Melonport (MLN)

Blockchain Infrastructure

Overview

Melonport is the private company building the open-source blockchain-based Melon protocol for asset management. It enables participants to set up, manage and invest in digital asset management strategies in an open, competitive and decentralised manner

Features

The protocol allows you to do next things: - Set up portfolio structures using a collection of smart-contracts - Manage digital assets within the pre-defined parameters selected by the User’s portfolio structure - Build an auditable, visible track record with virtually no setup costs and minimal variable costs - Invest in other portfolios, or have others invest in yours

Technical Details

- Blockchain based protocol built on the Ethereum platform - MLN (Melon token) is a core component of the Melon project. It is designed to enjoy a “usage right” to the Melon protocol - All MLN that are paid by Users to access Melon will go into a smart contract called a “Multichain fund”. The purpose of this fund is initially to secure trustless connectivity to other blockchains as well as redeploying the melon protocol - Shares of the portfolio will be represented by a smart-contract following the Ethereum token standard (ERC 20)

After deployment of the MELON PROTOCOL, up to a maximum of 625,000 of new MLN TOKEN will be created per year through inflation to incentivise maintenance, further development and governance of the MELON.
