# On Celo

Mento stables are available on the Celo blockchain. This guide covers how to get USDm, EURm, BRLm, XOFm, and GBPm on Celo.

## Swap at oracle rate (USDm, EURm, BRLm, XOFm)

The most direct way to get these Mento stables on Celo is by swapping on the Mento protocol. FPMM pools use **oracle-based rates**: you get the same rate you see off-chain for the pair (e.g. EUR/USD). **There is no slippage** — the rate is fixed by the oracle for your trade size.

### Using the Mento app

1. Visit [app.mento.org](https://app.mento.org/?chain=42220)
2. Connect your wallet and **select the Celo network**
3. Select your **input token** (e.g. USDC, USDT, EUROC)
4. Choose your desired stable (USDm, EURm, BRLm, XOFm)
5. Enter amount and confirm the swap

The app shows the oracle rate and fees upfront. No curve, no slippage. In the backing model documented for **Mento V3**, **USDm** and **EURm** are Reserve-backed, while **GBPm** is CDP-backed.

## GBPm: borrow via CDP

**GBPm is different.** It is not minted by the Reserve like USDm or EURm. You can get GBPm by **borrowing it into existence** against collateral (USDm) in a **CDP (Collateralized Debt Position)**. This is often the main route for sourcing GBPm on Celo.

1. Visit [app.mento.org](https://app.mento.org/borrow?chain=42220) and connect your wallet on Celo.
2. Open **Borrow**. Select **GBPm** in the currency dropdown, then **+ Open Your First Trove**.
3. Deposit **USDm** as collateral and borrow **GBPm**. Set your interest rate; there is no fixed repayment schedule. Keep your collateral ratio above the minimum to avoid liquidation.

For a step-by-step walkthrough, see [**Borrow a stable (e.g. GBPm)**](/mento-v3/get-started/quick-start-guides.md#-borrow-a-stable-eg-gbpm) in the Quick Start Guides.

For protocol details (troves, liquidations, Stability pool), see [CDPs](/mento-v3/dive-deeper/cdp.md).

## Other venues (DEXs)

Some DEXs on Celo list pairs that include Mento stables (e.g. USDm/USDC). You can use them if you prefer; rates and liquidity vary. For oracle-priced swaps with no slippage, use the [Mento app](https://app.mento.org/?chain=42220) directly.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.mento.org/mento-v3/other/getting-mento-stables/on-celo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
