Key Components of MUX Protocol Suite
-
MUX Leveraged Trading Protocol: This decentralized protocol enables traders to engage in leveraged trading with zero price impact. It offers leverage of up to 100x, mitigates counterparty risks, and provides an optimized on-chain trading experience. Traders interact with the MUX native pool (MUXLP pool) on the Leveraged Trading Protocol.
-
MUX Leveraged Trading Aggregator: This sub-protocol within the MUX suite automatically selects the most suitable liquidity route, minimizing the composite cost for traders while meeting their position requirements. It also aggregates liquidity from underlying protocols, enabling traders to access optimal pricing and trading experiences.

Benefits of MUX Leveraged Trading Protocol
Self-Custody and Optimized Trading Experience: MUX Protocol empowers traders to maintain control of their assets while providing an optimized on-chain trading experience for seamless execution.
Leverage Trading Mechanisms with MUX Aggregator
-
Liquidity Routing: The MUX Aggregator dynamically compares trading prices offered by various leveraged trading protocols. It selects the most suitable liquidity route, ensuring optimal liquidity depth and minimizing trading costs for traders.
-
Position Container: The MUX Aggregator manages position containers, which hold traders' positions on behalf of the underlying leveraged trading protocols. This mechanism ensures risk isolation and enhances the safety of the MUX Protocol.
-
Leverage Boosting: The MUX Aggregator can supply additional margin to traders, enabling them to increase leverage beyond what the underlying protocol offers. This mechanism optimizes leverage options and lowers maintenance margin requirements for traders.
Cross-Chain Liquidity and Aggregation
-
Universal Liquidity: The MUX Protocol unifies liquidity across multiple chains, allowing traders to access liquidity from different networks through a single interface. This improves capital efficiency and trading experiences.
-
Liquidity Aggregation: The MUX Aggregator aggregates liquidity from various protocols, providing consistent and convenient trading experiences for traders. It eliminates the need for traders to manage multiple liquidity providers and simplifies the trading process.
MUXLP Pool and Multi-Asset Pool
-
MUXLP Pool: The MUXLP pool is the counterparty of traders and always maintains full collateralization. It holds a portfolio of blue-chip assets and stable coins. Traders' profits and losses are settled against the MUXLP pool.
-
Multi-Asset Pool: The Multi-Asset Pool, within the MUXLP pool, ensures liquidity and efficient trading experiences. Each asset in the pool has a targeted weight, and the fees for buying or selling MUXLP with specific assets adjust accordingly. This mechanism helps maintain liquidity and market balance.
Tokenomics of MUX Protocol
-
MCB: MCB is the main token of the protocol. Users can lock MCB to receive veMUX, which entitles them to protocol income and MUX rewards. MCB has a capped supply and can be staked for various durations to earn veMUX.
-
MUX: MUX is a non-transferable reward token that can be earned by holding veMUX or staking MUXLP. MUX can be staked for veMUX or vested into MCB. It has a capped supply, and the daily emission decreases as MUX is vested into MCB.
-
veMUX: veMUX is the protocol governance token that grants holders voting power on protocol governance decisions. Users obtain veMUX by locking MCB and/or MUX. Holding veMUX also entitles users to protocol income and MUX rewards.
-
MUXLP: MUXLP is the liquidity provider token used to provide liquidity to the MUXLP pool. Users can buy MUXLP tokens with supported assets and stake them to earn protocol income and MUX rewards. MUXLP tokens are minted and burned based on market demand.
