what's Meridian?

Meridian is the central liquidity and yield hub for the Movement Labs ecosystem, built natively on the Movement network—a high-performance blockchain powered by the Move language. As a composable DeFi protocol, it offers an advanced automated market maker (AMM) DEX with V3 concentrated liquidity, enabling providers to focus capital in custom price ranges for optimal fee generation and capital efficiency. It supports key pools like MOVE/USDC, wETH/USDC, and stablecoin pairs, with mechanisms for LP incentives and seamless swaps. Complementing the DEX, Meridian includes a novel liquid staking token (LST) protocol and Assetto for global stablecoin yield infrastructure, minimizing bridges and trust assumptions while integrating deeply with Movement apps. Users access core functions—swaps, liquidity provision, and yield optimization—via app.meridian.money, powering the ecosystem's financial primitives.

Meridian supports USDCx on Movement at launch as an initial integration partner.
