Multi Explained

What is Multi?

Multi is a novel approach to digital currency, aiming to bring stability and decentralization to the world of crypto. Unlike Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies known for their price volatility, Multi seeks to offer a more reliable store of value by being backed by a diversified basket of tokens, creating a buffer against market fluctuations.

Another key differentiator for Multi is its decentralized nature. Many stablecoins rely on centralized entities and are tied to traditional currencies like the US dollar. Multi aims to break free from these constraints, fostering greater autonomy and resilience within the DeFi ecosystem.

Multi utilizes unique algorithms and mechanisms to evolve and function. The market stabilizer optimizes trading on on-chain order book markets, stabilizing market prices and providing users with arbitrage opportunities. The token stream mechanism enables efficient adaptation of the token reserve without relying on time-consuming community consensus.

Looking to the future, Multi envisions a network of interconnected currencies, each backed by unique assets. This network would create a truly decentralized and scalable financial system that mirrors the diversity of the global economy, potentially transforming how we think about and interact with money.

Components

The market stabilizer generates a price feed that is used when determining the value of tokens flowing in via streams. These contributions change the composition of Multi's reserves, which in turn influences how the market stabilizer operates, as it adjusts to the new token ratios.

Market Stabilizer

The market stabilizer automatically optimizes trading in the Multi ecosystem. When users place orders, it finds the best prices by trading multiple reserve tokens simultaneously. This process ensures users get optimal rates while adjusting Multi's supply to match demand. As a result, users benefit from enhanced liquidity, more efficient trading, and increased market price stability. Automatically scales Multi's supply to market demand.

  • Engineered to mitigate systemic risks, including bank runs.
  • Mitigates the risk of market manipulation and price swings.
  • Enhances market liquidity as a neutral participant.
  • Generates a reliable price feed, improving market price accuracy.
  • Enables swapping fund tokens for any underlying token via multilateral trades.
Scale

The market stabilizer ensures that each coin is properly backed by precise quantities of tokens.

Set of starting backing tokens

As Multi grows, the system purchases the appropriate quantities to maintain constant token ratios.

Backing tokens grow proportionally

Multi utilizes a multilateral exchange across different markets to ensure precise backing.

Token Streams

Token streams enable the continuous and dynamic growth of Multi's token reserve. They represent a commitment by participants, known as stream providers, to regularly contribute a specific quantity of an approved token to the reserve over a predetermined period. This process facilitates the ongoing diversification and expansion of Multi's asset backing.

  • Anyone can participate as a stream provider.
  • More efficient than traditional consensus.
  • Enables decentralized and scalable decision-making.
  • Decision-makers are held accountable.
  • Ensures a predictable and steady flow of tokens.
  • Encourages selection of high-quality tokens through competitive reward system.

Token Stream Contracts

These contracts formalize the commitment between stream providers and Multi. They outline the terms of the token stream, including the token type, quantity, contribution schedule, and duration. The staking of governance tokens as collateral is also a key component of these contracts, ensuring accountability and incentivizing long-term participation.
