Insight:
UMA is a protocol for building synthetic assets. It provides smart contract templates, allowing anyone to create synthetic assets that track the price of any value subject. UMA also has its decentralized oracle system as a support.
Overall, the UMA project consists of two core concepts: Self enforcing contract design patterns that allow remargining, and an oracle mechanism for honest price reporting with economic guarantees.
