Introduction
Welcome to Malt Protocol. The Malt Protocol is a suite of tools built around a crypto-native stablecoin (MALT). The goal is to create a truly decentralized system that aligns participants throughout the defi stack towards creating an economically sustainable stablecoin.
What is Malt?
At its core, Malt consists of a stablecoin backed by a diverse basket of crypto assets. The rest of the protocol consists of building blocks for things like staking, collateral risk management, arbitrage strategies and swap handling. All of these building blocks working together allows the system to make profit from the market and use that cashflow to fund a yield paid to LPs as well as sustainably increasing the collateral. This system is dynamic and allows for any assets to be profited and distributed. As liquidity and staked TVL grows for a particular asset, the more opportunity the protocol has to profit from that asset and therefore the more of that asset the protocol ends up holding. Due to this Malt has a way to dynamically collateralize itself and shift collateral weightings based on real time market forces. It is decentralized, fully autonomous and can react to shifts in the market.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to build a decentralized financial system that is accessible, fair, and beneficial to all participants. We aim to tap into the vast pool of on-chain value and distribute it more equitably, allowing everyone — not just tech-savvy developers or well-funded institutions — to benefit from the growing on-chain ecosystem.
We can see a future where:
DeFi has a truly decentralized stable store of value
The profits generated on-chain are accessible to a wider audience
Community collaboration drives the development of a robust, decentralized stablecoin
Key Components at a Glance
The Malt Protocol ecosystem consists of several interconnected components:
The Malt Stablecoin: Our decentralized stablecoin, backed by a dynamic basket of crypto assets.
MaltSwap DEX: An automated market maker supporting both stable and floating asset pools.
Arbitrage System: A mechanism that profits from price discrepancies across different exchanges.
Profit Distribution System: Ensures fair allocation of generated profits between growing protocol capital and rewarding liquidity providers.
Staking System: Allows users to stake their MaltSwap LP tokens and earn a share of the protocol's cashflow.
GRN Token: Provides fee reductions on MaltSwap.
These components work together to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that aligns the interests of all participants — from casual users to liquidity providers to arbitrageurs — towards building a strong, decentralized stablecoin.
In the following sections, we'll dive deeper into each of these components and explain how you can participate in and benefit from the Malt Protocol ecosystem.
