Big money meets big ideas in the world of real-world asset tokenization
In a bold move to accelerate blockchain innovation, MANTRA Chain has launched the MANTRA Ecosystem Fund (MEF), a massive $108 million initiative aimed at fueling the next wave of blockchain projects. Focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and the evolution of DeFi, this fund is all about turning Web3 potential into real-world impact.
What’s MANTRA All About?
MANTRA Chain is a layer 1 blockchain purpose-built to support the tokenization of real-world assets. That means it’s designed to bridge traditional finance and blockchain, making things like real estate, equities, and commodities accessible on-chain.
“In an era where blockchain is transforming finance, the MEF will serve as a launchpad for projects driving real-world adoption,” said John Patrick Mullin, CEO and founder of MANTRA.
What Will MEF Do?
The MANTRA Ecosystem Fund will deploy exactly $108,888,888 over the next four years. In effect, investing in promising blockchain startups around the globe. But this isn’t just about cash, MEF wants to:
- ✅ Fuel RWA-focused innovations
- ✅ Accelerate DeFi evolution
- ✅ Support projects at all stages, from concept to launch

By combining financial support with strategic partnerships, the fund aims to be more than just an investor – it wants to be a long-term ecosystem builder.
