Hi everyone,

We’ve just published a major proposal on the **Celo Forum** outlining two strategic changes for the Mento Protocol:

1. **Stablecoin Rebranding:**  
We’re proposing to rename all Mento stablecoins using a unified naming convention — for example, `cUSD` becomes `USDm`, `cEUR` becomes `EURm`, etc.  
This aligns with our multichain strategy and reinforces Mento’s identity as a cross-chain FX infrastructure.

2. **CDP-Based Stablecoin Transition:**  
We propose to transition all Mento stablecoins (except USDm) from the current reserve-backed model to a **CDP-based model** base on [Liquity v2,](https://docs.liquity.org/) where minting happens via collateralized debt positions anchored on Celo.

This brings capital efficiency, decentralized yield, and native multichain functionality — all while **driving more TVL and utility to the Celo ecosystem**.

**Read and comment on the full post here:**

You’re welcome to leave feedback **either here or on the Celo Forum** — we value your thoughts and want to hear from all parts of the community. A formal Mento Governance Proposal will follow after community feedback.

Thanks,  
**The Mento Labs Team**

Awesome. Hopefully Mento V3 will be a major wave that sweeps the FX onChain niche. The rebranding is very crucial and timely.
