Binance has joined Mantra’s validator network, standing alongside leading industry names such as Nansen, Google Cloud, Twinstake, and Hex Trust.
Mantra has officially added Binance to its mainnet validator set, a significant step forward in strengthening the network’s security and decentralization of governance.
Through this partnership, users can take advantage of attractive incentives, including up to 29.9% APR rewards on OM locked products via Binance Simple Earn, available until the end of August.
This partnership comes as part of MANTRA’s recent initiative to diversify its validator pool by gradually replacing internal validators with trusted external partners. Binance now joins an elite group of Mantra validators, including Nansen, Google Cloud, Twinstake, and Hex Trust.
The announcement follows Mantra’s recent major collaboration with Inveniam to develop a global institutional real-world assets (RWA) ecosystem focused in the UAE and the U.S.
Mantra Keeps Building Partnerships Despite Price Decline
Despite adding Binance—the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume—Mantra’s native token OM has dropped 10% in the past 24 hours, trading around $0.26 at press time. The token remains stuck in a prolonged downtrend following a sharp 90% crash on April 13, although early signs of a potential reversal are starting to appear.
Meanwhile, the Mantra team continues to push the project forward through strategic partnerships. Before the recent collaboration with Inveniam, Mantra teamed up with agri-tech platform Dimitra to tokenize agricultural commodities such as cacao and carbon credits. The project also partnered with WIN Investments to launch “transfer tokens” linked to FIFA’s Solidarity Mechanism, allowing fans to financially participate in football player transfers.
In addition, Brazil’s largest crypto exchange, Mercado Bitcoin, is working with Mantra to tokenize over $200 million in assets this year, expanding Mantra’s presence in Latin America.
Crypto analyst Park Yong recently commented on Mantra’s post-crash efforts:
“Let’s be clear — yes, OM took a hard hit. The crash was brutal. But it wasn’t caused by a broken protocol or failed product. It was a liquidity wipeout triggered by cascading liquidations on centralized exchanges—a systemic event, not a project flaw. The fact that OM survived such a washout, continued growing its RWA base, integrated new tokenized assets, and maintained regulatory clarity speaks volumes about its resilience.”
However, OM’s price action tells a different story, reflecting investor caution and highlighting the ongoing work needed to restore confidence.
