In a significant development for the Bitcoin ecosystem, Mezo has launched its Mainnet, unveiling the industry’s first full-stack Bitcoin economy. This platform allows users to leverage their Bitcoin as collateral to mint MUSD, the first fully Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, without having to sell their assets. Mezo offers access to credit with fixed-rate loans starting at a low 1% interest rate, significantly lower than traditional Bitcoin lending which typically sits around 5% to 20%. Mezo’s innovation enables users to leverage their Bitcoin holdings while maintaining ownership of their BTC. This Mainnet launch follows a successful Testnet phase where over $322 million in stablecoin and wrapped Bitcoin deposits were recorded alongside $1.8 billion borrowed through MUSD loans and over 154,000 transactions. The platform aims to simplify Bitcoin finance by eliminating common barriers like slippage, high transaction fees, and bridging complexities. The Mezo ecosystem also integrates Tigris, a native incentive engine that manages rewards and protocol revenue, promoting long-term participation. To boost adoption, Mezo partnered with Lolli, a rewards platform with over 600,000 users, to integrate Bitcoin cashback and rewards into its economy, making it easier for users to earn and spend Bitcoin in real-world transactions. Other key partnerships include BitRefill, Ledger, Fold, SheFi, and Wormhole to offer services like gift cards, wallets, lending, and decentralized finance, all designed to help users realize the true potential of Bitcoin without selling or relying on traditional financial institutions. Mezo aims to be a leader in bankless personal finance, driving mass adoption through practicality, affordability, and accessibility for both retail and institutional users globally.
