J. P. Mullin OM token burn

J.P. Mullin’s OM token burn sparks transparency push and staking rewards boost

Khaled Darwish Khaled Darwish

J.P. Mullin’s OM token burn has triggered major waves in the MANTRA ecosystem and crypto gaming space.

Following community outrage after OM’s 90% price crash on April 13, MANTRA CEO John Patrick Mullin burned his entire 150 million OM token allocation. This bold move aims to rebuild trust and show transparency after what many called one of the project’s most chaotic weeks.

The burn, which permanently removes the tokens from circulation, will cut OM’s total supply significantly. The burned tokens had been staked since MANTRA Chain’s October 2024 mainnet launch and were initially used to secure the network.

A second 150 million token burn, currently under discussion with ecosystem partners, would reduce the supply even further—from 1.82 billion to just 1.52 billion OM. This is a serious shift in the project’s tokenomics and a strong signal that MANTRA is going deflationary.

Tokenomics Shift and APR Boost

With the J.P. Mullin OM token burn reducing staked tokens from 571.8 million to 421.8 million, staking rewards are set to rise.

The chain’s bonded ratio will fall from 31.47% to 25.30%. That decrease means higher annual percentage rates (APRs) for stakers on MANTRA Chain. For long-term holders and play-to-earn participants, this represents a major incentive boost.

A complete burn verification report will be released once the final transaction hits the blockchain. The process has already been made publicly transparent with on-chain transaction hashes.

ANOTHER MUST-READ ON ICN.LIVE:

J.P. Mullin’s OM token burn sends a strong signal

The burn comes after allegations of insider selling and a $40 million OM token dump into OKXClick here for more Details by a wallet reportedly tied to the team. The event caused OM to crash over 90% in one hour, sparking mass liquidations and accusations of betrayal from the community.

This backlash forced MANTRA to take immediate action. Mullin’s token burn, now confirmed, was designed to counter these accusations and bring the project back to its decentralization-first mission.

What is the J. P. Mullin OM token burn and why does it matter?

The J. P. Mullin OM token burn refers to MANTRA CEO John Patrick Mullin’s decision to destroy his full 150 million OM token allocation. This move is meant to rebuild trust and promote transparency after the OM token experienced a massive price crash. By permanently removing these tokens from circulation, MANTRA reduces the total supply of OM, signaling a deflationary shift in tokenomics. It also reinforces the project’s commitment to decentralization and long-term sustainability.

How will the token burn impact the supply and staking dynamics?

The burn directly reduces the circulating supply of OM by 150 million tokens. If a second burn of equal size goes ahead, the total reduction will hit 300 million OM, bringing the total supply down from 1.82 billion to 1.52 billion. With fewer tokens staked, the bonded ratio on MANTRA Chain will drop from 31.47% to 25.30%, which is expected to lead to higher staking annual percentage rates (APRs), rewarding those who continue to stake their OM.

Why did this burn happen now?

The timing of the burn follows a severe crash in the OM token’s price on April 13, when it fell over 90% within an hour. The incident was reportedly triggered by a $40 million OM deposit to OKX from a wallet allegedly tied to the team, sparking fears of insider selling and eroding community trust. In response, John Patrick Mullin committed to burning his entire token allocation to demonstrate accountability and signal a course correction for the project.

What comes next for MANTRA and OM?

Following this burn, MANTRA has announced plans to work with its ecosystem partners on a second 150 million OM token burn. This next step would double the deflationary impact and further support long-term token value. The project also plans to release a full onchain verification report after the final transaction is confirmed. The strategy moving forward appears focused on supply reduction, transparency, and restoring confidence in OM’s tokenomics and leadership.
