Example: If a house costs $100,000 but the user only wants to buy $50,000 worth. Then, it can be purchased by splitting 100,000 tokens, each worth $1. The user only purchases 50,000 tokens.
To generate $mAssets, users must collateralise assets worth > 150% (if using stablecoin) or > 200% (if using $mAsset). For example: If you want to mint $100 worth of $mXAU, you must collateralise 150 $USDT or $mBTC worth $200.
For the above reason, you can see that $mAssets after minting from Mirror Protocol can be used as reverse collateral on Mirror Protocol, or traded on AMM Dexes.

Most projects offer two products at the same time to take full advantage of blockchain and as a mechanism to transfer risk between two groups of people:
Gyroscope is an all-weather stablecoin that is decentralized, scalable, and highly liquid based on revolutionary new designs. It's not out yet, still in testnet phase. But we'd like to share how the protocol works.
1. All-Weather Stablecoin 2. Dual AMM Mechanism 3. Still in development
Mechanisms:
1. Reserve Based: The reserve ratio, in the long run, is supposed to be 100% 2. Algorithmic: It has a dual AMM model which is basically an AMM in the primary market and an AMM in the secondary market.
2. Economic incentives to be used in the present (through game theory and mechanism design)
3. Desired system properties in the future (through token design)
Tokenomics (or token economics) is a subset of crypto economics. It is basically economics of the token; aka the crypto project. It does not include the crypto-system (aka blockchain technology like #ETH, #NEO, #NEM).
In #economics, we always talk about supply and demand. They are 2 lines. And usually when they intersect, that is what we call "market equilibrium". That point where the 2 lines meet is the market price and market quantity.
But what these lines share, is the relationship between both parties. When prices are low, buyers will demand more. When prices are high, buyers will demand less.
It is the opposite for sellers. When prices are high, sellers want to sell more. When prices are low, sellers want to sell less.
First of all, we need to understand that NFT is essential items that can be collected. Like a painting, rather than a typical token which has lots of incentives associated with it to increase buyer demand.
Therefore, valuing NFT is like valuing a real-life precious item; whoever feels it has a price, will pay that price.
Example: There are a lot of abstract paintings that are worth a few thousand dollars. Very few people understand what they mean, for example, but people still buy them.
You've heard of no-loss lottery. Now, get ready for no-loss stable coins! This week, we discussed $ALCX, @AlchemixFi, ft interview with @scupytrooples!
Deposit DAI into the system to borrow alUSD
Borrow up to 50% of the DAI collateral
Deposited DAI is used to generate yield
The yield is used to pay off the 50% alUSD borrowed
Why is it a no-loss stable coin?
Both assets are correlated
You can always trade alUSD for DAI
And they move in the same direction
