Why You Should Care About MANTRA’s New Program (Hint: It’s Not Just for Fun)

by

In a universe where the improbable is just another Tuesday, MANTRA has decided to launch the RWAccelerator. Yes, you heard that right! This is not just any startup program; it’s a cosmic collaboration with Google Cloud, designed to help projects tokenize real-world assets. Because, why not? Who wouldn’t want to turn their grandma’s antique vase into a digital asset? 🏺✨

infrastructure, tokenization, and DeFi. Because who doesn’t love a good acronym? 🎢

Applications for the first intake are open until March 20, with selected participants notified by April 1. And if you miss this one, don’t worry! The second intake will open on March 20. It’s like a cosmic game of musical chairs, but with more spreadsheets and fewer chairs.

“This is a powerful opportunity for startups to harness cutting-edge technology and gain access to resources and mentorship,” said John Patrick Mullin, CEO of MANTRA, who probably said this while standing on a mountain of optimism. “With support from Google Cloud, this RWAccelerator will allow startups to reach new heights and significantly contribute to the wider Web3 community.” Because nothing says ‘contribution’ like a bunch of startups trying to outdo each other in the digital asset space.

The RWAccelerator arrives at a crucial moment for the RWA sector. According to the World Economic Forum, approximately 10% of global GDP—around $10 trillion—could be stored on blockchain networks by 2027. That’s a lot of zeros! Moreover, the Boston Consulting Group projects that tokenized assets could represent a US$16 trillion market by 2030. So, if you’re not on board yet, you might want to grab a life jacket! 🚀💰

RWAs and MANTRA

Real-world assets are those delightful physical or intangible treasures like real estate, commodities, bonds, and art. Traditionally, these assets are managed in financial systems that are about as accessible as a black hole. Tokenization allows these assets to be represented digitally on a blockchain, changing how they are owned, traded, and managed. It’s like giving them a digital passport! 🌍💳

MANTRA is a Layer 1 blockchain designed to tackle the key challenges of RWA tokenization by focusing on security, compliance, and scalability. It enables seamless asset transfers across different blockchains using the Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol, helping to reduce liquidity fragmentation. Because who wants their assets to be fragmented? That’s just messy!

To ensure trust and regulatory adherence, MANTRA integrates compliance tools such as KYC verification, AML protocols, and transaction monitoring. Built with the Cosmos SDK, its modular architecture provides a flexible and scalable foundation for managing complex RWAs. The network operates on a Proof-of-Stake validator system with Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant consensus, ensuring fast, secure, and efficient transactions. It’s like a well-oiled machine, if that machine were powered by the hopes and dreams of blockchain enthusiasts.

Governance on MANTRA is decentralized, allowing token holders (OM holders) to participate in key decisions about network updates and improvements. Because nothing says ‘democracy’ like a bunch of people voting on the internet!

At the time of writing, MANTRA’s token OM is priced at $7.37, down by $1.82 in the last 24 hours. However, it’s up by 27% and 106% on the weekly and monthly timeframes respectively, according to Coinmarketcap. So, if you’re feeling lucky, you might want to jump on this rollercoaster! 🎢💸
