Twenty Stablecoins: A Year of M0 Extensions
A newspaper-style review of twelve months of stablecoin extensions built on M0 — twenty digital dollars across eighteen chains, from MetaMask's wallet dollar to MoneyGram's remittance rail. TVL analytics, per-partner reporting, and money-flow diagrams, with supply figures read live from the M0 protocol API.
Two years in, M0 has processed over $1.1B in mints, expanded to Solana and 15+ EVM chains, and become the first white-labeled stablecoin platform. With JMI and new liquidity offerings on the horizon, going back to basics: how and why things were built the way they were.
Hi, my name is An-toni-na and I'm from Kyiv, Ukraine ♥♥. I've spent the last eight years in the US, splitting time between SF and NYC. I love both, but undeniably, I vibe better with the latter.
After moving to the US, I got into blockchain engineering and later found myself in DeFi — finally loving what I do and connecting the dots of my past: a math & physics lyceum, an applied math master's, and systems programming at an undisclosed R&D lab.
Currently, I'm leading the engineering team at M0, building in the hottest 🔥 and most stable corner of the industry, while slowly working toward a second degree in finance from Harvard Extension School. When TradFi & DeFi worlds merge into something productive, I want to be there too.
When I'm not working or chasing kids around (which is almost never), I like to get out and explore the countless beautiful places in and around NYC.
