Mantra says CEO has begun the process of burning his 150M OM tokens

The blockchain’s founder will burn 150 million OM tokens, reducing the total supply to 1.67 billion, with another 150 million from “key ecosystem partners” to also be burned.

Mantra founder and CEO John Patrick Mullin has started unstaking 150 million of his Mantra (OM) tokens in preparation for sending them to a burn address in an attempt to restore the token’s value by tightening supply. 

Mantra announced on April 21 that the unstaking process had begun, and would be completed by April 29, at which point Mullin's Mantra (OM) tokens will be sent to the burn address and permanently removed from circulating supply.

Mullin said it was a “first step in rebuilding trust with the community, but far from the last.”
