The 168 Million MGX Bounty - A New Way to Look at Fair Price Discovery
·
Jun 9, 2022
The Mangata X Ecosystem Development Fund has committed 17% of the TGE supply to the MGX-KSM Liquidity Bootstrapping Event. We expect that this offer will make the bootstrap less competitive and more collaborative within the Kusama community. The bounty creates a low initial valuation, which will lead to a fairer, more accessible distribution and eventually to achieve our goal of a community-owned DEX. In this article, we explain the game theory behind this move. -

Rocket launch delayed due to adverse weather
·
May 13, 2022
Due to global market conditions, the total crypto market took a downturn from 1.8 trillion USD in value to 1.1 trillion USD within just 8 days. We witnessed the implosion of a stablecoin that carried upwards of 40 billion USD in value. Kusama, already being front-run on the market from the impeding unlock also took a significant dip. All in all, the market has a lot of things to talk about and attention is everywhere. For these reasons, we have determined that it is not the right conditions to launch the the MGX-KSM Liquidity Bootstrapping Event yet. -

·
Mar 21, 2022
Algorithmic buy & burn is a novel mechanism that enables a crypto project to maintain a capped supply while at the same time continuously minting new rewards for services like liquidity provision and block creation. As a bonus for token holders, it positively connects the success and activity of the network with token price appreciation.
In this article, we show the motivation behind the mechanism, explain the exact mechanism, describe the positive effects for the ecosystem and MGX holders and show projections about the expected outcomes.

Building the most capital efficient DEX-chain with Proof-of-Liquidity
·
Nov 8, 2021
Proof-of-Liquidity is a novel consensus mechanism that builds on Proof-of-Stake but eliminates the problem of locked capital, which is detrimental to DeFi. This article explains why we at Mangata think capital efficiency will define the Endgame for DEXes, how app-specific chains can fix the problems that DeFi has on Ethereum and how we arrived at the new paradigm of Proof-of-Liquidity.

In traditional finance, you may have heard the term “front-running,” an illegal practice that involves entering an equity trade with advance knowledge of a pending transaction that would effectively move the price of the underlying asset. It falls under the umbrella of insider trading, meaning people go to jail over this kind of behavior.
