Building the Future of Onchain FX

With these new stablecoins, Mento becomes the most globally diverse platform for onchain FX trading. Users and institutions can now access an expanded range of currency pairs - including seven new local currency stablecoins for G7 and key African markets - directly onchain, with the speed, transparency, and security of DeFi.

‍

Growing Portfolio of Mento Decentralized Stablecoins Unlocks:

• Instant onchain FX trading, 24/7: No banks, no borders, no waiting. Users can swap between global and local currencies anytime, anywhere.

• Lower costs, fewer intermediaries: Removes hidden fees and delays typical of traditional FX services.

• Transparent pricing: Onchain oracles ensure real-time, tamper-resistant price feeds.

• New trading opportunities: Access a broader set of currency pairs, arbitrage paths, and hedging strategies.

• Programmable money: Partners and builders can integrate cross-currency logic into dApps and smart contracts with ease.

‍

A Step Toward Global Currency Interoperability

Traditional FX markets are siloed, expensive, and largely inaccessible to everyday users. In contrast, Mento’s FX infrastructure is decentralized, transparent, accessible 24/7 with near instant settlement and permissionless, designed for a truly global financial system.

‍

The launch of additional decentralized local currency stablecoins on Mento supports real-world use cases such as:

‍

• Cross-border payments, global payroll and remittances

• Algorithmic trading and arbitrage strategies

• Multi-currency DeFi applications

• Onchain treasury management for DeFi platforms and DAOs

• Local payments in trusted stable local currencies

‍

What This Means for the Mento Ecosystem

Mento now offers the broadest selection of stable, fiat-pegged local currency decentralized stablecoins available onchain. This opens the door to building a robust and scalable FX infrastructure that’s community driven with decentralization at its core.
