MANTRA (MANTRA)
MANTRA ranks #117 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #808: 691 of the 807 assets ahead of it are not native coins but tokens or claims. A token is issued on a host blockchain rather than running its own; a claim stands for an asset already counted. Of the 820 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 54% are tokens, 36% are claims on other assets, 9% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

A — 64 out of 100, provisional (from 10 of 10 sections, 10 November 2026 build). With what is not yet measured anywhere from nothing to full marks, the score would be 59 to 68 (B to A).
| Section and criteria | Score | Basis |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 3.4 | 66% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. No open minting at launch (PoS). The mainnet genesis (Oct 2024) set 1,777,777,776 OM, made up of the 888.9M legacy ERC-20 OM plus 888.9M newly minted for an upgrade incentive (17.5%), core contributors (16.9%), mainnet pre-seed (5.6%), mainnet seed (~5.1%), a genesis airdrop (~2.8%) and an ecosystem fund (~2.1%). The 266.7M legacy ERC-20 staking-reward pool (30% of the legacy supply, paid to open stakers) is excluded, and a reported 150M OM founder burn is subtracted: (1,777.8 - 266.7 - 150)M = 1,361M OM, against the current on-chain total of 8,291.86M MANTRA = 2,073M OM-equivalent after the 1:4 split, which gives about 66%. Inflation paid to the MANTRA Chain Association (6.69% bucket) would add to this, but the amount emitted so far is not established. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | 8.3 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 16.7% of supply sold. Legacy OM (2020): private sale 9% and public distribution 8.5% of 888.9M, with a public sale of ~75.6M OM for ~$3.93M. Mainnet pre-seed (~99.9M OM) and seed (~90.1M OM) rounds, ~$11M per Tokenomist, with strategic investors including Nomura (Laser Digital). Sold = 345.6M OM-equivalent / 2,073M = 16.7%. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9.3 | Developer share: about 6.8% of today's supply received so far; 70% of each new block reward goes to them today. Two cuts on the CometBFT chain's inflation: the x/tax module sends a share of each block's fee-collector balance (inflation plus fees) to the MANTRA Chain Association: 40% from the October 2024 mainnet, raised to 60% by Prop 33 (v8.2.0, 9 June 2026); and Prop 39 (8 Oct 2026) set community_tax to 25% of the remaining staking pool, i.e. 10% of inflation to the community pool, leaving 30% to stakers. Arithmetic (estimate): inflation 8% (Oct 28 2024-Jan 1 2025), 3% (to Aug 27 2025), 8% (to Jun 9 2026), 16% since, on ~7.1-8.3B MANTRA-equivalent supply gives ~1.17B minted; 40% of ~0.69B + 60% of ~0.47B + ~6M community pool = ~0.57B / 8,295M = ~6.8%. source |

Ten sections, weighted equally, each 0 to 10: consensus (the two ladders), supply (the supply scale and a fixed cap that holds), distribution (premine, fundraising, developer share, holders), decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes), security, scalability, privacy, programmability (what the scripting layer can do beyond the whitepaper's payment system), demand, and record (age, development, conduct). They are built from the criteria in the second table: privacy, scalability, security and decentralisation are the Cryptocurrency Standards among them, as follows: privacy (the whitepaper's three checks a base of 7 of 10, three extra features up to 3 more), scalability (four measures and three features), security (pool diversity, network activity, hashrate, clients and two checks) and decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them, and supply and demand are two: the supply, scored against 21 million, and demand, the average of seven measures of the market and the wallets. Provisional: parts marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice.

No open minting at launch (PoS). The mainnet genesis (Oct 2024) set 1,777,777,776 OM, made up of the 888.9M legacy ERC-20 OM plus 888.9M newly minted for an upgrade incentive (17.5%), core contributors (16.9%), mainnet pre-seed (5.6%), mainnet seed (~5.1%), a genesis airdrop (~2.8%) and an ecosystem fund (~2.1%). The 266.7M legacy ERC-20 staking-reward pool (30% of the legacy supply, paid to open stakers) is excluded, and a reported 150M OM founder burn is subtracted: (1,777.8 - 266.7 - 150)M = 1,361M OM, against the current on-chain total of 8,291.86M MANTRA = 2,073M OM-equivalent after the 1:4 split, which gives about 66%. Inflation paid to the MANTRA Chain Association (6.69% bucket) would add to this, but the amount emitted so far is not established.
Legacy OM (2020): private sale 9% and public distribution 8.5% of 888.9M, with a public sale of ~75.6M OM for ~$3.93M. Mainnet pre-seed (~99.9M OM) and seed (~90.1M OM) rounds, ~$11M per Tokenomist, with strategic investors including Nomura (Laser Digital). Sold = 345.6M OM-equivalent / 2,073M = 16.7%.
Two cuts on the CometBFT chain's inflation: the x/tax module sends a share of each block's fee-collector balance (inflation plus fees) to the MANTRA Chain Association: 40% from the October 2024 mainnet, raised to 60% by Prop 33 (v8.2.0, 9 June 2026); and Prop 39 (8 Oct 2026) set community_tax to 25% of the remaining staking pool, i.e. 10% of inflation to the community pool, leaving 30% to stakers. Arithmetic (estimate): inflation 8% (Oct 28 2024-Jan 1 2025), 3% (to Aug 27 2025), 8% (to Jun 9 2026), 16% since, on ~7.1-8.3B MANTRA-equivalent supply gives ~1.17B minted; 40% of ~0.69B + 60% of ~0.47B + ~6M community pool = ~0.57B / 8,295M = ~6.8%.
Allocation percentages differ by base (Tokenomist 41.63/14.57/14.05... of an inflation-inclusive base vs DropsTab/Tokenomics.com 50/17.5/16.9... of the 1.78B genesis). The 66% figure depends on excluding the legacy staking pool and on the reported 150M burn. Without either adjustment it would be ~86% (7.11B genesis-equivalent / 8.29B). Grants, referrals and reserves in the legacy ERC-20 split (35% combined) were team-discretionary and are counted.

How CoinSpectrum ranks MANTRA
MANTRA is #117 among cryptocurrencies and #808 in the market ranking, which lists wrapped coins, staked derivatives, stablecoins and tokens alongside them. CoinSpectrum counts an asset once, and counts only cryptocurrencies: assets with their own blockchain and their own consensus. A wrapped coin, a staked derivative or a stablecoin is a claim on something already counted; a token, memecoin or otherwise, runs on another chain's blocks. All of them are listed, each in its own section, and none is added to the total. The 691 places between MANTRA's two ranks are held by claims and tokens, not by other networks. The methodology sets out the rule and the counting rule argues for it.
The price above is the median of the exchanges the site reads live, checked every minute and cross-checked against a market snapshot (how market data is gathered). The grade is scored on published criteria, each with its source (the method). The site is independent, nothing on it is a paid placement, and its statements are signed (about CoinSpectrum, the manifesto).
