M^0 Foundation

We’re excited to announce that M^0 has adopted Chainlink infrastructure to deliver net asset value (NAV) data on Ethereum for our decentralized stablecoin, $M. ​​By leveraging Chainlink’s SmartData suite of asset servicing solutions, we are improving the transparency of $M. The on-chain NAV feed for $M is available f.

The core M^0 protocol is a coordination layer for permissioned institutional actors to generate $M. $M is a fungible token that can be generated by locking Eligible Collateral in a secure offchain facility. The protocol enforces a common set of rules and safety procedures for the management of $M. 

$M is designed to be a foundational stablecoin building block , offering unparalleled composability and reliability for developers, stablecoin builders, crypto builders and more. $M enables the creation of innovative financial products while maintaining a strong emphasis on safety, transparency, and interoperability. By leveraging $M, builders gain access to the shared liquidity of the M^0 network and an expanding range of use cases. Builders also have full control over how reserve collateral yield is utilized and can integrate custom functionality, starting with $M as their stablecoin block.

Enhancing Stablecoins With Chainlink SmartData

By integrating Chainlink SmartData, integrators of $M can now access NAV data on-chain with unparalleled accuracy and security. Here’s how Chainlink’s infrastructure enhances $M:

  • Secure and Reliable Data: Chainlink’s decentralized oracle networks play a pivotal role in ensuring that NAV data is made available on-chain in a timely and accurate manner. Chainlink securely fetches and validates this data through M^0’s standard Minter APIs, which directly access the custodian bank layer, ensuring that the information used for $M is consistent and up-to-date.
  • Enhanced Transparency: One of Chainlink’s key strengths is its ability to provide an immutable and transparent audit trail for NAV data that is tamper-proof and easily verifiable. NAV complements the daily on-chain collateral updates that individual Minters have to do and provides a holistic, aggregate depiction of the ecosystem's net asset value and $M's overall financial health.
