In a notice published on November 13, 2026, at 19:52 (UTC+8), Odaily reported that MANTRA had paused all new unbonding transactions for seven days. The pause followed a reported exposure of Web3Auth and Keplr wallet private keys.
According to MANTRA’s monitoring, attackers took liquid assets from affected users’ wallets and then initiated unbonding of their staked MANTRA tokens without consent. Unbonding is the process of releasing staked tokens; it is distinct from an immediate transfer of those tokens.
Unbonding already in progress was not affected by the pause. MANTRA said affected users needed to redelegate before the eight-day unbonding period ended to prevent attackers from claiming the tokens. It said it would reassess the pause after seven days. Odaily also reported that MANTRA had previously frozen several attacker wallets through governance proposal No. 41.
