DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, December 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mutuum Finance (MUTM)an Ethereum-based DeFi crypto project developing a structured lending protocol, has announced further progress in its roadmap as the team continues to move forward in Phase 2. With constant development and community participation expanding to over 18,400 active investors, the project is attracting more attention as it approaches the next major release scheduled for Q4 2025.
Development progress and growth framework
Mutuum Finance is focused on creating a decentralized lending system that supports predictable and transparent financial activity. The protocol is designed with two connected lending environments. Users can contribute assets such as ETH or USDT and receive mtTokens. The value of these mtTokens increases as borrowers repay the interest. This mechanism aims to give lenders a predictable return that reflects actual usage of the protocol.
Borrowers use a system with adjustable interest levels that respond to the amount of liquidity available in the pool. When liquidity is strong, borrowing can remain more affordable. When the pool becomes tighter, borrowing costs increase. Loan-to-value requirements create a structure for collateral. If the value of the collateral drops too much, liquidation may occur. The liquidators repay part of the loan and receive part of the guarantee. Mutuum Finance says this helps stabilize the system during volatile times.
Phase 2 of the roadmap focused on perfecting these functions. The team reports steady progress in contract behavior updates, interest recalculations, collateral logic adjustments, and internal testing for liquidation events. Interface changes have also been made to prepare for user testing in the next version V1.
Community expansion and steady funding stream
Mutuum Finance continues to experience growing participation. Funding reached $19,250 million and the number of active investors exceeded 18,400. The team says this steady growth reflects the project’s visibility and continued engagement around development updates.
The presale began in early 2025 with a starting price of $0.01. The token now sits at $0.035, showing a 250% increase as the project gets closer to its testnet launch. This increase reflects broad participation rather than short interest cycles. Mutuum Finance reports that user activity remained consistent throughout each stage of the roadmap.
Of the total supply of 4 billion tokens, 1.82 billion MUTM were allocated for the presale. This equates to 45.5% of all tokens. More than 815 million tokens have already been purchased. The distribution model aims to give early adopters a significant share of the supply before the protocol’s V1 testing period.
Phase 6 allocation has now exceeded 96%, leaving only a small amount of supply at the current price. Mutuum Finance reports that demand has increased as available supply continues to decrease.
mtToken Yield and Protocol Design
Much of the project design is centered around mtTokens. When a user provides ETH or USDT, they receive mtTokens which increase in value as borrowers repay interest. This gives users a clear way to track revenue and helps ensure that the protocol’s performance is tied to actual activity within the system rather than external incentives.
The team is preparing mtTokens to play a larger role in later phases. Future tools will expand how users interact with mtTokens once borrowing activity increases. Mutuum Finance states that the goal is to create a lending ecosystem where rewards reflect the protocol’s actual growth rate.
Mutuum Finance is also developing a USD-pegged stablecoin backed by borrower interests. Stablecoins are important for lending protocols because they give borrowers predictable loan values and increase liquidity. The planned stablecoin will function as one of the protocol’s core assets once V1 launches.
Layer 2 expansion is another part of the roadmap. The team intends to deploy Mutuum Finance on multiple L2 networks to improve speed and reduce gas costs. Lending platforms rely on rapid updates of collateral, interest levels and liquidation controls. Lower transaction costs and faster turnaround times make these processes more efficient. The project says the expansion of L2 will help support long-term adoption once the business grows.
Halborn Security Review and Roadmap Alignment
Security is one of Mutuum Finance’s main priorities. The team completed a CertiK audit and received a Token Scan score of 90 out of 100. Halborn Security is currently reviewing the protocol’s smart contracts. This review includes interest behavior, liquidation logic, collateral thresholds, and internal calculations that govern borrowing and lending functions.
Halborn’s audit aims to ensure that each part of the system responds correctly under different market conditions. Mutuum Finance reports that Halborn Security tests potential edge cases, stress events, and interactions between interest movements and collateral behavior. A $50,000 bug bounty is active to allow external developers to report potential issues before the testnet launches.
Mutuum Finance confirmed on its official ETH and USDT will be supported at launch.
Users will be able to track mtToken’s collateral levels, borrowing positions, and growth during the testnet period. The team plans to collect feedback from this stage to refine the protocol before moving to the next phase of the roadmap.
Phase 2 development prepared the codebase for transitioning from internal testing to community use. Mutuum Finance says final improvements are in progress and additional documentation will be released before V1 is available.
Mutuum Finance continues to progress through Phase 2 as its user base grows and security reviews progress. With $19.250 million raised, 18,400 active investors, a refined lending structure, mtToken yield mechanisms, planned stablecoin integration, L2 expansion, and an upcoming Q4 V1 testnet, the project is positioning itself as a notable entry into the premier crypto DeFi category. Further updates are expected as the team completes the remaining technical steps and prepares for public testing.
