MANTRA’s token falls about 18% to a record low as the MANTRA Chain halts after a reported exploit. Cointelegraph and CoinDesk both report sharp intraday losses, with the token briefly trading around $0.0041 before later recovering to roughly $0.0044.
CoinDesk says the network stops producing blocks shortly after the token hits a new low, and that MANTRA later attributes the halt to an attacker exploiting a software vulnerability used by the chain. Cointelegraph adds that exchanges pause deposits and withdrawals for MANTRA, citing the blockchain halt. Together, the reports link the market sell-off to disruption of on-chain activity, while their emphasis differs: CoinDesk focuses on the exploit and the network’s block-production stoppage, while Cointelegraph highlights token price movement and exchange withdrawal/deposit pauses.
The articles do not provide additional details on the scale of the exploit or the status of recovery, but they agree that the halt is tied to the reported vulnerability and that token trading reflects the interruption.
