September marked another non-stop month for MANTRA, with the mainnet upgraded to full EVM compatibility, an expanded validator set, new chain integrations, and impactful community events. Here’s a quick recap of how it unfolded. You can do a lot in thirty days. 

The First MultiVM Blockchain for RWAs

‍The Abunnati Upgrade marked a pivotal moment for MANTRA Chain, introducing full EVM compatibility alongside CosmWasm support. This makes MANTRA the first MultiVM Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for RWAs. By embedding compliance at the protocol level, MANTRA ensures regulatory clarity while opening its ecosystem to Ethereum developers, DeFi protocols, and new asset issuers. The upgrade highlights MANTRA’s commitment to bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi.

Governance

‍Inveniam, a global leader in decentralized data infrastructure for private market assets, officially joined MANTRA’s active validator set. This move strengthens MANTRA’s network security, decentralization, and governance. Inveniam now joins other high-profile validators such as Binance, Google Cloud, Ledger, and Nansen, as part of MANTRA Chain’s expansion to support institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

EVM Integrations and Deployments

‍SEDA, a programmable oracle infrastructure, integrated with MANTRA Chain, providing developers access to over 11 million data symbols, including equities, commodities, crypto, and more. This partnership empowers developers to create custom oracle feeds for highly dynamic RWA applications, enabling innovations like tokenized real estate and 24/7 stock trading. SEDA’s flexibility and programmability mark a significant leap in how real-world data is brought on-chain.

Additionally we partnered with Brickken to launch Atlas Frontier' - a program defining five clear pathways to bring RWAs onchain. This collaboration marks a full-circle moment, with Brickken - having joined MANTRA’s RWAccelerator in April 2025 - now an official ecosystem partner. Brickken will deploy its dApp directly on MANTRA Chain, enabling compliant, regulated access to tokenized assets.

Events and Community Engagement

In partnership with Cointelegraph and Inveniam, we are organizing Agentic., a two-day institutional summit in Abu Dhabi, the ‘capital of capital.’ The event will bring together over 300 asset managers, financial technologists, and market innovators to explore emerging trends in tokenization, AI-driven markets, and next-gen infrastructure. Register to attend here.

‍Running alongside the Agentic summit, the Agentic Pitchfest gives builders, startups, and innovators the opportunity to showcase their projects to over 300 investors and industry leaders. The competition offers cash prizes of up to $25,000 and entry into the RWAccelerator program.

Alongside Tiger Research and Exilist, we hosted a community-focused meetup during Korea Blockchain Week. The event brought together Web3 enthusiasts, builders, and traders to network and discuss the future of blockchain technology over food and drinks. This informal gathering helped strengthen ties within the global Web3 community.

Looking Ahead

Tomorrow our CEO and founder John Patrick Mullin and Henri Arslanian will take to the stage at Token 2049 for an in depth, honest and raw sequel to Dubai's April fireside- a recap of what's been achieved since, plus a look to what's coming.

Stay tuned for more updates.
