" summary

Describes M0 as a developer-first, two-sided stablecoin platform already hosting about $1B circulating supply with three issuers (two more expected in six months) and a MetaMask Dollar built on it. Argues fiat-collateralized design must avoid humans typing mint amounts, uses bank-as-oracle reads and private-key guarded minting to sync bank ledgers and blockchains; cites past errors (Tether, Paxos PYUSD) as evidence. Frames yield-bearing coins as niche products and emphasizes modular, multi-issuer infrastructure over single-brand tokens.
