Over the past few weeks, Manta has gotten onto the radar of most crypto investors as excitement around its New Paradigm campaign, promising early participants rewards, saw its TVL jump over 2,000% in a month.&nbsp; 
However, following the conclusion of the rewards program many of the participants have been left disappointed and furious.

In late 2023, Manta Pacific launched the New ParadigmManta Pacific’s Long-anticipated Airdrop Failed Meet Expectations program to reward network participants who locked assets on the protocol and interacted within the ecosystem using receipt tokens.&nbsp;

However, come distribution day, most of these investors were disappointed, with some noting that they did not even get enough to cover transaction fees that they had paid on the network. 
“Worst airdrop ever.. not even to cover gas fees,” one user wrote.

Meanwhile, the Manta Pacific debacle does not end there. Amid the complaints over the underwhelming rewards, the project also stands accused of dumping on its holders minutes after the token was listed on exchanges. 
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-dumping-on-holders-or-project-expansion-span">Dumping On Holders Or Project Expansion?</h3> 
During the MANTA token distribution, the South Korean crypto community accused the Manta development team of dumping on their users within minutes of the asset’s listing.&nbsp;

The group posted proof that the project’s Korean business developer had exchanged nearly 3 million MANTA tokens to ETH within five minutes of the asset’s listing on Bithumb, which was promptly withdrawn to the team member’s wallet.

In response to the claims, however, the Manta Network has asserted that the funds are part of an allocation to expand the project’s footprint in South Korea. 
Despite the low sentiment, MANTA is still up 5.6% in the last 24 hours at the time of writing, trading at $2.22, per Coinstats data.
