Mixin has been working on exactly what Telegram is trying to achieve - Superapp status.
A quick primer on super apps:

If I had to take a stand on the super-app race situation:
Mixin is FARRR.. far.. behind
A key metric for chat apps is user adoption.
Telegram has 700M+ users, Mixin has barely 0.015% of that.

Telegram is going from messaging -> web3/defi
Mixin is going from web3/defi -> messaging
Looking at it from an existing userbase perspective, Telegram might outcompete Mixin as a super-app (Mixin still has a slim chance).
Or at least that's my take.

Let's focus on the DeFi aspects of the Mixin ecosystem since that's where they are thriving.
Mixin was founded in 2013 and launched at the end of 2017.
INBlockchain, a highly influential Chinese blockchain VC, invested in Mixin in Nov 2017.

The 400K in supply was released via an ICO on the BigONE exchange, traded against EOS in Nov 2017.
By Jan 2018, prices peaked over $2,000 (bag holders wya 👀)
The top 10 holders of $XIN make up 70.22% of total supply.

Full node collateral is 10,000 $XIN to establish initial trust.
Nodes are rewarded $XIN by verifying PoS transactions.
If a node is deemed untrustworthy, staked tokens are confiscated and redistributed into mining pools - like ETH.

Every dApp creation will have a one-time cost in $XIN, the amount is determined by the resources the dApp claims to consume.
API calls from dApps may cost some $XIN too, depending on the call type and count.

All of this is powered by Mixin's unique network of high performance distributed ledgers with the core called the "Kernel", supporting ledgers called "Domains" and "Domain Extensions"
The consensus algorithm adopted by Mixin is PoS and ABFT.

Mixin's distributed ledger (kernel) is maintained by 35 mainnet nodes (ie 350K $XIN are locked up in nodes).

Mixin domains are gateways that provide assets for the Kernel
(ie If someone wants to BTC to Mixin, the domain creates a transaction to the Mixin public key, and the Mixin kernel will verify the transaction)

Mixin Domain Extensions enable functionality in the form of smart contracts.
Separating each component makes Mixin Kernel the fastest decentralized solution for transferring digital assets.

Continuing from 9/n, Pando is a pretty big ecosystem on its own.
The most notable product being its stablecoin, pUSD.
Of the total 1T supply, only 25M is available to the public through Pando Leaf.
The rest are locked and managed by Mixin Trusted Group

Minting pUSD can be done on Pando Leaf using vaults.
As with most stables, pUSD requires overcollateralization by >150% (depending on the asset).

You can repeatedly mint pUSD in your vault if the collateral ratio is >150%.
Paying back pUSD decreases the borrowing size to save a vault from being liquidated.

pUSD can be used to generate APY by:
1. Supplying pUSD to Pando Rings (Lending Platform)
2. Liquidity provision in Pando Lake or 4swap (DEX)

It's very interesting how Mixin is so well hidden on CT despite being a top 10 TVL chain.
Part of it could be attributed to Mixin being a Chinese project, hence less covered on Western/English CT.
Hoping to get thoughts on this from Chinese CT @0xJamesXXX @BitRunX
