A Way To Create And Manage Synthetic Assets And Financial Contracts

UMA, or Universal Market Access, is a decentralized financial contract platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. Coinidol.com on UMA token.

It enables the creation, maintenance, and settlement of financial contracts, particularly for synthetic assets and decentralized derivatives.

Decentralized oracle

UMA utilizes a decentralized oracle system that relies on an optimistic data verification process to obtain off-chain data and securely feed it into on-chain smart contracts.

UMA’s “priceless” financial contracts are designed to be self-enforcing, which means that they do not require frequent price updates from oracles. They are settled based on a predefined formula, reducing the need for external price feeds.

Synthetic assets and UMA token

The UMA platform uses its native ERC-20 token, also called UMA, to incentivize network participants, including data providers, oracle operators, and developers. The oracle voting mechanism allows token holders to participate in resolving disputes on the price of assets used in the contracts.

Moreover, UMA platform allows users to create and trade synthetic assets, which are tokens that represent the value of real-world assets without requiring direct ownership of the underlying assets. This enables exposure to various financial assets without needing to hold them.
