P Market
Status: live on testnet: one P/BTC pool per series on Mezo's DEX, each seeded with a small amount.
The P Market is for people who want a fixed return and no game.
How it gives a fixed return
P is a claim on 1 BTC paid on the series end date. Because you have to wait, P sells for a little less than 1 BTC.
Example: you buy 1 P for 0.96 BTC today. After the end date you redeem it for 1 BTC. That is a fixed return of about 4.2% for the wait, known the day you buy.
How it is built
- Each series has one P/BTC pool on Mezo's own DEX.
- The JuuPMarket helper creates the pools, shows P's price and the fixed return it implies, and lets you buy or sell P with plain BTC through Mezo's Router.
- As the end date gets closer, P's price moves toward 1 BTC, because anyone holding P can soon redeem it for exactly 1 BTC.
Things to know
- The test pools are tiny. A big buy moves the price a lot. On testnet, a buy of about 10% of a pool's BTC paid more than 1 BTC per P, while a buy of about 2% paid 0.96. Check
