MANTRA Chain v8.4.0 Restarted, Block Production Resumed

MANTRA Chain has resumed mainnet block production just one day after a network interruption. The restart was implemented with the application of v8.4.0, and there were no rollbacks or changes to user balances. The mainnet was halted on August 21 at 8:44 AM KST and restarted on August 22 at 2:30 PM. Token holders do not need to take any additional actions. MANTRA Chain explained that the cause of the incident was related to a vulnerability in the Cosmos-EVM module, but did not disclose information regarding the specific path used by the attacker. On August 24, the status page indicated that a post-analysis report would be released. The v8.4.0 release posted on GitHub was made on August 21 and included upgrades to the MANTRA EVM dependency version and the addition of emergency upgrade heights. Exchanges responded by blocking deposits and withdrawals, with Bithumb, Bitget, KuCoin, and MEXC temporarily suspending these services. MANTRA's market capitalization is reported at $26.319 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3.466 million. This incident is more akin to a network interruption and security issue rather than a fund outflow incident.
