MANTRA Chain Back Online After 30-Hour Network Halt Following EVM Exploit

MANTRA Chain resumed block production at 5:30 a.m. UTC on Aug. 22 after a roughly 30-hour outage caused by an exploit in its Cosmos-EVM module. The vulnerability halted all transactions, staking, and bridge activity. Version 8.4.0 patched the flaw and added extra security protections before validators restarted the network. Two MANTRA-managed wallets were affected, but user funds were not compromised.
