Mezo Mainnet is Coming: Here's How To Participate
Mezo is officially launching mainnet in May. This guide explains how your locked assets will be bridged and made available on Mezo Network from day one.
Mezo mainnet is launching in May.
This means you’ll be able to use MUSD for real, unlocking the spending power of your Bitcoin without ever selling a single sat. Stack BTC, spend in dollars, and grow your earnings with the Mezo economy.
All of this will be available to you without any action on your part. Your deposited assets (BTC, tBTC, solvBTC, USDe, other stables, etc.) will be seamlessly auto-bridged to Mezo at launch. This way, you can sit back and get ready to bank on yourself.
All users who auto-bridge to Mezo will receive a one-time mats bonus. The bonus will be auto-applied to your balance—you don’t need to do a thing!
On Mezo, not only will you have access to a permissionless, 100% Bitcoin-backed stablecoin in MUSD, but the rest of the BitcoinFi ecosystem, including:
- Expanded items in the Mezo Market (yes, it’s no longer a test market)
- MUSD yield options (vaults, anyone?)
- Perpetual futures trading backed by MUSD collateral
- And much more coming soon. Be sure to stay up to date on our socials to not miss any announcements
The exact dates and timeline of the launch will be shared in the coming weeks; read on to understand the auto-bridge process, opting out, mats incentives, and other key details.
How Bridging Will Work
When depositing to Mezo, users can lock their assets for 2, 6, or 9 months. Longer lockups earn higher point multipliers. Since mainnet will launch before many unlock dates (e.g. unlock on Sept 1), here’s how bridging to Mezo will work for portal deposits:
- Default Behavior:
All deposits will be automatically bridged to Mezo mainnet unless you opt out. This means on Day 1, your assets will be “unlocked” and usable for anything on Mezo—including minting MUSD, earning through Mezo apps, and more. You won’t need to wait for your original unlock period to end. - Opting Out:
You can opt out of bridging and receive your assets on their original chain (Bitcoin or Ethereum) by going to the “Deposit” tab and selecting the “ON” switch (which will turn auto-bridge to the "OFF" setting) on any eligible deposit. - WBTC:
WBTC deposits will be bridged to Mezo as tBTC, with standard network and processing fees applied. After mainnet is live, any WBTC bridged to Mezo via the native bridge will land on the network as tBTC.
Example:
A tBTC deposit unlocking on August 31 will be auto-bridged to Mezo in May, at mainnet launch. If the user decides to opt out, they will be able to withdraw their deposit from the Mezo Portal contract on the date of Mezo mainnet launch.
Important Note: At launch, the Mezo native bridge will be one-way, only accepting deposits. The two-way native bridge is expected to be live ~60 days following the launch of Mezo mainnet, at which point anyone can natively bridge to and from Mezo.
This does not mean assets will be “trapped” on Mezo – third-party bridging infrastructure providers will be available and built by the community. However, just because third-party bridges are available does not mean the Mezo team endorses them.
What about my mats, sats, and other matsnet assets?
As part of the transition to Mezo mainnet, there will be a surprise mats bonus for early users who bridge and get active on mainnet. If you’ve been stacking mats, earning sats, or experimenting on matsnet—your efforts won’t go unnoticed.
All you have to do is bridge. Be active. And you’ll be rewarded.
