mStable launches on Polygon, hopes to attract defi users 'priced out' of ETH

mStable has launched its savings account, stablecoin, and swap services on Polygon to reduce fees.

Defi-yield protocol mStable has become the latest to embrace second-layer scaling solutions, announcing its deployment on Polygon (formerly known as Matic) today. 

mStable’s interest-generating savings account, two of its “risk minimized meta-stablecoins,” and asset swapping features are now live on Polygon, offering its users reduced fees when compared to its Ethereum mainnet deployment.

Polygon is a layer-two network that processes transactions on its sidechain before bundling them together into the next block produced by the Ethereum mainnet.

In an April 27 announcement, mStable emphasized the barrier posed by Ethereum’s recent gas fee crisis to the DeFi sector’s mission to democratize finance:

“With savings rates at near zero in traditional finance, there exists an enormous latent demand for a secure, dependable and high yielding savings account. mStable Save was built to fulfil this demand, but unfortunately, given Ethereum’s recently sky-high gas fees, most users have been priced out.”

CEO James Simpson expressed his support for Polygon’s scaling solution stating: “Polygon is scalable, offers nearly free transactions, has attracted DeFi heavyweights and with them billions in liquidity. This is all done while being anchored to the Ethereum mainchain and to its community.”

mStable also teased three major upcoming releases for its Polygon deployment, including liquidity incentives, free transactions in partnership with Biconomy, and a bridge between its Polygon and Ethereum mainnet versions.

The protocol’s deployment on Polygon comes as an increasing number of DeFi protocols are exploring second-layer solutions, with Aave recently attracting $1 billion worth of liquidity to its Polygon release within 10 days of launch.

Price analysis 9/15: BTC, ETH, ADA, BNB, XRP, SOL, DOT, DOGE, UNI, LUNA

Buyers continue to scoop up Bitcoin and altcoins on dips, a signal that there is strong demand at lower levels and that bullish momentum is building. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is leading the recovery in the crypto sector and the cryptocurrency briefly rallied to $48,429 on Sept. 15, before pulling back to test the underlying support levels. While speaking during a live stream at the SALT conference, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that Bitcoin is the default currency of the crypto space and could rise tenfold in the next five years .

Morgan Stanley recently set up a new crypto-focused research division “in recognition of ...
