1/3 Thank you @0xResearch for hosting @LucaProsperi on the most recent episode of the podcast talking about all things M^0.
As M^0 inches closer to launch, Luca spent an hour with the team talking about:
➡️What M^0 is and why it matters
➡️The M cryptodollar, and its minting and redemption process
➡️Collateral design
➡️Go-to-market and on-chain utility
➡️The Two-Token Governance system and design trade-offs
➡️The 5+ year vision

The M^0 whitepaper is live.
M^0 is an on-chain protocol, as well as a set of off-chain standards and APIs, that allows multiple issuers to mint a fully fungible cryptodollar: M.
Minters connect to the protocol to manage the supply of M. Validators support the process independently by providing near-constant information on the presence of off-chain collateral held in best-in-class storage structures. All underpinned by a novel governance mechanism that we call the Two Token Governor.
The monetary system as we know it is actually a fairly recent framework built upon the relationship between commercial banks, central banks, and state treasuries. It has proven effective because it allowed participants to concentrate on their unique strengths, but this one-size-fits-all system has shown limitations in various areas: credit underwriting, risk management, distribution and storage capabilities, returns for capital providers, and, ultimately, technological compatibility.
DeFi has shown us the potential for deconstructing the fundamental components of banking. Stablecoins have stood out in this initial phase - but they have primarily focused on facilitating transactions by layering onto existing financial infrastructure.
The time has come for a broader scope of innovation. M^0 was designed to revolutionize with prudence yet ambition the entire monetary stack, rather than merely adding limited functionality to an outdated system.
With the release of the M^0 whitepaper and project website, we invite the world to delve into our vision and design. With M^0, we intend to shape the next generation network of wholesale finance for the coming century.

@depoulo Of course. Three major updates different :D
I'll just hop on the https://t.co/IvuK8SoPhs train, before I miss it. It was just mindblowing, that this is a thing...
Did you know?
Do not install yarn via npm. Then you get a very outdated version v1.
Current version is v4 which have to be installed separately.
v1 has still has still 4mio downloads per week.
