Velar partners with Mezo to expand its suite of Bitcoin-native financial tools to the Mezo network. This integration strengthens our commitment to making Bitcoin practical and accessible in DeFi.

What This Means for Users

mUSD, Mezo's 100% Bitcoin-backed stablecoin, will power BTC perps trading on Velar, creating new opportunities for traders and liquidity providers in our ecosystem.

Users gain access to a complete suite of Bitcoin-native financial tools while maintaining full control of their assets. The integration creates a streamlined experience where Bitcoin holders can borrow against their BTC at fixed rates, trade with greater capital efficiency, and participate in yield-generating activities.

Expanding Bitcoin's Utility

This partnership advances our mission to build comprehensive Bitcoin DeFi infrastructure. By integrating Mezo's technology, users gain:

• Access to Bitcoin equity without selling their BTC

• Fixed-rate borrowing capabilities for predictable financial planning

• Fully verifiable, on-chain transactions with complete asset control

• Expanded trading options with improved liquidity

The collaboration leverages tBTC's secure bridge infrastructure, ensuring all operations maintain the highest standards of decentralization and transparency. This approach aligns with Bitcoin's foundational principles while enhancing its practical utility.

Building for Long-term Growth

The Velar-Mezo collaboration directly addresses key challenges in the Bitcoin ecosystem: limited financial tools, complex user experiences, and fragmented liquidity.

“This partnership with Mezo is a leap forward for Bitcoin DeFi.” said Mithil Thakore, CEO at Velar. "By integrating mUSD into Velar’s PerpDex, we’re unlocking true capital efficiency and enabling the next chapter of BTC-native financial infrastructure.”

Implementation Timeline

• Initial integration begins soon with mUSD support for perps trading

• Additional features will roll out through Q3 as integration progresses

• Resources for ecosystem builders will follow as the platform matures

Community Impact

This partnership creates a more robust foundation for Bitcoin DeFi, benefiting both current users and those previously unable to participate due to technical barriers. By making Bitcoin more accessible and functional in everyday finance, we're supporting broader adoption and utility.

The combined strengths of Velar and Mezo create an environment where Bitcoin can function as both a sound store of value and an active financial tool, meeting the needs of a diverse user base from traders and investors to everyday users.

More details on specific features and integration milestones will be announced in the coming weeks.
