Disclosure

DeFi cryptocurrency Mutuum Finance has launched its V1 protocol on the Sepolia testnet, introducing the core mechanics of its lending and borrowing system. The team also stated that an additional feature is scheduled to be rolled out next week as development continues.

Mutuum Finance Protocol Upgrade

In a recent statement published on X, the team confirmed that it is working on several upcoming features while refining key components of the codebase, including optimizations to the Stability Factor. According to the update, a new protocol feature is expected to be released in the coming week.

The project has reported more than $20.6 million raised to date, with over 19,000 holders of its MUTM token, currently priced at $0.04. In the same update, the team noted that the Sepolia testnet version of its lending and borrowing protocol has surpassed $90 million in testnet total value locked (TVL), reflecting simulated liquidity activity during beta testing.

Lending and Borrowing with Mutuum Finance

In the current beta version, users can interact with the protocol’s core functionality. The interface displays a protocol overview including total liquidity, available liquidity, and total variable debt. Four assets are currently supported for minting and interaction on testnet: ETH, USDT, LINK, and WBTC. The portfolio section provides data on net worth, net APY, Stability Factor, and total supplied and borrowed balances, with mtTokens also integrated into the current version of the platform.

When users supply assets to the platform, they receive corresponding mtTokens as proof of deposit. For example, supplying WBTC results in the issuance of mtWBTC. These tokens accrue value over time based on the applicable APY, which is determined by pool utilization.

By depositing $10,000 worth of USDT into the protocol, users receive mtUSDT in return. If the average annual percentage yield (APY) is around 4–5% over a one-year period, the position could generate approximately $400 to $500 in passive income, depending on pool utilization and borrowing demand. In addition, users can stake their mtTokens within the safety module, where eligible participants receive dividends denominated in MUTM tokens.

On the borrowing side, collateral is required to secure loans and protect the protocol against default risk. Rather than selling assets, users can post them as collateral and borrow against their value. For example, an investor holding $1,000 worth of ETH who does not wish to liquidate the position can deposit that ETH as collateral and borrow USDT. The borrowed stablecoins can then be used for expenses or deployed into other investments, while the user retains exposure to potential upside in ETH. Once the borrowed amount and accrued interest are repaid, the full collateral can be withdrawn.

Audited Protocol

Mutuum Finance has undergone a security audit of its lending and borrowing protocol conducted by Halborn, a blockchain security firm that has also performed audits for major projects such as Solana. In addition, the MUTM token smart contract was reviewed by CertiK, receiving a Token Scan score of 90 out of 100.

In partnership with CertiK, Mutuum Finance has established a bug bounty program with a reward pool of up to $50,000, aimed at identifying potential vulnerabilities and strengthening protocol security.

The total supply of MUTM is capped at 4 billion tokens. A portion of this allocation is designated for incentives, including giveaways, leaderboard bonuses, and other community reward programs.

Mutuum Finance continues to advance development of its lending and borrowing protocol as testing progresses on the Sepolia network. With additional features scheduled for rollout and security reviews completed, the project remains focused on refining its infrastructure ahead of full deployment.
