Manta Network Will Shut Down Its Staking Program

Manta Network announced on X that it will shut down its staking program, stating that the inflationary reward mechanism is inconsistent with the project’s long-term vision as it permanently dilutes the value held by MANTA token holders. Staking rewards will officially cease in two weeks, on April 20, 2026. Node operators may exit the program at any time starting today. No network rewards will be issued after the staking program ends. Manta Network added that it plans to take over the Layer 2 infrastructure operations of Manta Pacific, transitioning to self-operated sequencers and an in-house tech stack to enhance network autonomy and streamline operational structure.
