🌊 vMANTA 2.0 Is Coming: A New Era of Staking Begins

Big news for the Manta & Bifrost communities 👇

As part of the Manta Network staking upgrade, rewards on the Manta Atlantic network are gradually coming to an end.

But this isn’t the end of staking, it’s an evolution.

To align with Manta’s new Ethereum-based staking model, Bifrost is upgrading $vMANTA to vMANTA 2.0, designed to bring you more stable, sustainable yield for the long term.

⚙️ What’s Changing?

The upgrade will fully integrate Manta’s new staking system on Ethereum, enhancing yield consistency while simplifying cross-chain operations.

During the transition, there will be a few important steps so mark your calendar

📆 Migration Timeline

🔸 Oct 22: All $MANTA staked on Manta Atlantic will be redeemed (takes ~7–8 days).

⏸️ vMANTA yield distribution will pause during this period.

🔸 Oct 27: Deployment of the vMANTA Vault Contract on Ethereum.

🔸 Oct 29: vMANTA minting and redemption suspended across Bifrost, Manta Pacific, and Moonbeam.

🔸 Oct 30: Migration of MANTA staking and reserves begins.

⚠️ Cross-chain functionality will be temporarily disabled.

🔸 Oct 31: Cross-chain routes between parachains will close, leaving only the Bifrost ↔ Ethereum bridge via @Hyperbridge.

🔸 Nov 5: vMANTA 2.0 officially launches!

Minting and redemption open on both Bifrost and Ethereum networks.

💡 Why This Matters

vMANTA 2.0 isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a long-term move toward multi-chain staking resilience.

By shifting to Ethereum, the new version ensures smoother integration with DeFi protocols and a more predictable yield model for every user.
