MANTRA has officially announced the expansion of its validator set, onboarding a new cohort of validators to further secure its network and decentralize governance. The latest expansion increases the number of active validators to 28, reinforcing the resilience and efficiency of the MANTRA blockchain.
With the growth of the MANTRA ecosystem, validators play a critical role in maintaining network security, transaction validation, and governance. The new additions include a mix of well-established validator services and industry players, further distributing control over the network.
New Validators Joining the MANTRA Network
The third cohort of validators includes:
Vault Staking
Polkachu
Stakecito
NTT (Slack)
UOB
Paysafe
Cointelegraph
Each of these validators brings expertise in staking infrastructure, institutional security, and governance, ensuring that the MANTRA network remains robust, scalable, and resistant to centralization.
What This Means for MANTRA’s Ecosystem
The validator expansion is a strategic step in reinforcing MANTRA’s Layer 1 blockchain, which is designed for tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs). A decentralized validator set ensures:
Enhanced network security – A larger validator set reduces the risk of centralization and strengthens network resilience.
Improved staking opportunities – With an increased validator set, the network offers 5.65% staking APR, incentivizing more community participation.
Greater governance decentralization – More validators mean a broader distribution of voting power, aligning with MANTRA’s goal of on-chain governance.
For delegators, this expansion presents new staking opportunities. Stakecito, now part of the active validator set, offers community members an opportunity to stake their $OM tokens and participate in the network’s growth while earning staking rewards.
Why Validator Expansion Matters
A healthy validator set is fundamental to the security and scalability of any proof-of-stake blockchain. As MANTRA continues to scale, ensuring a diverse validator set helps:
Prevent single points of failure by distributing validation across multiple entities.
Strengthen trust and reliability, particularly for institutional partners interested in staking and governanceparticipation.
Enhance network efficiency, reducing the likelihood of congestion and improving transaction finality times.
With an increasing focus on Real-World Asset tokenization, a secure and decentralized validator set is essential to MANTRA’s long-term sustainability and adoption.
How to Stake and Participate
With 5.65% staking APR, community members can now delegate their $OM tokens to validators to earn staking rewards while contributing to the network’s security. Stakecito, now part of the active validator set, offers an accessible way to participate in MANTRA’s staking ecosystem.
