MARKET Protocol (“MARKET”) provides an opportunity for crypto holders to gain exposure to both real-world and digital assets through derivatives using crypto-based assets as collateral on the Ethereum blockchain.

As an open source protocol governed by its participants, MARKET does not levy any fees or extract value from the system. The protocol provides the interoperability necessary for order routing and other trading activities on the blockchain. By utilizing a shared collateral pool, MARKET introduces a systemically responsible alternative to traditional leverage.

Third party projects can build decentralized applications or “dApps” on top of the protocol, giving the non-technical Trader the ability to easily interact with the underlying blockchain technology. The internal team is preparing to release the first dApp for public beta that allows users to create MARKET contracts and explore previously deployed contracts.

MARKET will provide exposure for Traders to other cross-chain crypto assets without having to manage multiple exchanges or take custody of a separate asset. This means Traders can have similar price exposure to owning a cryptocurrency like Monero or stock like Apple without ever transacting in the asset. Traders will be able to gain long and short exposure to any asset, provided there is sufficient liquidity.

IMHO= there is always a large field to play when a market opens, and this could actually be successful if it is maintained properly!
the devs have a HUGE job in-front of them , so lets hope they step up to the challenge they themselves are proposing
good luck guys!

Good question ty,

MKT will be the base token of the MARKET ecosystem and benefits from integration into all facets of MARKET. Peer-to-peer trading is free on MARKET and no fees are native to the protocol. Nodes providing order book hosting and management will have the option to set and collect transaction fees for offering this service. Orders submitted without the required transaction fee may be rejected by the node. These transaction fees will be collected by the nodes in MKT.

 MKT holders will also have a vote in protocol improvements and development. This ensures both users and projects using  MARKET Protocol have a voice in the protocol’s future.

 Token Use
1.Contract Access: ​Initially, participants are required to post 25 MKT tokens along withthe appropriate base token (for collateral) to trade each user-defined contract. MKTposted in this way is returned to the user when they stop trading a specific contractor upon expiration.

2.Transaction fees:​ Nodes provide a service to users of MARKET Protocol and inexchange for this service, may charge a transaction fee denominated in MKT. Eachnode sets its own fee for the service.. Nodes are expected to differentiatethemselves on the fees and services provided giving users many choices forexecution.

3.Settlement: ​For accuracy and autonomy, most contracts will automatically settle topublicly accessible oracle solutions. In the event of a settlement disagreement, or adisrupted settlement process, MARKET intends to a employ number of solutionsincluding,  backup oracles or a crowd sourced resolution pulled from the pool ofMKT holders.

4.Contract Creation:​ Initially, users will be required to hold a minimum of 500 MKT tocreate a new trading contract. The purpose of this arbitrary holding is to encouragethoughtful contract creation.

5.Protocol Decisions:​ We expect MKT token holders to vote on protocol decisions anddevelopment. This will include things like number of MKT tokens required forcontract access or creation as indicated above. The more MKT an account holds; themore influence it will have. At the onset, decision making will be more centralized.MKT holders represent the whole ecosystem, traders, nodes and speculators andeach has a voice in protocol direction. Over time, our goal is to move towards a morecommunity-based decision model.Draft document. For informational purposes only.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MarketProtocol/comments/824bes/expanding_the_world_of_products_available_on/

One issue with the existing decentralized exchange (dex) ecosystem is the limited offerings that are available to participants. Confined to the ERC20 world, traders must transition to a centralized service if they would like to gain access to cross chain assets (ETH/BTC for example). Additionally, there is no path for anyone to gain exposure from crypto to real world assets, like AAPL/USDT, even from a centralized service. Most often, traders are looking to gain price exposure to an asset, and often do not care about actually taking custody of that asset. Said another way, if a trader thinks bitcoin will rise in value and wants to make a profit, they don’t actually need or perhaps even want to hold bitcoin, rather just make money from its price appreciation.

MARKET Protocol allows dex’s to extend their product offerings to both of these asset types. By using an oracle solution to create a derivative contract we can allow for a diverse universe of products all tradeable with ERC20 tokens as collateral in a decentralized fashion. Imagine going on to your favorite dex, and seeing pairs like ETH/BTC or ETH/Monero and being able to easily trade these products. Additionally, contracts can now be created to gain exposure to real world assets, trading AMZN/DAI (a stable coin) now becomes a reality while never leaving the Ethereum blockchain.

Ultimate goal of MARKET is to provide the traders with a set of tools to enable them with risk management and price discovery solutions, with huge flexibility and no need for third-party custodian or clearing house or borrowing the underlying asset to get the price exposure

We are hiring head of engineering!

MARKET Protocol is a small team of industry experts creating a decentralized protocol to enable derivative trading on the Ethereum blockchain. The founding team worked together for seven years managing an algorithmic trading desk before changing their focus to blockchain technology at the end of 2016. The protocol has been developed in an open source, community driven, environment. This has many advantages and we need candidates who are enthusiastic about operating in a “public by default” mode. While having the team centrally located near Boulder, CO is the ideal scenario, we are much more concerned with finding the right person than the right location and all qualified applicants will be considered.

