Company Info

 

The M0 Foundation is a modular stablecoin infrastructure protocol founded by Luca Prosperi, Gregory Di Prisco, and Oliver Schimek, building the future of programmable digital dollars, Web3 finance, and on-chain money systems. It offers developers, fintechs, and crypto native companies the ability to build their own stablecoin with total control over the issuance, liquidity, compliance, and monetary policy. Unlike stablecoin issuers, M0 operates as an infrastructural layer for monetary policy, giving businesses the ability to create their own branded dollar while utilizing the shared liquidity and issuance rails.
