Fourth Bi-Weekly Report - MCDEX
Things have been moving fast for us at MCDEX. Before we dive deep into MCDEX’s fourth bi-weekly report, you may want to read the third bi-weekly report again here.
To give you a brief recap, the third bi-weekly report focused on — liquidity mining calculator, the next round of liquidity mining “SHANG”, the eUSD proposal, increase in trading fees, our first governance meeting, research on L2 solution, the launch of ambassador and bug bounty program, community engagements, and plan for August.
Let’s dive deep into our fourth bi-weekly report!
The MCB Foundation
The MCDEX Foundation will provide grants in MCB on a monthly basis for the tasks based on the performance of the Ambassadors. The Foundation’s Budget & Expenses will be disclosed every month!
High Gas Fees
Due to the high gas fee, we proposed to increase the liquidation penalty rate of ETH-PERP. We invited suggestions and feedback from the community. Later, we invited the community to vote on this governance proposal (details to follow)
For the same reason, we also proposed to distribute MCB to liquidity providers every Wednesday temporarily.
Round ZHOU of Liquidity Mining — Discussion
We invited the MCDEX community to share their suggestions and feedback on the next round of liquidity mining — round ZHOU! Our active community shared their thoughts for the improvement of liquidity mining round.
Based on the discussions on the forum post, we made the voting proposals.
LINK-PERP Launch
We launched the LINK Perpetual contract with 5x leverages. The community came forward to support us with likes and shares. We thank the Chainlink community especially the link marines for their continuous support.
You can earn MCB tokens by adding liquidity (in $LINK) to the LINK-PERP AMM. Here’s the Liquidity Mining Guide.
You can use the reward calculator to know how many MCBs you will mine by providing liquidity to the LINK-PERP AMM.
Voting on Proposals and Rules for Round ZHOU
We launched 7 proposals for our active community to vote on and they didn’t disappoint us. The rules for round ZHOU of liquidity mining were based on the votes received on the proposals.

MCB Chart-Art Competition & Memes Contest
One community member “Dalvinchi” proposed a charting competition on TradingView. The competition will run until August 31st.
We all love memes. We launched a memes competition and the community will decide the winners for the same. The contest ends 1 Sep 12 PM UTC.
Increase in the rate of Liquidation Penalty
As per the votes received — we increased the liquidation penalty rate of ETH-PERP from block 10,727,500.
