Intro Question Part
Q1. Can you introduce yourself to Generation Crypto community? What is your background and how did you come to the idea to create MatrixETF?
A1：Hello everyone, I am Alan, CTO of MatrixETF. It’s a pleasure to be invited by the Generation Crypto team to join this community AMA. First of all let me introduce myself in a brief way: I graduated from Ontario Institute of Technology, used to be Technical Director of multiple blockchain projects.
The idea to create MatrixETF has been around since when I got to know about the ETF: An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a type of security that tracks a sector, commodity, or other asset, but which can be purchased or sold on a stock exchange the same way a regular stock can.
An ETF can be structured to track anything from the price of an individual commodity to a large and diverse collection of securities. ETFs can even be structured to track specific investment strategies. People can get a basket of qualified token assets with only one click, no need for researching tokens or tracking the hotspots in the market. Well in this case we thought it would be interesting if we can combine the ETF with the DeFi concept, definitely it’s a trend in safe, convenient and stable asset management, which is quite easy for ordinary users.
Q2. Can you briefly describe what is MatrixETF in 3–5 sentences? And what is your Mission and Vision?
A2：Sure, MatrixETF is the next generation of decentralized ETF platform to run the cross chain，which goal is to establish a decentralized, automated, personalized and diversified portfolio for users, as well as help users easily enjoy long-term, stable and efficient financial services. We are a decentralized ETF with a cross-chain enabled platform.
MatrixETF’s Mission:
There are 4 phases on MatrixETF product development:
Phase1：Platform Self-created Funds
Phase2：Support for Adding Derivatives
Phase3：DAO Community Governance
Phase4：MatrixETF Components
Nowadays MatrixETF is in the first phase, in the future we will promote more conceptual ETF to track high qualified Tokens in the DeFi industry.
In the phase 3 to 4, we will gradually hand the governance right to our community, at the same time, MatrixETF will provide SDK toolkits to professional fund managers & institutions and influences, in order to create their own ETF.
This modular SDK can greatly improve the fund freedom, and ETF creators can efficiently manage funds and gain extra incomes by using this toolkit to invest in the DeFi ecosystem.
Recently MatrixETF has deployed smart contracts on both Solana and Ethereum, and we have successfully done our first phase of testnet. We planned to officially launch more than 2 ETF products before the end of September, which include 1 Ethereum based ETF and 1 Solana based ETF. In future we will deploy products on more public chains such as BSC、Polygon、Near in order to meet more users’ investment demands.
MatrixETF’s Vision: MatrixETF is a cross-chain enabled and decentralized ETF platform, our goal is to achieve decentralized and stable wealth growth. MatrixETF will provide users with various and automated ETF portfolios to lower the threshold of crypto investment and realize financial implementation.
Q3. Can you name your competitors? What are the main competitive advantages of MatrixETF?
A3：Well we can name there is quite few competitors in the market such as PieDao/PowerIndex/NFTX, I think the main competitive advantages of MatrixETF are:
1. Cross-chain enabled
As we know each chain has its own character such as the fast speed, low Gas fee and good experience purchasing an ETF on Solana, such as the rich DeFi ecosystem, various assets and good experience purchasing an ETF on Ethereum.
MatrixETF allows cross-chain function on different chains, the goal is to catch high-qualified assets on different public chains in addition to providing more market choices and incomes to users. Nowadays MatrixETF has deployed smart contracts on Solana and Ethereum, and we have successfully done open test on our products. In our blue picture we plan to launch at least 2 ETF products on both Solana and Ethereum.
In future we will launch more ETF products on more public chains such as BSC、Polygon、Near、Heco in order to meet all kinds of user’s investment demands.
2. Customized ETF
In the initial phase MatrixETF will launch a variety of conceptual ETFs for tracking high-qualified Token in the field of blockchain and DeFi.
Even MatrixETF created these ETFs, however we will provide governance rights to the community. At the same time, we will provide SDK toolkits to professional fund managers, investment institutions and influencers in order to create their own ETFs.
SDK can greatly increase the fund freedom, from where ETF creators can manage funds flexibly and efficiently, as well as gain extra incomes from assets and DeFi ecosystem.
