We are excited to announce that MDT is integrating with Bancor protocol. Now you can convert any tokens available on Bancor to MDT!

What does it mean exactly?

You can think of Bancor as a bank helping you convert US Dollars into UK Pounds. The difference is, it is the algorithms, rather than bankers, that process the conversion for you. The transactions will be recorded on public blockchain instead of an internal system of a bank.

By integrating the Bancor Protocol, MDT holders will gain access to continuous liquidity regardless of trade volume or exchange listings. Through the Bancor Network, any integrated token can be converted to any other directly from any Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask.

Users will soon be able to transform any token on the Bancor Network into MDT through a widget that will reside on our website first. (Details will be announced soon)

How does it work?

After MDT integrates with Bancor, it will create a MDT/BNT Token Relay. This Token Relay will hold two connector balances, one in MDT and one in BNT, each at a 50% weight. This allows MDT to be convertible with any other token in the Bancor Network, at a formulaically calculated price.

The higher the balance held by this Relay Token’s connectors, the higher its liquidity depth in the Bancor Network, and the lower its price slippage, meaning that larger conversions can take place at expected rates.

For example, if you want to purchase a few MDT with BNT (the token launched by Bancor), BNT will be first converted to MDT/BNT Token Relay, which will then be converted to MDT. Each of the conversions will cost 0.1% fee, so the combined trading fee will end up at 0.2%.

What are the advantages for you to use Bancor?

  • Efficiency: Convert tokens via smart contract at anytime regardless of buyers, sellers or trade volume
  • Security:No deposit required, no centralized exchange involved, more control over your funds and more resistant to hacking attempts
  • Convenience: No registration required, on-chain conversions directly from your web3 wallet

Attention: Any transaction on Ethereum blockchain needs ETH as gas fee, even if you are not trading ETH. So always remember to keep some ETH aside.

About Bancor

The Bancor Protocol is a standard for the creation of Smart Tokens, cryptocurrencies with built-in convertibility directly through their smart contracts. Bancor utilizes an innovative token “connector” method to enable formulaic price calculation and continuous liquidity for all integrated tokens, without needing to match two parties in an exchange. Smart Tokens interconnect to form token liquidity networks, allowing user-generated cryptocurrencies to thrive.
