Overview
The Mantra blockchain suffered a critical security breach when an attacker exploited a vulnerability in its software, causing the network to halt block production. This incident triggered a sharp 18% plunge in the Mantra token price to a record low of $0.004126. Following the halt, exchanges suspended deposits and withdrawals to protect users. Although the token price partially rebounded to about $0.0044, the network remains impacted by the exploit, raising concerns about the chain's security and stability.
