We are excited to announce that jFIATs have been added to Mean Finance, a state-of-the-art Dollar-Cost Average (DCA) protocol on Polygon, allowing users to purchase any token on Polygon from fiat and jFIATs, at the frequency they desire.

Dollar-Cost Average

Dollar-Cost averaging (DCA) consists in investing a fixed amount of money in the same asset at regular intervals over a long period of time, regardless of the price.

DCA is often cited as an example of a powerful and seamless strategy for building long-term investment positions in stocks or in crypto-currencies. Many centralized exchanges and wallet providers are offering such services to their users, to help them build their portfolios over time.

Mean Finance is the state-of-the-art DCA protocol that enables users to DCA any ERC20 into any ERC20 in a trustless, non-custodial, and gasless manner on Polygon and Optimism!

jFIATs on Mean Finance

By supporting jFIATs and their 0-fee and 0-KYC fiat on-ramp powered by Mt Pelerin on its platform on Polygon, Mean Finance allows users to DCA any token from Euro, Swiss Franc, or British Pound!

In order to create a DCA strategy, users need to deposit jEUR, jCHF, or jGBP in the platform and specify a frequency and an amount. And voila! The protocol will match internally users with the opposite position (for example someone buying WETH with jEUR and someone selling WETH for jEUR); if no position can be matched, or if not the entire positions can be matched, the market makers of the protocol are executing the trades. In our case, they would leverage jFIATs’ secondary markets liquidity (KyberSwap). The platform charges a fee of 0.6% to perform each swap, 0.3% for the protocol, and 0.3% for the market makers executing the trade.

After the completion of the transaction, users can view their positions under the position tab, and can modify and cancel them.

Eventually, they are issued an NFT which represents their current DCA strategy.
