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 the 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 realize 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 involving 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, and achieves 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.

From QR codes to the blockchain, Neo's move is a dimensionality reduction strike against veteran payment players.

The full reserve requirement model is safe but has low capital efficiency—it's a trade-off between safety and profit.

Swiss licenses are valuable enough, but whether they can succeed in the Asian market still depends on localization.

1:1 matching, no investment, no lending, so profits rely on fees? Is it sustainable?

The Asian payment market is going crazy; is UR's ability to break in due to compliance or user experience?

The idea of a programmable account layer is very Web3; traditional banks simply can't handle it.
