mAssets

Meta Assets (mAssets) are assets that are composed of other underlying similar assets. Currently, deployed mAssets are mUSD and mBTC.

An incentivised constant sum market maker with hard limits at max region. This supports low slippage swaps and applies penalties towards min and max regions. AMM produces a stablecoin (mAsset) and redirects lending market interest and swap fees to the savings contract, producing a second yield-bearing asset.

_minOutputQuantity is used to limit slippage when swapping, minting or redeeming. Useful for preventing Sandwich and Frontrunning attacks.

Contracts are upgradable except for integration contracts. The ProtocolDAO multisig can migrate the assets from one integration contract to another.

Both mAssets (mUSD and mBTC) follow the ERC20 standard. The non-standard decreaseAllowance and increaseAllowance functions have been added to mitigate the well-known issues around setting allowances. These are based on the OpenZeppelin ERC20 implementation.

The following list describes functions that are part of this implementation and cover both assets.

ERC-20 Functions

totalSupply()

function totalSupply () external returns (uint256)

Returns the amount of tokens in existence.

balanceOf()

function balanceOf () external returns (uint256)

Returns the amount of tokens owned by account.

transfer()

function transfer () external returns (bool)

Moves amount tokens from the caller's account to recipient.

Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.

Emits a {Transfer} event.

allowance()

function allowance () external returns (uint256)

Returns the remaining number of tokens thatspenderwill be allowed to spend on behalf ofownerthrough {transferFrom}. This is zero by default.

This value changes when {approve} or {transferFrom} are called.

approve()

function approve () external returns (bool)

Sets amount as the allowance of spender over the caller's tokens.

Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.

IMPORTANT: Beware that changing an allowance with this method brings the risk that someone may use both the old and the new allowance by unfortunate transaction ordering. One possible solution to mitigate this race condition is to first reduce the spender's allowance to 0 and set the desired value afterwards: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20#issuecomment-263524729

Emits an {Approval} event.

transferFrom()

function transferFrom () external returns (bool)

Moves amount tokens from sender to recipient using the allowance mechanism. amount is then deducted from the caller's allowance.

Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.

Emits a {Transfer} event.

increaseAllowance()

function increaseAllowance () public returns (bool)

Atomically increases the allowance granted to spender by the caller.

This is an alternative to {approve} that can be used as a mitigation for problems described in {IERC20-approve}.

Emits an {Approval} event indicating the updated allowance.

Requirements:

  • spender cannot be the zero address.

decreaseAllowance()

function decreaseAllowance () public returns (bool)

Atomically decreases the allowance granted to spender by the caller.

This is an alternative to {approve} that can be used as a mitigation for problems described in {IERC20-approve}.

Emits an {Approval} event indicating the updated allowance.

Requirements:

  • spender cannot be the zero address.

  • spender must have allowance for the caller of at least

    subtractedValue.
