Exchange rate quote fees can be also paid in CELO or cUSD.

Recently, Agora had hinted at bringing over its stablecoin issuance operations to the U.S. following more positive legislation efforts surrounding both Genius and Clarity Acts.

Mento, on the other hand, is targeting a sector that annually brings in trillions of market value globally. The protocol is building out liquidity channels per individual currencies and popular trading pairs, with over 20 different local onchain currencies enrolled.

Mento uses Chainlink oracle for pricing the rates.
