# Mezo

> Mezo is Bitcoin's economic layer — a Cosmos SDK-based appchain with full EVM compatibility, built by Thesis (creators of tBTC, Fold, and Taho). Bitcoiners can borrow, lend, spend, save, and earn yield without selling their BTC: BTC is the native gas token, tBTC provides reliable bridging, and MUSD is a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. The chain runs the mezod reference client on CometBFT consensus with a dual-staking model.

This llms.txt was generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the provider's public developer docs and repositories. Mezo publishes no OpenAPI; its programmatic surface is Ethereum JSON-RPC (EVM), Cosmos REST/gRPC + CometBFT RPC, and a Blockscout explorer API.
