Now, you can check your wallets’ eligibility via airdrop.manta.network.

Manta’s core mission is to build for users. In our effort to align with that mission, Into the Blue will reward you and other long-term users and supporters of the entire Manta ecosystem with an immediate airdrop of 50,000,000 $MANTA tokens, equivalent to 5% of the total supply.
Into the Blue is just one of many reward campaigns that offer our sincere gratitude for your support. Other campaigns include the ongoing Manta New Paradigm event, which offers 5% of $MANTA rewards.

Into the Blue Details

The rewards from Into the Blue are divided into two categories:

• Airdrop Rewards: 30,000,000 $MANTA (3% of total supply) is allocated for airdrop rewards to supporters and users in the Manta ecosystem on both Manta Atlantic and Manta Pacific.
• Airdrop Bonus Rewards — The Great Treasure Hunt: 20,000,000 $MANTA (2% of total supply) will be allocated as bonus rewards that can be obtained by supporters and users in the Manta ecosystem. More information about the Great Treasure Hunt, including how to obtain your piece of the Airdrop Bonus Rewards, are detailed below.
• Participants from the United States and other restricted regions are not eligible to participate
• The airdrop claim period will last for a total of 180 days.

Airdrop Rewards

The 30m $MANTA tokens allocated towards the Airdrop Rewards are divided into several categories of activities, each representing different communities and users: users on Manta Pacific, users on Manta Atlantic, and the general community.
The amounts allocated for each category as well as the eligibility criteria are outlined below.

To check for your airdrop rewards, please follow these steps:

• Visit https://airdrop.manta.network/ and log in with your Manta Pacific wallet and/or Polkadot wallet to check if your wallet address is eligible for the initial rewards. Please note that you will be able to check your eligibility, but are not yet able to claim the Airdrop.
• During your wait, you can also explore the Great Treasure Hunt to receive Airdrop Bonus Rewards.
• For addresses that do not qualify for Airdrop Rewards, you are still able to obtain $MANTA tokens through other activities such as the New Paradigm campaign.

The Great Treasure Hunt: Airdrop Bonus Rewards

Throughout your journey through the Manta ecosystem, you have participated in many activities across the Pacific and Atlantic. Unbeknownst to you, many of those challenges also contained hidden treasures: the Mysterious Treasure Chests. Obtaining a Mysterious Treasure Chest begins your adventure on the Great Treasure Hunt.
The Mysterious Treasure Chests each contain one of six treasures hidden within the Manta Pacific. While each of these treasures alone is valuable, combining all six of them will reveal the legendary Mystical Manta NFT. Each of the six NFTs you can obtain awards you with a piece of the total 20m $MANTA allocated for the Great Treasure Hunt campaign, while the Mystical Manta gives the largest allocation of that pool. The campaign begins now and will end once the MANTA Token Claim period begins.
When you discover that you have a treasure chest, you can open it immediately. Opening a treasure box will give you one of six different NFTs, each with a different rarity. You can view your Treasure NFTs in “My Treasure NFTs.”
About each of the six NFTs you can find in your Treasure Chest:

1. Mother of Pearl (Common): A true pleasure to behold, the Mother of Pearl is said to bring wealth and prosperity to anyone who holds it. But don’t stare at it for too long; legend says that it can drive anyone mad.
2. Ralph’s Conch (Common): A conch once used to symbolize power amongst a small group of islanders who have since been eroded from history. Now, the conch seeks a new owner worthy of commanding the oceans.
3. Cowry Shells (Rare): Once used as a standard for currency, cowry shells were collected and traded by ancient peoples for valuable goods and services.
4. Bronze Doubloons (Rare): Scattered across the Manta Pacific, Bronze Doubloons are a common form of currency used by pirates to trade goods.
5. Megalodon’s Tooth (Legendary): Only legends have described the existence of the once monstrous sharks that ruled the oceans. Some say the Megalodons closely safeguarded the mystical manta. Once the manta disappeared from the ocean, the Megalodons served no other purpose and also faded out of existence.
6. Neptune’s Trident (Legendary): Neptune’s Trident, the most powerful weapon in existence, was used to communicate with the Mystical Manta. Unfortunately, no mortal could ever unlock the secrets of how to communicate with the creature using this weapon. Perhaps the Mysterious Fisherman has discovered a way.

Obtaining the Mystical Manta

If you are lucky enough to obtain all six NFTs from the Treasure Chests, you can combine them to create the legendary Mystical Manta NFT. The Mystical Manta, once just another manta ray in the waters, sparked life in the oceans of another dimension. It has since become an energy spirit, which only those truly worthy would catch a glimpse of.

Other Ways to Obtain Treasure Chest Items and the Mystical Manta

Because the Treasure Chest items and the Mystical Manta are NFTs, that means you hold ownership over what you obtain. The NFTs are minted directly into your Manta Pacific wallet address. You are free to trade them with other community members. If you are looking for additional NFTs to complete your collection, you can explore participating marketplaces within the Manta Pacific ecosystem, including Element and Pixel Realm.
