**MANTRA Chain** distinguishes itself from other blockchains by enforcing compliance directly at the protocol level, rather than through smart contracts. This approach provides **real regulatory certainty** for institutions looking to tokenize billions in assets. The platform positions compliance not as an optional feature, but as the fundamental foundation of their infrastructure. Key differentiators: - Protocol-level compliance enforcement vs. smart contract additions - Built-in regulatory requirements in core infrastructure - Institutional-grade tokenization capabilities This regulatory-first approach aims to attract traditional financial institutions seeking compliant blockchain solutions for asset tokenization.
