Mantis

On 2024-05-28 Composable Foundation introduced MANTIS as Multi-chain Agnostic Normalized Trust-minimized Intent Settlement. The ambition was a Solana rollup whose coordination would be secured through Picasso restaking and whose reach would come from IBC.

The proposal tried to make the destination matter more than the route. Users would express a result; infrastructure would assemble liquidity and settlement across chains. That broad rollup thesis is the starting point, even though the later product took a smaller shape.

The later V1 specification centered on escrows in Ethereum and Solana. An initially off-chain auctioneer received orders, ranked bids and alone wrote the winning solver and output amount. The docs admitted it could censor orders or solutions.

The public example required a SOLVER_ID and registered addresses, then routed through Jupiter or ParaSwap. Mantis reduced the user’s clicks, but the auctioneer, solver list, routers and cross-chain messages became the people and machines behind the shortcut.

On 2024-12-16 co-founder Omar Zaki announced Arthur Hayes as adviser. Mantis described its present product as solver-based intent trading and AI agents as the next stage.

Allora’s 2025-05-12 announcement later put predictive feeds inside DISE. That supports a real integration, while custody, conditional orders, perpetuals, Base, vaults and open sourcing remained written in future tense.

Official docs allocated 100 million genesis M: 16.2% to the launch, about 16.0% to ecosystem and community, 16.8% to Foundation treasury, 15.5% to seed backers, 10.4% to Series A and 25% to the team.

ABAG dated the TGE to 2025-02-11 and disclosed 4.3 million M earned through financing, incubation and advice. Just over 140,000 unlocked immediately; most vested for 30 months. One corporate disclosure made the difference between supply and liquidity tangible.

The launch claim tied half of an airdrop to a three-month vest if the first half was staked. A public repository documented deployed staking and vesting programs, so this utility moved beyond a white-paper promise.

On 2025-04-25, authorized upgrade-loader instructions closed both ProgramData accounts and returned rent to the same authority. Program shells remain, but their executable code is gone. Present-tense claims about that documented staking path are therefore stale.

On 2026-09-05 Solana still reported 99,997,279.098581709 M. Mint and freeze authorities were null. That fixed two token-level controls, while governance lacked a named Mantis Realms deployment and solver or agent bonds remained proposed.

The same day, checked Mantis app, docs and forum domains did not resolve. No formal shutdown notice was found. The evidence supports a surviving token and historical code, but not a live product or a holder claim on company revenue, treasury assets, redemption or continued service.
