MARKET Protocol, a decentralized framework allowing derivative trading of all assets, announced today the alpha release of their decentralized application (dApp), MPX.
This release of MPX provides a simulated trading environment on Rinkeby, an Ethereum testnet, allowing users to trade MARKET Protocol contracts against a bot.
MPX is powered by MARKET Protocol which enables users to experience the benefits of derivatives on the Ethereum blockchain.

MPX highlights a number of features and capabilities made possible by MARKET Protocol:

- Short sell assets without sourcing or borrowing them
- Use leverage safely, without margin calls or forced liquidations
