Unlock Schedule
MANTRA (OM) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the MANTRA (OM) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence OM price performance.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
From ERC‑20 to Native Staking Coin
Originally, OM had a hard cap of 888,888,888 tokens on Ethereum. With MANTRA Chain’s launch, the community approved a tokenomics redesign to make OM the native staking coin of the layer‑1. At genesis, the chain minted 1,777,777,776 mainnet OM (1:1 to mirror the legacy supply plus a new tranche for the chain’s needs). Over time, legacy ERC‑20 OM is expected to be deprecated as users bridge to native OM. (docs.mantrachain.technology)
Inflation and Staking
To sustain validator incentives, MANTRA shifted from a capped to an inflationary model. Following community feedback, the network adopted a fixed 3% inflation for the first year, with 60% of issuance directed to staking rewards and 40% to the MANTRA Chain Association for ecosystem initiatives; the rate is reviewable by governance. Stakers delegate OM to validators to help secure the chain and earn protocol rewards. (docs.mantrachain.technology)
Distribution Approach
The mainnet supply includes distinct buckets:
- 67.5% “OM Upgrade,” which combines a 50% mirror of the legacy ERC‑20 supply (held in a canonical bridge) and 17.5% incentives for users who staked legacy OM before mainnet to upgrade.
- 12.8% for the MANTRA Chain Association (covering pre‑seed, seed, and ecosystem allocations).
- 2.8% for airdrops to bootstrap users, stakers, and builders across key communities.
Vesting schedules include long cliffs and linear unlocks, and later governance votes extended vesting and reduced inflation. (docs.mantrachain.technology)
What OM Does
- Secures the network through staking and slashing‑based incentives.
- Pays gas fees for transactions and smart‑contract execution.
- Grants governance rights for protocol proposals and parameter changes.
- Acts as the settlement medium within the chain’s DEX and other on‑chain modules. (docs.mantrachain.io)
Assumptions
- Staking/Referral/Reserve block-based emissions (legacy) modeled as linear within each documented block-rate period.
Official docs specify per-block emission rates and date ranges but not month-by-month totals; linear interpolation preserves totals for charting.
- Legacy Grants distribution modeled as linear 2021-01-01 to 2025-04-15.
Dec 2020 docs show grants escrowed; April 2025 statement says legacy buckets fully distributed. Exact disbursement timestamps not published.
- OM Upgrade vesting dates set 2025-02-16 start and 2028-10-16 end.
Docs describe 4-month cliff post-mainnet then linear to October 2028; latest announcement gives end date of 2028-10-16.
- Ecosystem allocation assumed available at genesis (cliff unlock).
Docs describe reserve purpose without vesting; treated as Association-held tokens that can be deployed over time.
- Percentages expressed against 1,777,777,776 genesis baseline for convenience; supply is now uncapped.
MANTRA Chain adopted inflationary design with uncapped supply; Year 1 inflation modeled explicitly; later years subject to governance.
- Mirror bucket (888,888,888 mainnet coins reserved to mirror legacy ERC-20) not counted as a separate allocation.
Bridging moves tokens from ERC-20 to mainnet 1:1 and does not change combined OM supply; including it would double-count supply.
