We are happy to announce that UMA has joined the family of the over 200 cryptocurrencies available for exchange on Changelly! Starting today, users will be able to exchange it with other digital assets at floating rates on our platform.
The UMA governance token is used to operate UMA’s dispute resolution system, known as the Data Verification Mechanism (DVM). Owning UMA gives you the ability to contribute with price information to the DVM and contribute to UMA protocol governance decisions.
As the total value of collateral locked in UMA grows, UMA token is required to increase in value to ensure the security of the DVM. The DVM is designed with an economic guarantee around the cost it would take to corrupt the oracle and the profit someone would receive from corrupting the oracle. The cost of corrupting the DVM is as measured by the cost of obtaining 51% of UMA voting tokens.
The DVM ensures the price to obtain 51% of UMA tokens is greater than the profit from corrupting the DVM, as measured by the collateral stored in the financial contracts that are registered with it. To ensure this inequality holds, the DVM may charge fees to financial contracts which the DVM would use to buy UMA tokens.
We are thrilled to have the UMA token join Changelly and we appreciate а fast, flexible, and secure way to create decentralized financial products that offer UMA.
