MPX IS LIVE ON THE RINKEBY TESTNET!

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.
Users are able to easily trade MARKET Protocol contracts to go long or short crypto assets, hedge tokens, gain cross-chain price exposure to bitcoin, and much more.





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

- Trade new relationships not found anywhere else, like S&P 500/USDT, AAPL/USDT, GOLD/USDT and OIL/USDT
- Short sell assets without sourcing or borrowing them
- Use leverage safely, without margin calls or forced liquidations
- Trade without counterparty risk, since positions are collateralized on the blockchain




How to start trading on MPX?

This release of MPX provides a simulated trading experience on Ethereum’s Rinkeby testnet, allowing you to trade MARKET Protocol contracts against a bot.

to watch our CTO Phil Elsasser walk through the necessary steps to execute your first trade on MPX.


MPX will give you a preview of MARKET Protocol and the benefits of derivatives on the Ethereum blockchain.
With MPX, you can experience the flexibility of the protocol by trading simulated contracts to go long or short crypto assets and even off-chain assets.
You can also experience the safety and security of the protocol first hand, because with MPX your risk is limited to the maximum downside of your position.

And then another cryptocurrency exchange started again. I'm already tired of counting how many of them are now and I can not imagine how this exchange will be able to attract users to create a good trading volume.

Well this particular one has a good chance to do well since it offers so far never seen or traded relationships between crypto and traditional assets like stocks, gold, oil, S&P 500 and more, and it effectively allows the traders to deploy their own contracts, with different tokens as the reference asset, enabling anyone to short them or hedge their holdings against market corrections, which no other project enables, at least not without borrowing or sourcing those assets.

Re: Developer,team or community
by
laza89laza
on 01/11/2018, 16:57:07 UTC
Who is more important to the development of a project? Developer, Team or Community.
DEVELOPER: A developer is someone who invented a particular project(coin)
TEAM: A team is a group of people that came together to backup the project to ensure success.
COMMUNITY: Community are people that subscribe into the project to ensure continuity by investing in it and also promoting the project.
     A developer came up with the project,team working with developer to pick it up from there,then community decide the last part of the project.
Without a developer,we cannot have a project,Great team will surely influence the acceptability of a project,the end result depend on the community,then who is more important to the success of a project?


If you define the success as a mass adopted project, definitely even though we want to build decentralized and leaderless systems, people still like to align themselves to the leader (Vitalik, or recent example can be Sergey from ChainLink), therefore the developer is number one. I would put the community as the second, which is obviously built around charismatic founders and revolutionary ideas, and the team is an important stance too, but not crucial to the success as the mentioned two.

Unfortunately the bear market has changed the definition of "successful project" from having a good use case, tech, founder and team to the one that pumps the best...I've been working for a project myself that has the 4 out of 5 top contributors of the Gitcoin community working (TEAM) on creating a protocol that will tackle and decouple volatility from token utility (IDEA) with the founders working in the finance industry and development for over 10 years each (DEVELOPER) and yet because we aren't doing an ICO or offer bonuses/bounties as of now, even though our community is big, they seem to be uninterested of the mentioned facts.

Therefore, we all seem to define success differently, I would say you need the 4th condition and that is the sense of urgency (FOMO), which in the end seems to be still the driving force of this space....

Re: Do you believe in stablecoins??

on 01/11/2018, 16:45:54 UTC
I'm really curious to see if everyone believes in stablecoins. To name some, there is Tether, Havven, Basis, and Makerdao. Which one is your favorite? Mine is personally Havven.

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one rooting for stablecoins. I think they're truly the way to mass adoption.

Stable coins aren't that bad for sure. Fiat.Havven is my choice,i hope it gains better acceptance.

Havven, DGX, DAI are all cool but I give DAI the advantage due to the way it's generated...and remember, it's not about the stablecoins per se, it's more about how they are utilized to help us decrease the volatility of the utility tokens, I anticipate that the use of stablecoins in projects like for example MARKET Protocol or something of that kind is the true formula to achieve this.

June 2018 AMA and community call

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19rzWE96FwY


There are only 45 views. It looks very little to be honest. Yes, I understand that maybe on YouTube you are not correctly considered but when such people come and see such a small interest in what the main representative of the project says, that says a lot. Do everything to make the views bigger. This for investors says a lot about how the owners of exchanges look at new projects.

Agreed, this video we published internally might not have been as viewed, but 2 videos featuring the project or team have had a substantial virality so far - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRipt7d5LPc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4WjbdsnByM

How the OKEx fiasco could have been prevented
by
laza89laza
on 07/08/2018, 21:19:08 UTC
Now seems to be a great time to discuss some major topics and issues surrounding the OKEx Bitcoin Future saga. OKEx force-liquidated a very large (~$400m notional) bitcoin futures position. The size of this position triggered a socialized loss on the OKEx platform to be split proportionally by all profited traders’ realized + unrealized gains. The loss to investors is almost $9m. The ending of this story is still TBD.

MARKET Protocol was designed and implemented to address a number of these issues providing a decentralized solution to prevent exactly what happened on OKEx. Their CEO, who's been a derivatives trader since 2005, shares his 2 cents on how all could have been prevented!

Revolution will be Incentivized!
by

on 12/07/2018, 15:23:54 UTC
No matter how good your token incentives model is, market volatility is always able to diminish all the benefits associated with holding or using those tokens. Also, many projects don't put more than a minute into defining their token supply and creation rate based on the principles of behavioral economics in order to work towards their platform higher utilization through proper incentives. They only care about the price. But even if that's the case, they don't currently have an efficient way to protect proper valuation due to the volatility. The ability to hedge against it is a crucial feature for a higher level of digital asset adoption. By choosing the appropriate position on the derivatives market, utility token holders would have an opportunity to protect from market volatility and that way avoid potential losses associated with consuming the utility of a token. With MARKET Protocol contracts that have stablecoins like DAI, Havven, and DGX used as reference assets, traders are empowered with a very novel protection mechanism.
