Umee was founded by Brent Xu, a former contributor to the Ethereum ecosystem and former Strategic Advisor to Tendermint. In total, Umee lists 16 employees on its Linkedin, with experience at different blockchain companies like Binance, Yearn, and Sushi, as well as tech companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon.

Furthermore, Umee has raised $6.3 million in a seed round led by Polychain, with investments from Coinbase Ventures, Alameda Research, and others.

Although many DeFi protocols claim they want to integrate DeFi across blockchains, Umee is in a unique position to do so for several reasons.

First, its Tendermint proof-of-stake consensus mechanism provides a mix of speed and efficiency that enables Umee to create a credible base layer for cross-chain lending and borrowing. Built on the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) interoperability protocol, the flagship Cosmos protocol for cross-chain communication, Umee offers fast transaction finality without multiple block confirmations or excessive time delays.

Furthermore, its Gravity Bridge bridges between Cosmos and Ethereum and allows transfers between the two ecosystems with opposing value propositions. ERC-20 tokens can be used on a chain with fast transaction finality (Cosmos) and then be bridged to a network focused on decentralized validators (Ethereum).

Another key feature of the Umee ecosystem is its Universal Debt Facility, a base layer lending protocol allowing developers to deploy their own customized debt instruments. Thanks to its modular design, future lending pools, and DeFi protocols can build interfaces on top of it.

Umee's meTokens are used for collateralized liquid staking positions. For example, a trader can have a staked position on one blockchain through the Umee ecosystem and use this staked collateral, represented by a meToken, to open another position in another ecosystem. Furthermore, its uTokens fulfill a similar function for assets lent through the platform's Universal Debt Facility. Traders receive interest on their lent assets and uTokens represent both the asset and the accruing interest.

UMEE is the native governance token and is used for consensus validation in the network's PoS architecture. It also accrues network fees from token swaps and is used to pay for gas on Umee, similar to ETH on Ethereum. The token has a total supply of 10 billion according to the following distribution:

• Public Sale (5%): vested linearly for eight to ten months depending on the sale option selected.
• Community (46%): one year linearly.
• Private Sale (14%): six-month cliff, 1% vested linearly for six months while the remaining 13% vested linearly for eighteen months.
• Team (15%): six-month cliff, vested linearly for thirty months.
• Umee Labs (10%): twelve-month cliff, vested linearly for eighty-four months.
• Ecosystem (9%): community governance will decide how to use these tokens to best incentivize developers to build on top of the Umee blockchain; vested linearly for eight years.
• Advisors (1%): six-month cliff, vested linearly for thirty months.

Token inflation will depend on the staking participation rate. Inflation can reduce to 7% if the staking rate exceeds the target or rise to 14% if it undershoots the target staking rate. Furthermore, the community can decide to use platform fees for buybacks and burns of UMEE to create deflationary dynamics and raise the token price.

UMEE is available on DigiFinex, BTCEX, Gate.io, and MEXC.
