Acquiring mantraUSD

Note

This documentation is under development - while the first step is acquiring mantraUSD, we are working to build a native interface to transfer this mantraUSD to NVNM Chain (which transfers in the form of wrapped mantraUSD wmantraUSD). Keep an eye on this space! Updates coming soon!

mantraUSD is the deposit and gas asset for NVNM Chain. This page covers every supported path to get mantraUSD into your wallet on MANTRA Chain.

Option 1 — Express Bridge (get.mantrausd.com)

The fastest and simplest route. The mantraUSD Express Bridge accepts USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum and delivers mantraUSD to your MANTRA Chain wallet at a 1:1 ratio with no slippage.

This is the recommended path if you are starting from stablecoins on a major EVM chain.

Steps:

Go to get.mantrausd.com
Connect your wallet on the source chain
Select your source asset (USDC or USDT) and source chain
Enter the amount and confirm the transaction
mantraUSD arrives on MANTRA Chain at 1:1

Option 2 — Squid Router (squidrouter.com)

Squid Router is a cross-chain swap aggregator. It routes from any supported asset on any supported chain directly into mantraUSD on MANTRA Chain in a single transaction.

Use this path if you are starting from a non-stablecoin asset (ETH, BTC, USDC on an unsupported chain, etc.) or if you want a single-step cross-chain swap without manual bridging.

Steps:

Go to Squid Router
Set the destination chain to MANTRA Chain and the destination token to mantraUSD
Select your source chain and asset
Review the route and confirm

Option 3 — Bridge USDT via Lucid, then swap on QuickSwap

This path uses Lucid to bridge USDT to MANTRA Chain, then swaps to mantraUSD on QuickSwap.

Step 1 — Bridge USDT via Lucid

Go to Lucid and bridge USDT from your source chain to MANTRA Chain. Lucid delivers native USDT (0x3806640578b710d8480910bF51510bc538d2F51A) to your MANTRA Chain EVM wallet.

Step 2 — Swap USDT for mantraUSD on QuickSwap

Go to QuickSwap on MANTRA Chain (Chain ID 5888). The link preloads USDT as the source and mantraUSD as the destination. Confirm the swap.

Note: You need a small MANTRA balance in your wallet to pay gas on MANTRA Chain. See Acquire Tokens if your wallet has no MANTRA for gas.

Option 4 — Bridge USDC via Hyperlane, then swap on QuickSwap

This path uses Hyperlane to bridge USDC to MANTRA Chain, then swaps to mantraUSD on QuickSwap.

Step 1 — Bridge USDC via Hyperlane

Go to Hyperlane Nexus and bridge USDC from your source chain to MANTRA Chain. The link preloads MANTRA Chain as the destination with USDC as the destination token. Hyperlane delivers bridged USDC (0x5E76be0F4e09057D75140216F70fd4cE3365bb29) to your MANTRA Chain EVM wallet.

Step 2 — Swap USDC for mantraUSD on QuickSwap

Go to QuickSwap on MANTRA Chain (Chain ID 5888). The link preloads USDC as the source and mantraUSD as the destination. Confirm the swap.
