Manta Network said it will shut down its MANTA staking program, with rewards ending on April 20, 2026. The project said inflation-based rewards dilute MANTA holders’ value, replacing the earlier timetable that said rewards would stop in two weeks. Alongside the staking change, Manta Network said it plans to take over Manta Pacific Layer 2 infrastructure operations and move to a self-operated sequencer and core tech stack.
