Worth it if you are a fintech or institution wanting to issue a branded stablecoin on a shared, collateralized base ($M), without building the infrastructure from scratch.

Avoid it if you are an end consumer: M0 is B2B infrastructure not directly accessible, and the protocol is young, with governance and adoption still maturing.

M0 is an on-chain stablecoin issuance protocol that lets approved institutions mint a shared base token ($M), backed by high-quality collateral (e.g. US Treasuries), and wrap it into configurable branded stablecoins. It gives fintechs, payment platforms and institutions a modular infrastructure (application, distribution and issuance layers) to launch their own stablecoin. Founded in 2023 by Luca Prosperi (former MakerDAO), it has raised around $100M in total (a $40M Series B led by Polychain and Ribbit Capital).

FAQ

Can an individual use M0?

No. M0 is an issuance protocol aimed at institutions and fintechs wanting to launch a stablecoin; consumers at most use the branded stablecoins built on top of M0, not the protocol directly.

Does M0 custody user funds?

No. M0 is a non-custodial on-chain protocol: collateral is handled by approved issuers/custodians, not by M0 as an intermediary of end-user funds.
