Magnetra is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Mantra Chain, designed to provide native trading, liquidity, and DeFi services with a focus on tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). It aims to serve as a central hub for liquidity and activity within the Mantra ecosystem. [1]
Magnetra was developed to address the absence of a native decentralized exchange on the Mantra Chain, an interoperable Layer 1 blockchain designed for RWA tokenization. The lack of a DEX presented challenges for projects launching on Mantra, including limited liquidity solutions, reduced user onboarding incentives, difficulty accessing tokenized RWAs in a decentralized manner, and hindered composability with future decentralized applications (dApps). Magnetra aims to fill this gap by providing core financial primitives in a scalable, secure, and user-friendly environment. Its vision is to become the cornerstone of decentralized finance on the Mantra Chain, bridging traditional and digital finance through advanced DeFi tools and RWA access, while its mission is to offer a high-performance, decentralized exchange supporting permissionless trading, innovative financial products, and RWA access with enterprise-grade security and regulatory awareness. [1]
The platform is engineered to catalyze growth within the Mantra ecosystem by offering a comprehensive suite of tools. These include an Automated Market Maker (AMM), yield farming and staking opportunities, dedicated markets for tokenized RWAs, AI-powered trading tools, and social trading mechanics. By integrating these features, Magnetra seeks to provide the necessary infrastructure layer for liquidity, accessibility, and overall ecosystem expansion on the Mantra Chain. [1]
Magnetra offers several core products designed to facilitate decentralized finance on the Mantra Chain:
- Automated Market Maker (AMM): A next-generation AMM engine supporting various trading strategies. It includes support for constant product pools for volatile assets and stable pools optimized for like-kind assets such as stablecoins or tokenized RWAs. Pool creators can configure parameters like swap fees and minimum liquidity thresholds. Specialized pool options include Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs), Permissioned Pools for RWAs, and Dynamic Fee Models. The AMM is designed for capital efficiency to reduce slippage and impermanent loss. [1]
- Yield Farming & Staking: Users can earn passive income through staking the native MGN token to help secure the protocol and earn a share of revenues, or through liquidity farming by providing liquidity to pools to earn MGN and partner tokens. Time-locked staking options are available for potentially higher rewards with longer commitments. [1]
- Tokenized Real-World Asset (RWA) Trading: The platform enables on-chain access to tokenized real-world assets like real estate and commodities. This is facilitated through licensed custodian onboarding, support for fractional ownership to allow retail access, and the use of Permissioned Pools that incorporate KYC/AML compliance measures. This functionality aims to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance in a regulated manner. [1]
In addition to its core trading and liquidity products, Magnetra incorporates several key features:
- AI-Powered Trading Tools: Provides artificial intelligence tools intended to assist users with trading decisions. These tools include trade prediction and signal generation, portfolio optimization and rebalance suggestions, risk scoring, and real-time alerts for volatile pools. These features are designed to offer advanced insights to both retail and institutional users. [1]
- Social Trading Infrastructure: A built-in social layer is included to encourage community-driven strategies. Features include Copy Trading, allowing users to automatically replicate the trades of top performers, public trader profiles with analytics, and the ability for elite traders to potentially monetize their strategies. This aims to increase user engagement and trust. [1]
- Governance Protocol: Magnetra is intended to be governed on-chain by holders of the MGN token. This includes an open proposal and voting system, the potential use of quadratic voting to balance influence, and the on-chain execution of approved proposals. This structure aims to maintain decentralization and community leadership. [1]
- Cross-Chain Trading: The platform plans to connect to the broader Cosmos ecosystem and other blockchain networks. This involves IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) integration for Cosmos-based swaps, liquidity aggregation across networks, and planned bridges to other chains such as Ethereum and Solana. This aims to position Magnetra as a liquidity core for Mantra and a gateway to multichain DeFi. [1]
