New Proposal for Liquidity Mining
The team provided a default Liquidity Mining strategy (50/50 strategy), with a risk exposure of 50% ETH+50% USD. We changed the liquidity mining rule of XIA to incent the miners to not only provide liquidity but also to rebalance their portfolio.
Check out the new rules for the distribution of mining rewards - https://github.com/mcdexio/liquidity-mining/issues/25
The proposal was implemented on Thursday, 16 July 2020. Ready to mine MCB by providing liquidity to the AMM? Start here.

We implemented the "Rebalance" button in our product this week using which you can now rebalance your portfolio with a single click!
