Metronome

# What is Metronome?
A DeFi ecosystem powered by the Synth protocol, METDAO, and the MET Token.

## Our Mission
We want to redefine the future of DeFi using synthetic assets to provide additional utility to blue-chip assets. We are building an ecosystem of DeFi tools that enable synthetics to take on multiple forms and create a highly efficient environment for advanced DeFi users.

# Metronome Genesis

## Leading DeFi since 2018
Since our initial launch in 2018, Metronome led the way for many projects in DeFi. We began with a set of elegant smart contracts that included one of the first AMM DEXes, in addition to a continuous mintage mechanism through daily auctions. Metronome continued to operate through the next four years, but due to the lack of composability in the token architecture, it hindered the ability for growth.

## (Re) launching MET Token
Our decision to relaunch the token allows for fast-paced enhancements to keep up with the rapidly changing industry of DeFi. Our new token has also allowed us to structure the ecosystem to a DAO, ensuring true decentralization within our ecosystem of protocols.

Kleros (PNK) is a decentralized dispute resolution project that launched in July 2018. It is an open-source online dispute resolution protocol that uses blockchain and crowdsourcing to adjudicate disputes fairly.

Kleros offers a middleman service for decentralized applications (DApps) and their users. If the service provided by the application does not create a dispute, Kleros acts as a trustless third-party service for payment.

When a dispute does occur, however, each party can apply for arbitration through the Kleros arbitrators that are selected from the owners of PNK tokens. PNK is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 utility token with a fixed supply.

At this point, the jurors can make a decision that will favor either party. The arbitration fees are distributed to all arbitrators in the form of ETH; jurors who have issued a minority decision lose part of their PNK tokens for the benefit of the majority of jurors. This decision can be appealed, at a cost. The stated mission of Kleros is to offer easier access to justice and improve individual freedom.

Kleros charges a cost that is payable in ETH and is provided by the parties to the dispute or drawn from the funds previously locked in escrow.

xDai is a cryptocurrency that is pegged to the US dollar. The xDai chain is a stable payment blockchain that is designed for fast and inexpensive transactions. STAKE is secured by proof-of-stake consensus. xDai was founded on Oct. 1, 2018.

STAKE is a multi-chain staking token that is designed to secure the payment layer. Staking allows validators and delegators to provide transaction consensus and receive staking incentives for block production. It is only required for consensus providers, not everyday on-chain transactions.

xDai was created by the POA Network, an open-source public side-chain of Ethereum founded in April 2017. It offers a framework for smart contracts which provides developers with an easy and effective way to code on Ethereum, while also leveraging the POA Network capabilities.

Oxen (formerly known as LOKI) is a privacy tech project with a mission. It’s a private cryptocurrency with instant transactions. An enormous and powerful PoS network. A secure messaging platform. A network anonymity layer. Tools to build a more private future for the Internet — all on blockchain.

Our vision is to provide a range of tools and services powered by the OXEN coin, enabling users and developers all over the world to leverage the power of our decentralised blockchain network to achieve unparalleled privacy and security as they work, play, and live their day-to-day lives on the internet. And this isn’t just an empty vision — we've put in the hard yards and spent years building these technologies to make our vision a reality.

The Oxen privacy stack includes:

Session, a fully anonymous, totally decentralised encrypted messaging platform

Lokinet, a powerful low-latency onion router

Oxen Name System (ONS), a registration system that allows users to provably burn OXEN to purchase temporary or permanent usernames for Session (and Oxen wallets), and domain names for Lokinet services

The Oxen coin is used for:

Staking to run Oxen Service Nodes

Purchasing name registrations for Lokinet (our onion router) and Session (our private messenger)

SALT Lending is a blockchain-based lending platform that offers users cryptocurrency-backed loans. Users deposit any combination of accepted tokens — such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Doge (DOGE), DASH (DASH) or SALT (SALT) — as collateral to receive a loan in the form of a fiat currency or stablecoin.

SALT Lending has a native token, called SALT, that can be spent to reduce the interest rate on a loan and can be used as a secondary form of loan collateral. Currently, SALT is redeemable at a $7.50 value for interest reductions on loans, a policy and valuation which are subject to change.

The company was launched in 2016 and is operated by Salt Blockchain Inc., a for profit entity, Salt Lending LLC: Salt Master Fund II, LLC – NMLS 1711910.

Haven Protocol is similar to an offshore bank where users can create private tokens that represent stable and volatile assets, including commodities and fiat currencies (such as USD). The protocol is based on Monero, which focuses on secure, private and untraceable transactions.

As a result, most of the features of Monero extend to the Haven protocol, including the bulletproofs and other privacy tech. The base currency of Haven is the XHV, which is burnt to provide users with private, untraceable, synthetic assets and commodities called xAssets.

The network uses a “mint and burn” process to provide users with untraceable digital assets with standard market pricing and real asset-pegged value storage. Simply, users can burn Haven (XHV) for Haven Dollars (xUSD), which is a synthetic stablecoin.

sUSD is a synthetic USD token enabled by the Synthetix protocol. It tracks the price of the US Dollar through price feeds supplied by Chainlink’s decentralized network of oracles. sUSD is integrated across the DeFi ecosystem as one of the most liquid decentralized stablecoins, including at Curve. It can be traded without slippage for other assets native to the Synthetix protocol at Kwenta or Synthetix.Exchange.

Strike is a DeFi lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies by depositing them into one of several markets supported by the platform.

When a user deposits tokens to a Strike market, they receive sTokens in return. These sTokens represent the individual’s stake in the pool and can be used to redeem the underlying cryptocurrency initially deposited into the pool at any time. For example, by depositing ETH into a pool, you will receive sETH in return. Over time, the exchange rate of these sTokens to the underlying asset increases, which means you can redeem them for more of the underlying asset than you initially put in — this is how the interest is distributed.

On the flip side, borrowers can take a secured loan from any Strike pool by depositing collateral. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio varies based on the collateral asset, but currently ranges from 50 to 80%. The interest rate paid varies by borrowed asset and borrowers can face automatic liquidation if their collateral falls below a specific maintenance threshold.
