Mento also supports integrating any currency, including native and third-party stablecoins, into its FX infrastructure.

Mento has served 8M+ users to date and processed 700M transactions representing $15B in trading volume over the past 12 months.

Use Cases

Onchain FX & Trading Liquidity

Mento is the FX layer for DeFi, powering 24/7 global markets with local and major currency liquidity. Designed to support both institutional strategies and emerging DeFi use cases, Mento unifies fragmented liquidity across chains while reducing FX friction at every level.

Earning Yield

Mento makes it possible to participate in DeFi and earn yield in local currency stablecoins, expanding access beyond USD. By holding and deploying Mento stablecoins like cKES, cCOP, or cREAL, users and protocols can tap into a growing ecosystem of onchain opportunities while maintaining alignment with local pricing and purchasing behavior.

Cross-Border Payments

Mento enables users and businesses to transact across borders without the high fees, long settlement times, and third-party intermediaries that traditional financial systems require.

Local Payments

Mento decentralized stablecoins enable fast, borderless payments in local currencies including cKES, cGHS, and cCOP. From e-commerce to payroll, users and businesses can use Mento for instant, low-cost transactions that feel local—backed by strong on/off-ramp integrations. Mento makes it easy for users to plug into real-world value flows.
