UMA (UMA/USD)

We regret to inform you that Indication Investments Ltd is exiting the Temporary Permission Regime and will no longer be accepting clients from the United Kingdom.

UMAUSD is the token for the UMA project. The company is one of the developers of a protocol to create synthetic assets, which allows users to write self-executing smart contracts with economic guarantees. UMA was developed to support financial innovations made possible by open public blockchains such as Ethereum. UMA defines an open-source protocol that allows any two counterparties to develop and create their own financial contracts. However, unlike traditional derivatives, UMA contracts are insured only through economic stimuli, which makes them self-sufficient and open to the public.

The project's investors are Placeholder, BainCapital Venture, Blockchain Capital, Two Sigma Ventures, Box Group, Coinbase Venture, Dragonfly Capital Partners and Fintech Collective.

Token owners have two main responsibilities:

  • Voting for price queries on financial contracts using DVM
  • Managing the UMA ecosystem by voting for parameter changes and approving system updates.

Voters who participate and vote correctly receive inflationary remuneration (currently, it's 0.05% of the total number of network tokens) that is proportionally distributed by rates.
