- Project and token overview
Mehen is a project centered around creating a secure and compliant fiat-backed stablecoin on the Cardano blockchain. The USDM token will launch on 19 December 2023 and has a 1:1 peg with USD. The token is fully backed by fiat, becoming the first-of-the-kind native Cardano stablecoin. The team’s goal is securing full-on compliance with US and EU laws and regulators, which will establish USDM as a reliable bridge between TradFi and DeFi.
- Explain the positioning of the token in the Cardano ecosystem. How will it benefit the protocol?
Compared to other native stablecoins, USDM is a more stable and capital-efficient solution. The 1:1 backing with USD and the proper licensing make it a potential first choice for DeFi and on-chain payments.
- What’s the asset’s utility?
- 1:1 US dollar peg with fiat-backed reserves and FinCen licensing in several US states.
- Transparent and secure minting and redeeming without added costs.
- Scalable on-chain payments with seamless integration.
- More than 10m ADA TVL across Cardano DEXs, which makes it highly liquid and efficient stablecoin on Cardano.
Conclusion
Mehen’s USDM stablecoin already has over 10m ADA TVL and whitelisting it will greatly improve the user experience and stablecoin liquidity on Lenfi.
