$OM THE MANTRA PROJECT MORE ALIVE THAN EVER.

Advances Towards Real World Assets #RWA .

The MANTRA project has made significant progress in its development, particularly in the realm of Real World Assets (RWA). In **June 2025**, the MANTRA test network, the $MANTRA Chain Testnet (Dukong Testnet)**, incorporated full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

This improvement was launched on June 23, 2025, coinciding with the `v5.0.0-rc0` version of the mantrachain binary. According to a detailed announcement by the MANTRA team on **June 30, 2025**, the goal is to create a more robust environment for developers and position MANTRA as the first MultiVM Layer 1 blockchain (capable of running CosmWasm and EVM in parallel) specifically designed for RWA.

The benefits of this EVM compatibility are clear:

* For developers, it is now possible to deploy decentralized applications (dApps) using Solidity and the Ethereum tools they are already familiar with, such as MetaMask, Hardhat, and Truffle, which considerably simplifies the process.

* For investors, it is anticipated that it will facilitate the transfer of funds from other EVM chains to MANTRA Chain, improving liquidity and accessibility.

* For the ecosystem as a whole, this update contributes to low fees, high performance, and better interoperability, key aspects for the mass adoption of tokenized assets.

The MANTRA team has expressed high expectations with this strategy and aims to consolidate trust in this project. They believe that the combination of EVM compatibility with the benefits of the Cosmos SDK will unlock new use cases for RWA, which could drive innovation and adoption on their platform.

This technical improvement lays a solid foundation for MANTRA's future growth. It may not restore trust overnight, but it is an essential component on the road to recovery. Trust is rebuilt through consistent actions.