Magnetra is positioned as a foundational component of the Mantra Chain ecosystem. The Mantra Chain is built using the Cosmos SDK and integrates IBC, providing an infrastructure for decentralized applications, particularly those focused on compliance and RWA tokenization. Magnetra aims to provide the essential decentralized exchange functionality that was previously missing from this ecosystem. By offering native trading, liquidity provision, and RWA access, Magnetra seeks to support projects launching on Mantra and provide incentives for users to engage actively on the chain. Its planned cross-chain capabilities via IBC and bridges aim to connect the Mantra ecosystem to liquidity and users from other blockchain networks. [1]
Magnetra is designed to support a variety of use cases for users within the Mantra ecosystem and potentially beyond:
- Trading Digital Assets: Users can trade various digital asset pairs through the platform's AMM. [1]
- Providing Liquidity: Users can deposit assets into liquidity pools to facilitate trading and earn rewards through liquidity farming. [1]
- Staking MGN: Holders of the native MGN token can stake their tokens to earn rewards and participate in protocol security. [1]
- Accessing Tokenized RWAs: The platform provides a decentralized venue for trading tokenized real-world assets, potentially including fractional ownership. [1]
- Utilizing AI Trading Tools: Users can leverage AI-powered tools for potential trade predictions, portfolio management suggestions, and risk assessment. [1]
- Engaging in Social Trading: Users can follow and potentially copy the trading strategies of other users, or share their own performance. [1]
- Participating in Governance: MGN token holders can propose and vote on changes to the protocol's parameters and future development. [1]
- Cross-Chain Swaps: Users can potentially swap assets across different blockchain networks integrated via IBC or bridges. [1]
Magnetra's technical architecture is built upon the foundation of the Mantra Chain and leverages components from the Cosmos ecosystem:
- Stack & Infrastructure:
- Utilizes the Cosmos SDK for blockchain development.
- Employs CosmWasm for smart contract functionality.
- Relies on Tendermint BFT for consensus mechanism.
- Integrates the IBC Protocol for cross-chain connectivity.
- Uses Kubernetes for scalable backend infrastructure.
- Includes custom Indexers & APIs for real-time performance data. [1]
- Security Measures:
- Plans for external security audits of the protocol.
- Implementation of a multisig treasury for managing funds.
- Development of AI-based threat detection systems.
- Establishment of a bug bounty program. [1]
The native token of the Magnetra protocol is MGN.
- Token Utility: The MGN token is designed with multiple utilities within the ecosystem:
- Governance voting on protocol proposals.
- Earning staking rewards.
- Receiving fee discounts on the platform.
- Providing liquidity incentives.
- Potential access to RWAs and Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). [1]
- Distribution: The total supply of MGN is capped at 1 billion tokens. The planned distribution is as follows:
- 20% allocated for Ecosystem development & strategic partnerships. 1/15th is unlocked initially, with the remainder locked for 6 months and then released quarterly over 5 years. [1]
- 25% allocated for Staking rewards and liquidity mining, distributed gradually over time. [1]
- 20% allocated for Team, advisors, and development, vested over 1-3 years. [1]
- 10% allocated to The DAO treasury to fund future governance and project proposals. This allocation is locked for 6 months and then released 1/10th every 3 months. [1]
- 15% allocated for Community incentives (airdrops, promotions, bounty programs). 1/10th is unlocked initially, with the remainder locked for 6 months and then released monthly over 3 years. [1]
- 10% allocated for Token sale (public sale). Unsold tokens from the sale are planned to be added to the liquidity pool at initial listing. [1]
- Deflationary Mechanisms: The protocol intends to implement mechanisms aimed at reducing the circulating supply of MGN over time, including fee burns, buyback and burn programs, and declining emissions. [1]
The provided whitepaper mentions plans for strategic partnerships, with initial partnerships targeted for Q1 2025 and expansion planned for Q3 2025. However, specific names of confirmed partners are not listed in the document. [1]
