MUX Protocol
Crypto Overview
Overview
MUX Protocol is a decentralized perpetual exchange platform built on multiple blockchains including Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Avalanche. The protocol's native token MCB (previously known as MCDEX) serves governance and utility functions within the ecosystem.
Intended Utility
The primary purpose of MUX Protocol is to provide a decentralized platform for cryptocurrency derivatives trading, specifically perpetual futures contracts. The MCB token is designed to facilitate governance decisions and provide utility within the protocol's ecosystem through staking and fee-sharing mechanisms.
Actual Utility & Development
The platform has demonstrated significant adoption with over $6.3 billion in trading volume since launch. The protocol maintains active development with regular updates and improvements to its trading infrastructure. The development team consistently pushes updates to the protocol's smart contracts and user interface.
Token Distribution & Governance
MCB has a total supply of 100 million tokens. The distribution includes allocations to the team, early investors, and the community. Team tokens are subject to vesting schedules to prevent immediate selling pressure. The protocol implements a DAO structure where MCB holders can participate in governance decisions.
Revenue Model & Operations
The protocol generates revenue through trading fees on perpetual futures contracts. A portion of these fees is distributed to MCB stakers. The primary concern from a Shariah perspective is that perpetual futures trading often involves elements of leverage and interest-bearing positions, which are problematic under Islamic finance principles.
