According to PANews, MANTRA has announced the full EVM compatibility of its testnet, marking it as the first MultiVM Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for real-world assets. The mainnet is scheduled to go live in September, with plans to support projects such as financing for Dubai's electric bicycle fleet through the MANTRA.finance platform. The ecosystem is set to expand between the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, introducing more decentralized applications (dApps) and partnerships. By the second quarter of 2026, MANTRA aims to launch yield tokens based on real-world assets and establish a secondary liquidity market. Additionally, the team has formed a strategic partnership with Inveniam, securing a $20 million investment to facilitate the on-chain integration of real-world assets (RWAs). Future efforts will focus on launching ecosystem applications, expanding partnerships, and offering yield products and secondary liquidity markets based on RWAs, further developing a secure and compliant decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