Responsibilities: ● Manage and organize internal development team, as well as, open source community contributors ● Create and maintain quality of code guidelines for contributors and implement solutions to maintain these guidelines ● Interact directly with technical founders to assist in carrying out development roadmap and vision ● Scale internal development team, evaluate candidates and make key hires ● Collaborate to ensure correct architecture as our protocol scales and launches by year end ● Engage non-technical community around project

Required Experience: ● Interest in blockchain technology and open source community development ● Proven track record of building, scaling and managing development teams ● Familiarity with Git, and specifically managing workflow and issues via GitHub ● Experience with testing and continuous integration ● Ability to help with deployment and scaling of our web app using AWS ● Experience with JavaScript ● Potential to create a work environment that attracts top tech talent

Desired Experience: ● Understanding of Ethereum, Solidity, React, Web3, TypeScript, FIX ● Background in financial markets, specifically derivatives trading ● Knowledge of the decentralized exchange ecosystem and trading of cryptocurrencies ● Expertise in managing open source projects ● Proximity to Boulder, CO

Please send cover letter, resume and applicable links (github, social media, etc) to: Phil Elsasser phil@marketprotocol.io

We are currently in process of building the first version of our beta dApp, which would be an introduction to contract creation and deployment process. The second beta should be out towards the end of the spring 2018 which will be a simulated exchange on testnet. In Q3/Q4 we expect to launch on Mainnet.

Q1 2019 – We fill focus on building our partner / new oracle solutions, Q2 2019 MARKET Portfolio tracker, Standardized Node API. Q3/Q4 2019 – Continue building partnerships and working on aggregating liquidity over nodes, decentralized governance and dispute resolution. 2020 – Improve scaling and matching. Focus on delivering lower latency and higher throughput solutions.

As far as oracle solutions we offer goes, we are currently using oraclize.it but we do allow users to pick their own oracle as well during contract creation. The best way to stay tuned with our future milestones is to join our Telegram chat - https://t.me/Market_Protocol_Chat

A Third-party relayer can be anyone interested in building dApps on top of the protocol, so either companies or developers looking to provide sustainable solutions are welcome, since the protocol is open-source. A good example would be Radar Relay that has built a DEX on top of Ox protocol. We however, represent a different type of product, since MARKET contracts are not A to B spot trading type of instrument, but something similar to futures contracts, with some differences and advantages over traditional futures, like 100% fully collateralized trades and decentralized custody and funds settlement.

All funds that are used to trade a derivative as collateral are going to be posted in a smart contract collateral pool. Even though Ethereum network can sometimes be congested,
and our contracts are subjected to it for on chain for positions, accounting, collateral and a few other items. Order book hosts however are off chain.

MARKET Protocol contracts derive their value from an underlying asset which can be on-chain, such as cryptocurrencies and digital tokens, or off-chain, like stocks, bonds, or indexes. In the crypto world, specifically mining for example, if an individual believes that they can profitably mine Ethereum (or any other mineable cryptocurrency) over a certain length of time in the future at a minimum guaranteed price, they may want to enter into a contract now to eliminate the risk of a future price decline in Ether.

MARKET Protocol #1 Top 4 Upcoming Crypto Projects by The Merkle

 HomeNewsCryptoTop 4 Upcoming Cryptocurrencies

Prior to the explosion of the cryptocurrency sphere as a whole in 2017, most new projects launched in the absence of initial coin offerings. While this funding method has become the norm throughout the community, it has done so in the presence of massive controversy in regards to the ethics and legitimacy of the ICO model. While it seems as if every upcoming project involves such a crowdsale, it’s important to recognize that there are legitimate ventures operating sans ICOs. Here are four to check out:

1. MARKET PROTOCOL (MKT)
The team behind Market Protocol is working to develop a decentralized derivatives exchange – the first of its kind. Market Protocol will represent an ecosystem of DApps that allow participants to create and execute a variety of trades, trustlessly, with other participants. These contracts will encapsulate functions like margins and futures trading for both cryptocurrency and non-crypto stocks and commodities alike.

Market Protocol will be fueled by its token, MKT, to create contracts, connect traders, act as collateral, and execute trades. The team is currently finalizing its first DApp, contract creation. Soon following will be a DApp that will enable trading capabilities. The team is unsure as to how they will distribute MKT, but they have stated that there are no plans to hold an ICO. Currently, the project’s development is being funded by the team itself.

MARKET will provide exposure for Traders to other cross-chain crypto assets without having to manage multiple exchanges or take custody of a separate asset. This means Traders can have similar price exposure to owning a cryptocurrency like Monero or stock like Apple without ever transacting in the asset. Traders will be able to gain long and short exposure to any asset, provided there is sufficient liquidity.

MARKET Protocol Partners with Top Decentralized Exchange - DDEX

MARKET Protocol is pleased to announce a partnership with DDEX! As a decentralized exchange, DDEX plans to implement MARKET Protocol alongside their existing spot trading. MARKET Protocol was built to enable buying or selling of derivative relationships in a DEX environment without the need to borrow or take custody of the underlying reference asset. Through derivative exposure DDEX’s users are no longer limited by existing ERC20 to ERC20 relationships and opens the door for expanded on-chain, off-chain and cross-chain offerings all within a safe and solvent trading ecosystem.

DDEX has focused on delivering an easy and intuitive trading experience. Seth Rubin, CEO and co-founder of MARKET Protocol said, “We have watched DDEX do a great job growing their user base and product offerings by simplifying the entire decentralized trading process and look forward to working together.” Bowen Wang co-founder of DDEX mentioned, “MARKET Protocol allows us to provide a range of unique trading relationships within our existing infrastructure. We can create many new trading opportunities for our users they can’t get anywhere else.”

There are only 45 views. It looks very little to be honest. Yes, I understand that maybe on YouTube you are not correctly considered but when such people come and see such a small interest in what the main representative of the project says, that says a lot. Do everything to make the views bigger. This for investors says a lot about how the owners of exchanges look at new projects.

Agreed, this video we published internally might not have been as viewed, but 2 videos featuring the project or team have had a substantial virality so far - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRipt7d5LPc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4WjbdsnByM
