How it works

"Similar to Synthetix and UMA, Market Protocol plans to bring exposure to blockchain and traditional assets in their own, unique way. Market protocol (also not released yet) follows UMA’s example in issuing synthetic assets that are backed by a comparatively small amount of collateral and therefore creating leverage for the user.

Their tokens also need an oracle to be priced and expire every 28days, and the person holding the synthetic token can claim the collateral. However, in Market Protocol’s case, the tokens are always minted in pairs of two tokens: One short and one long position token. That means, you would create a pair and then for example sell the long tokens to hold the short position on e.g. ETH, betting on decreasing ETH prices.

Unlike UMA, however, Market Protocol’s tokens always have a priceCap and priceFloor defining up until which points (high and low) a token can profit: If you hold an ETH short token you won’t profit from ETH going to zero, but only to a limit. Same with the ETH long token."

"(Synthetic) and FOTA are the first projects that come to mind, each with slightly different variations on services offered and how their respective tokens play into their ecosystem."
