M^0 Goes Live on Solana
On April 9, 2025, M^0 officially launched its decentralized stablecoin platform on Solana, bringing a scalable, low-cost solution for issuing and managing programmable digital dollars. This integration allows stablecoin builders to leverage Solana’s high throughput and efficiency to deliver faster and cheaper financial services.
KAST to Launch Stablecoin Using M^0
KAST will be the first organization to issue a stablecoin—KAST dollars—on Solana through the M^0 ecosystem. By using M^0’s modular and programmable infrastructure, KAST aims to offer innovative savings and payment products with its own branded digital currency. This move sets a new benchmark for the creation of customizable, interoperable stablecoins.
Major Integrations Across the DeFi Ecosystem
Several notable protocols are partnering with M^0 to integrate $M into their platforms:
| Partner | Integration Summary |
|---|---|
| Spree Finance | Will integrate $M to power liquidity, yield, and credit use cases. Spree Points (SP), the platform’s loyalty token, will now be backed by $M. |
| Squads Protocol | Treasury management platform on Solana will use $M to boost yield tracking and earnings for businesses and individuals. |
| Jito | Launching two liquidity pools on Raydium: jitoSOL/wM and USDC/M, with deep $M liquidity and 5,000 JTO/week incentives. |
| Perena | Integrating $M into its Numeraire AMM, helping develop new stablecoin applications and minting hubs with native yield. |
Liquidity Strategy and Multichain Expansion
As part of its initial liquidity rollout, M^0 is partnering with Kamino Finance to launch liquidity pools on Raydium, with incentives to bootstrap deep liquidity. The jitoSOL/M pool will be incentivized with 5,000 JTO per week, providing yield opportunities for liquidity providers.
Additionally, M^0 utilizes Wormhole NTT to bridge its infrastructure to Solana, enhancing its multichain capabilities and promoting the widespread adoption of its universal stablecoin platform.
Expert Take
The launch of M^0 on Solana, along with integrations from KAST and major DeFi protocols, marks a major milestone in the evolution of decentralized stablecoin infrastructure. By combining M^0’s customizable and secure framework with Solana’s high-speed performance, the ecosystem is now better equipped than ever to support real-world payments, savings, and programmable financial products.
It’s a big win not just for builders—but for anyone tired of stablecoins that are… well, just too stable in innovation.
