USDM Rebrand — MEHEN TO MONETA
As we embark on a new chapter in our journey, we’re excited to announce the rebranding of Mehen to Moneta. This transition signifies not just a name change but an evolution in our mission to bring financial autonomy to the Cardano ecosystem.
Mehen to Moneta
Mehen has been a pioneering force in the creation of the USDM fiat-backed stablecoin, a crucial asset within the Cardano ecosystem. USDM is designed to serve as a foundational asset for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, facilitating instant on-chain payments. Our vision is clear: to act as a scalable catalyst for the growth and widespread adoption of the entire Cardano network. Our journey with Mehen laid the foundation for USDM, serving as a scalable asset in the Cardano blockchain. Now, we are ready to embrace a new identity that better reflects our vision and goals.

Away from the Snake, Embracing Digital Freedom
Our transition from Mehen to Moneta represents more than just a name change; it embodies our evolution and the spirit of our mission. We have selected a butterfly as the symbol of our new brand, Moneta, affectionately referred to as “Monty” by our team. The butterfly signifies freedom and the broad spectrum of choices available in commerce and policy-making. This new symbol aligns perfectly with our goals of promoting financial autonomy and growth.
The Inspiration Behind the Moneta Logo
The Moneta logo draws its initial inspiration from the shape of a pyramid, which symbolizes strength, stability, and growth — attributes that are essential in the financial sector. The timeless association of pyramids with wealth and prosperity further underscores our mission.
Through creative rotation and subtractive design techniques, the pyramid shape metamorphoses into a minimalist wing, ultimately transforming into a butterfly. This transformation is more than aesthetic; it encapsulates our commitment to freedom, progress, and aspiration.
By strategically subtracting shapes, we achieve a final logo that conveys depth and dimensionality, adding visual intrigue and reflecting our mission to empower individuals and businesses with financial freedom and opportunities.
Introducing a New Token Icon
The design of USDM reflects its role as a trusted and stable asset in the digital economy. By incorporating elements of the Moneta wordmark, the token design achieves a lean, professional aesthetic. This design approach ensures that USDM remains scalable and adaptable, ready to evolve with future enhancements and functionalities. The flexibility in design allows for seamless integration with emerging technologies and market trends, securing USDM’s relevance and longevity in the dynamic landscape of digital finance.
Despite the rebranding, the USDM ticker will remain unchanged, ensuring continuity and recognition in the marketplace.
Why Are We Rebranding?
We believe it’s time for a fresh look. Through numerous discussions with our community, we recognized the need for a cleaner, more professional appearance. We hope you enjoy and embrace the new branding as much as we do.
Our transition from Mehen to Moneta marks a new chapter in our journey, one that promises greater freedom, growth, and opportunities. Welcome to Moneta, where we are dedicated to empowering your financial future.
