MANTRA

MANTRA is the kind of crypto name that points to a broader ecosystem, not just a token for moving value around. By our assessment, its main strength is that it can be read as a platform play, which gives it a bigger story than a simple coin. The downside is that this kind of project usually asks for patience and a tolerance for ecosystem risk, because the token’s usefulness depends on what grows around it. In practice that means more attention to the project’s direction than to any one payment use. MANTRA sits among the many network tokens that live or fade with the strength of their surrounding activity. It is not a plain cash substitute, and that is the point as well as the limit.
