MANTRA Coin Upgrade Update: OM to MANTRA Shift Set for March

What the MANTRA Coin Upgrade Means for OM Holders Across Networks

MANTRA Chain has officially extended its MANTRA Coin Upgrade timeline, moving the final upgradation date from January 19 to March 2, 2026. The update is designed to support dozens of exchange partners and allow a safer buffer following the ERC20 $OM deprecation on January 15.

Following are the main changes that MANTRA coin upgrade brings to the community: 

• Ticker change: From $OM to $MANTRA

• Token split ratio: 1 $OM = 4 $MANTRAs

• Non-dilutive: No change to total value held

• Native chain focus: Full transition to MantraChain

• Governance-backed: Approved by community voting

With exchange coordination, infrastructure preparations, and technical checks in focus, the extended timeline aims to ensure a smooth and systematic shift for all users. But what does this change really mean for $OM holders?

What the MANTRA Coin Upgrade Means for Customers?

For in-platform users, the transition will be simple, however different network participants need to do some actions:

• MANTRA Chain holders: No need for manual effort. On March 2, 2026, wallets will automatically reflect the ticker change and the 1:4 token split, meaning four new coins for every old coin.
  

• Supported exchange users: Exchanges coordinating with the blockchain will handle the upgrade automatically. Users should still monitor official exchange announcements.
  

• EVM network holders (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Base): Holders, who keep their tokens on EVM networks are required to shift their assets manually before January 15 through official migration tools. Later actions can cause permanent locking. 

• Cosmos ecosystem members (Osmosis, Stargaze, others): Cosmos network users also need to move their previous old coins to MantraChain using IBC bridge for the 1:4 eligibility.

Why This Upgradation Matters

The platform positioned itself as a regulated blockchain infrastructure with built-in compliance features and a VASP licence from Dubai’s VARA. 

Sitting at this empire, the coin upgrade looks needed and a key step in unifying the network and supporting its focus on regulated tokenization. 

With community assistance and a clear extension period, the team behind presents a careful approach, where one side protects holders while the other forms the foundation for the next big growth phase.
