# Getting Mento Stables

**One way to use Mento V3 is to obtain Mento stablecoins:** USDm (Mento Dollar), EURm (Mento Euro), GBPm (Mento Pound), and others. This page lists the main paths. It assumes you know what Mento V3 is from [Overview](https://docs.mento.org/mento-v3/get-started/readme).

## What are Mento stablecoins?

**Mento stablecoins** are assets that aim to track a fiat currency (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP). They are **one use case** of the Mento V3 DEX: many FPMM pools pair a Mento stable (e.g. USDm) with an external stable (e.g. USDC, USDT) or with another asset. You can get Mento stables by **swapping** in those pools (at the oracle rate) or by **borrowing** (e.g. GBPm via a CDP). You do **not** need prior knowledge of “minting” or “reserves”; the main user-facing actions are **swap** and **borrow**.

| **Mento app (swap)**                | You have USDC, USDT, EUROC, or another supported token and want USDm, EURm, etc. | [app.mento.org](https://app.mento.org/?chain=42220) — connect wallet, choose pair, swap at oracle rate.                                                                                  |
| **Mento app (borrow)**              | You want to borrow a Mento stable (e.g. GBPm) against collateral.                | [app.mento.org](https://app.mento.org/borrow?chain=42220) — CDP / borrow flow.                                                                                                           |
| **On Celo**                         | You are on Celo and want to swap or add liquidity on Celo.                       | Same app; select Celo network. See [On Celo](https://docs.mento.org/mento-v3/other/getting-mento-stables/on-celo) for Celo-specific notes.                                               |
| **On mobile**                       | You prefer a mobile wallet or app.                                               | See [On mobile](https://docs.mento.org/mento-v3/other/getting-mento-stables/on-mobile).                                                                                                  |
| **From another chain**              | You hold assets on another chain and want Mento stables.                         | Bridge to a chain where Mento V3 is deployed, then use the app or a DEX there. See [From other chains](https://docs.mento.org/mento-v3/other/getting-mento-stables/from-other-chains).   |
| **Via centralized exchanges (CEX)** | You want to buy/sell Mento stables on a CEX.                                     | See [Via centralized exchanges](https://docs.mento.org/mento-v3/other/getting-mento-stables/via-centralized-exchanges).

## Recommended starting point

For most users, the simplest path is:

1. Go to [**app.mento.org**](https://app.mento.org/?chain=42220).
2. Connect your wallet on a supported chain (e.g. Celo).
3. To **get USDm or EURm**: choose the pair (e.g. USDC ↔ USDm) and **swap** at the oracle rate.
4. To **get GBPm** (or other CDP-backed stables): use the **borrow** flow (collateralize and borrow).

For **swap and liquidity** in general (not only “getting stables”), see [Swap & liquidity (FPMM operations)](https://github.com/mento-protocol/docs/blob/main/other/swap-and-liquidity.md).
