Abstract generation in progress
ME News Report, May 15 (UTC+8), Forbes reports that Mantle has launched an on-chain new banking project called UR, aiming to integrate traditional payment systems with decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure, with Asia as its core market. UR is developed by former payment industry professional Neo, inspired by his experience promoting QR code payments at Alipay and Grab, planning to upgrade the traditional QR code payment model to an on-chain bank to achieve digital fiat currency. The UR project holds a FINMA regulatory license in Switzerland, adopts a full reserve banking model, ensuring that user deposits of fiat currency are matched 1:1 with tokenized assets, without engaging in lending or investment, ensuring its auditability. The project offers an integrated solution allowing users to access fiat currency and perform cross-chain settlements via API, with deep integration of applications and wallets. Mantle states that UR aims to develop into a "prototype of on-chain banking," reconstructing the account layer to be programmable and composable, rather than merely a crypto payment tool.

If full reserve banking doesn't lend out money, what does the profit model rely on? Is it transaction fees?

FINMA license + full reserve, this setup is considered top-tier in the Asian DeFi circle.

The reorganization of the programmable account layer is a big statement; see the code for implementation.

Scan-to-pay → On-chain bank, this upgrade path sounds smooth, but the user education cost is not low.

1:1 matched tokenized assets, transparent auditing is a good thing, just worried that compliance costs will be passed on to users

API deposit/withdraw for fiat currency is crucial; connecting the final mile is the real business.

The on-chain banking prototype's positioning—don't rush to praise it yet. Let's see if someone actually uses it first.
