MANTRA upgrades mainnet with EVM + CosmWasm support, targeting institutional tokenization and cross-ecosystem dApps.
MANTRA has released a mainnet upgrade that brings native support for both Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and CosmWasm contracts to its Layer 1 blockchain. The MultiVM setup is designed for real-world asset (RWA) applications.
Developers can now deploy Solidity-based decentralized apps without code changes, adapt existing Ethereum DeFi protocols for tokenization, and continue building with Cosmos-native smart contracts on the same network.
This dual environment aims to reduce the friction of building across ecosystems. While EVM dominates institutional adoption, CosmWasm has become the backbone of Cosmos SDK-based chains. By integrating both, MANTRA hopes to attract developers from either camp while offering infrastructure optimized for tokenization use cases.
Compliance is handled at the protocol layer, avoiding the need for separate contracts. Together with its VASP license from Dubai’s VARA, this gives institutions a defined framework for tokenizing assets on the network.
The timing reflects wider industry trends. Tokenization of RWAs, from private equity and real estate to bonds and commodities, has become one of the most discussed narratives of 2025. JPMorgan, BlackRock, and other financial giants have entered pilot projects, while infrastructure providers are racing to capture developer mindshare.
Beyond technical upgrades, MANTRA has been expanding governance with new validators including Binance and Nansen. The project is also preparing for its Agentic. summit in Abu Dhabi, gathering developers, asset managers, and policymakers.
With the MultiVM now live, future updates will introduce permissioned liquidity pools and new compliance modules aimed at institutional users.
