Multi Explained

What is Multi?

Multi is a new type of token that lets its community actively shape which assets back it. Unlike other digital currencies with static reserves, Multi uses an innovative competition system where participants directly influence which tokens are in the reserves and in what proportions.

The process is straightforward: participants stake tokens to add assets to the reserves, compete with others who have different ideas, and earn rewards if their additions perform well. Multi's Market Stabilizer enables any reserve token to be exchanged for any other in a single transaction.

To participate, you can simply trade Multi tokens, which represent a share of the protocol's reserves, or take a more active role by joining competitions with governance tokens. The system automatically handles all necessary issuance or redemption behind the scenes.

Based on the Foresight Protocol, Multi combines community-driven reserve management with automated multilateral exchange. This creates a system that continuously evolves based on real-world performance rather than just votes or arbitrary decisions.

Components

The market stabilizer and foresight network operate in a symbiotic, self-improving loop. The market stabilizer's trading activity generates price data for the competitions, while the competitions constantly refine Multi's backing, reconfiguring the market stabilizer. This allows the system to dynamically adapt to changing market conditions and evolving demand for the underlying assets.

Market Stabilizer

The market stabilizer automatically optimizes trading in the Multi ecosystem. When users place orders, it finds the best prices by trading multiple reserve tokens simultaneously. This process ensures users get optimal rates while adjusting Multi's supply to match demand. As a result, users benefit from enhanced liquidity, more efficient trading, and increased market price stability. Automatically scales Multi's supply to market demand.

  • Engineered to mitigate systemic risks, including bank runs.
  • Mitigates the risk of market manipulation and price swings.
  • Enhances market liquidity as a neutral participant.
  • Generates a reliable price feed, improving market price accuracy.
  • Enables swapping fund tokens for any underlying token via multilateral trades.
Scale

The market stabilizer ensures that each coin is properly backed by precise quantities of tokens.

As Multi grows, the system purchases the appropriate quantities to maintain constant token ratios.

Multi utilizes a multilateral exchange across different markets to ensure precise backing.

Portfolio Tournaments

Multi organizes structured competitions where participants propose changes to the reserve composition. The tournament follows a precise sequence: the system announces eligible tokens and prices, participants stake capital alongside their proposals, and the protocol sources assets at optimal market rates. Each tournament creates controlled, incremental improvements through a transparent process that prevents manipulation.

  • Competitions run in clear sequential stages
  • System announces terms and prices upfront
  • Players submit stakes and proposed changes
  • Market-based price discovery ensures fairness
  • Performance measured over extended periods

Self-Improvement

Multi employs Proof of Improvement as its foundational mechanism for evolution. This mathematical verification compares the performance of proposed changes against the existing reserve. Capital naturally flows from underperforming strategies to successful ones, creating a merit-based ecosystem where influence is earned through demonstrated value creation.
