MANTRA Chain Halts Operations, Trading and Deposits Frozen

A full operational halt is a more serious signal than a routine exploit disclosure, because it removes users' ability to exit positions while the team investigates. The immediate burden falls on holders and any protocols or venues that bridge into MANTRA, since frozen deposits and withdrawals can leave counterparties stuck even if their own systems are unaffected. The open questions are the nature of the incident and whether the team publishes a credible post-mortem; how the restart is handled, and whether it is orderly, will matter more than the pause itself.
