Overview of the Collapse
Mantra (OM) has undergone a major market shock, with the OM token plummeting over 90% in value, triggering liquidations totaling around $5 billion. While the token showed brief signs of recovery, it quickly fell again—forcing swift intervention from the project’s leadership team.
Findings from Internal Investigation
An internal review, published on April 16, identified forced liquidations during low liquidity periods as the core catalyst behind OM’s sharp downturn. These findings exposed critical weaknesses in the project’s trading environment and liquidity safeguards.
CEO’s Response: Managed Close Program Incoming
Co-founder and CEO John Patrick Mullin has announced a strategic recovery plan to stabilize OM and restore investor confidence. A key component of this plan is a managed close program, with full details to be released shortly. Mullin also confirmed that accelerated buyback operations have already begun to support the token’s market price.
A Push for Transparency
To reinforce trust, the Mantra team will launch a transparent data dashboard, allowing investors to monitor real-time token supply, lockups, and on-chain activity. This initiative is part of a broader effort to bring clarity and accountability to the platform’s internal operations.
Token Burn & Community Allocation
From the 300 million OM tokens (17% of total supply) originally designated for project contributors, a substantial portion will be either:
Burned permanently, or
Reallocated to the community.
These tokens, once valued at $1.8 billion, are now worth approximately $200 million, reflecting the dramatic price drop.
Personal Sacrifice from the CEO
In a public commitment to the project’s recovery, Mullin has pledged to burn his personal OM token allocation—a bold move aimed at signaling alignment with community interests and reinforcing long-term trust.
“I also undertake to burn my personal token allocation.” — John Patrick Mullin
Looking Ahead
The recovery roadmap seeks to limit damage, rebuild trust, and strengthen Mantra’s tokenomics framework. With transparency, token reforms, and community-first leadership at the forefront, the team is focused on steering OM toward a more stable and resilient future.
