Temporary Transaction Restrictions

As with new asset listings, some temporary trading restrictions will apply to OM:

• Minimum Sale Price Limit: During the same period, sell orders cannot be placed at 10% below the previous closing price.
• Order Type Limitation: Only limit orders will be accepted for 2 hours after trading starts.

These measures aim to maintain market stability and prevent sudden price fluctuations.

What is OM Token?

MANTRA (OM) is the native token of MANTRA Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on tokenization of physical assets, based on Cosmos SDK and compatible with the Ethereum virtual machine. The network offers the following components optimized for enterprise use:

• MANTRA DID: Authentication system
• MANTRA Guard: DeFi security module that supports regulatory compliance
• MANTRA Token Service: Physical asset tokenization infrastructure

The OM token is used for network fees, staking, governance, authentication levels, liquidity incentives, and regulatory reporting.

The listing of MANTRA (OM) further demonstrates Upbit’s emphasis on DeFi-focused projects in its expanding digital asset portfolio, and is expected to attract increasing interest from institutional and individual investors.
