Celebrating Mento Labs’ Third Anniversary: A Year of Accelerating Onchain FX

As Mento marks its third year, the platform has grown from launching local currency stablecoins into a thriving global ecosystem now serving 10+ million users across 6 continents with an 18B annualized volume, supported by a broad network of partners, and delivering stable value where it’s needed most.

2025 was pivotal, marked by expanded reach, deepened utility, and a new brand identity that reflects our evolving mission. From multichain protocol upgrades to new local stablecoins and real-world adoption at scale, Mento has evolved beyond a stablecoin platform to become a full-scale infrastructure shaping the future of onchain foreign exchange (FX), driven by community collaboration and real-world utility.

Mento Momentum by the Numbers
‍

Our growth in 2025 tells a clear story of scale, community, and unstoppable utility:

• With the launch of eight new stablecoins including GHS (Ghanaian Cedi), GBP (British Pound), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), cZAR (South African Rand),  CHF (Swiss Franc), JPY (Japanese Yen), and NGN (Nigerian Naira), Mento became the most globally diverse onchain FX platform, now powering 17 live stablecoins across 6 continents. 
• We’ve selected Wormhole as our official interoperability provider, to enable real-time multichain FX and seamless movement of 15+ global and local stablecoins across chains.
• As we prepare for MENTO tokens’ official launch soon, we’ve kicked off a major rewards campaign for MiniPay users with early access to MENTO tokens. 
• Integrated the Chainlink data standard as the most widely adopted oracle in the industry to power the ~$20B in annualized volume transacted on the protocol.
• Announced our new brand identity to better reflect the evolution of the platform and our bold vision of becoming the leading onchain FX layer. 
• Mento’s social reach continued to expand, with 65,000+ followers on X and an active Discord community of 20,000+ members contributing to governance and development.

Growing Our Ecosystem
‍

Dedicated to fostering growth and inclusion within our ecosystem, Mento continues to prioritize building robust community infrastructure by making the platform accessible and understandable for newcomers while equipping developers with the tools and knowledge needed to innovate and contribute meaningfully.

• We maintain dedicated regional channels, including a Turkish X channel, Korean Community Telegram and an active global Discord and Telegram communities to engage local markets and developers.
• Developers building on Mento now benefit from multichain support, interoperable stablecoins and open-source tools for FX-oriented integrations.
• Our team actively participates in local and global events - including the Africa Tech Summit with our payment partner Pretium, ETHCC Cannes, where we shared a booth with MiniPay,  Korea Blockchain Week, Token 2049, Smartcon with our partner Chainlink and many more to advance our mission of bringing onchain FX swaps to the world.

Looking Ahead

‍
We remain committed to investing in education, community incentives, governance, and user growth. With the upcoming launch of the V3 protocol, we’re introducing:
‍

- Oracle-driven Fixed-Price Market Makers (FPMMs) for real-world FX rates
- Fast, transparent, and cost-efficient FX swaps
- Unified, programmable system operating 24/7 across chains and borders, governed by the Mento community.

To our partners, community, and supporters, thank you for being part of our vision to build a decentralized, stablecoin-powered future where anyone, anywhere can access financial tools that are local, stable, and built for real-world use.
