring no dilution for holders.

Agentic. Summit: A New Centre of Gravity

October culminated in Abu Dhabi at Agentic. Co-hosted with Inveniam and Cointelegraph, more than 300 leaders from traditional finance, digital assets, and regulation gathered for what was less like a conference and more like a strategic council on the future of finance. The discussions centered on infrastructure, verified data, and regulatory frameworks - not speculative hype. 

We also unveiled Inveniam Chain - a purpose-built Layer 2 blockchain aimed at advancing the management and utilization of private real estate assets in an agentic future, beginning with commercial real estate (CRE) data. Built as the first Layer 2 on MANTRA Chain’s RWA L1, Inveniam Chain’s first phase will power CRE derivatives globally, thereby unlocking trading strategies and liquidity for $27 trillion in private CRE holdings.

Looking Ahead

October wasn’t just another month of progress, it was a demonstration of vision turning into verifiable action. As we work to bring $OM hOMe and unify its ecosystem under the $MANTRA brand, October’s work gave us even stronger foundations for regulated, transparent, and scalable onchain markets.
