MANTRA Chain halts network amid investigation, freezing transactions and asset movements.

MANTRA Chain suspended its network on August 21 to investigate an unidentified incident, freezing all transactions and preventing asset transfers across its Layer 1 blockchain focused on real-world assets (RWA). The halt affects validators, public endpoints, bridges, and relays, with exchanges pausing deposits and withdrawals. No stolen or compromised assets have been reported, and the team is working with external partners to ensure safety before restarting. The incident's cause remains unknown, and users are warned against recovery scams. MANTRA's token price dropped nearly 10% amid increased trading volume as the investigation continues.
