As 2025 wrapped, we reflected on a year that pushed the boundaries of what onchain FX infrastructure can deliver. From new integrations to advancing core protocol components, the past twelve months marked a turning point in building the foundation for a truly global, interoperable FX layer.

Here’s a quick recap of what happened in Q4, and a preview of what we’re gearing up for in 2026.

News & Events

Mento is Coming to Monad

Mento is bringing institutional-grade onchain FX infrastructure to the Monad ecosystem. As the first chain in Mento’s multichain expansion beyond its home chain, Celo, Monad provides the performance environment needed to extend reliable onchain currency exchange across ecosystems. As stablecoins evolve into core financial rails, expanding to high-performance chains like Monad supports real-world use cases such as payments, treasury management, and cross-border activity at scale.

A New Chapter in Multichain FX

Following the successful governance vote, Mento’s full stablecoin suite is transitioning from cXXX → XXXm (e.g. USDm → Mento Dollar, EURm → Mento Euro). This is the beginning of Mento V3: a multichain FX infrastructure, unlocking programmable currency exchange at institutional scale and expanding across chains.

No user action required. Smart contracts, pegs, reserves, and integrations remain unchanged. Read details

Expanding Onchain FX

Mento decentralized stablecoins are now available directly in Ledger Wallet. Users can securely hold and transact in USDm, EURm, COPm, GHSm, and BRLm. This brings local currency stablecoins closer to everyday global use and opens a door to onchain foreign exchange for millions worldwide. Access via Ledger
