 We consider an Allen–Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion, motivated by the
 study of the scaling limit of certain interacting particle systems. We investigate its
 singular limit and show the generation and propagation of an interface in the limit.
 The evolution of this limit interface is governed by mean curvature flow with a novel,
 homogenized speed in terms of a surface tension-mobility parameter emerging from
 the nonlinearity in our equation.
