EVM Precompiles

Precompiled contracts available in the MANTRA Chain EVM

Precompiled contracts (precompiles) are built-in contracts available at fixed addresses that provide functionality beyond what standard EVM opcodes offer. MANTRA Chain includes the standard Ethereum precompiles as well as custom precompiles that bridge the EVM with the underlying Cosmos SDK modules.

Standard Ethereum Precompiles

These precompiles are part of the core Ethereum specification and are available on all EVM-compatible chains.

Precompile	Address	Description
ECRecover	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001	Recovers the signer address from an ECDSA signature
SHA-256	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002	Computes the SHA-256 hash of the input
RIPEMD-160	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000003	Computes the RIPEMD-160 hash of the input
Identity	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000004	Returns the input data unchanged (used for memory copying)
ModExp (EIP-198)	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000005	Performs modular exponentiation
ECAdd (alt_bn128)	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000006	Performs point addition on the alt_bn128 elliptic curve
ECMul (alt_bn128)	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000007	Performs scalar multiplication on the alt_bn128 elliptic curve
ECPairing (alt_bn128)	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000008	Performs pairing checks on the alt_bn128 elliptic curve
BLAKE2F (EIP-152)	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000009	Executes the BLAKE2b F compression function

MANTRA Stateless Precompiles

These custom precompiles extend the EVM with additional cryptographic and address-conversion utilities. They do not modify chain state.

Precompile	Address	Description
P256	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000100	Verifies P-256 (secp256r1) elliptic curve signatures
Bech32	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000400	Converts between hex and Bech32 address formats

MANTRA Stateful Precompiles (Cosmos Modules)

These precompiles provide EVM access to Cosmos SDK module functionality. Because they interact with on-chain state, they can read and write data just like a regular smart contract call.

Precompile	Address	Description
Staking	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000800	Delegate, undelegate, and redelegate MANTRA to validators
Distribution	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000801	Claim staking rewards and manage distribution parameters
ICS20 (IBC Transfer)	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000802	Send cross-chain IBC token transfers from the EVM
Vesting	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000803	Create and query vesting accounts
Bank	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000804	Query balances and send native tokens
Gov	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000805	Submit and vote on governance proposals
Slashing	0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000806	Query validator signing info and slashing parameters
