MANTRA Chain: Permissionless Blockchain for Permissioned Dapps

One of the core components of the OMniverse is its own blockchain - the MANTRA Chain, one that is built on top of the Cosmos SDK and is said to have been designed to service regulatory-compliant digital, RWAs and tokenized assets. With the governments trying to regulate crypto, MANTRA is thinking ahead, hence it's building blockchain purposely to cater to investors who give value to regulatory compliance.

The MANTRA Chain as described on their documentation, is a chain of regulated digital assets. It is a protocol that supports various regulated activities and processes, re:

• On-chain identification
• Permissioned access to products
• Connectivity to the fiat/banking world through on/off ramps.

It allows for the permissionless ability to build Web3 applications on a high performance, scalable blockchain architecture, but with the toolkit to build regulated, compliant and permissioned applications.¹

Accordingly, MANTRA Chain is being built with "regulatory-compliant modules so that it can capitalize on licenses from regulatory authorities, such as SOMA.Finance (regulated broker-dealer specifically licensed for the issuance of digital securities), as well as the licenses MANTRA Finance is aiming to pursue in the UAE, Latin America and other jurisdictions across the globe."²

Key Features of MANTRA Chain

✅ Regulatory-compliant environment
The chain will make it easy for developers or Web 3 builders to create regulatory-compliant products.

✅ Web3 yield engine
Web3 builders can build their products on the chain and gain full benefit of integration with its sustainable yield engine which will in turn attract and reward more participants.

✅ Interoperable via Cosmos IBC

Building on MANTRA Chain provides interoperability, IBC compatible tokens, fast cross-chain transactions and other attractive features.³. The chain will permit tokens to be transferred from one zone to another securely through Cosmos Hub without the need for an exchange or a trusted third party between zones.⁴

Other notable features include, re:

• Multi-chain decentralized application ecosystem
• Vertically-integrated Blockchain ecosystem
