Menese Ships Multichain UI
Menese Protocol rolled out an optimized UI enabling multichain lightning swaps, cross‑chain swaps, free borrowing, and minting of chain‑key tokens — a UX push aimed at lowering friction for multi‑chain DeFi flows. The release signals product maturation for cross‑chain UX, which could change short‑term liquidity routing. (x.com) (x.com)
Menese opened a public beta on Feb. 17, 2026 and published a developer SDK alongside community‑tested cross‑chain liquidity pools and a native utility token called MENES. (markets.businessinsider.com) The protocol is built on the Internet Computer (ICP) and advertises support for “50+ chains” plus eight live DEX integrations spanning Ethereum, Solana, ICP, XRP, Cardano, Sui and NEAR. (cqby3-2qaaa-aaaad-aczdq-cai.icp0.io) Menese executes cross‑chain operations natively on‑chain using ICP’s threshold key/chain‑key primitives rather than relying on off‑chain relayers, enabling continuous on‑chain execution even when traditional web2 relayer services are unavailable. (streetinsider.com) The MeneseSDK‑V0 repo contains chain‑specific developer docs and setup steps (for example Solana ATA creation and rent details), reflecting an early focus on developer tooling and composability. (github.com) Backers named in the launch materials include Mercatura Forum and ICP Hub Egypt, and Menese’s founders emerged from Mercatura’s founder‑in‑residence program that the firm says has trained more than 600 engineers via ICP Hub Egypt. (markets.businessinsider.com) The team is staging feature releases and running a developer competition to stress‑test on‑chain execution and automation; roadmap notes reference phased rollouts for automation/agent features and a username‑based sending system for UX simplification.
