Koop Multichain (MULTI) in Mexico

Multichain, originally known as Anyswap, was established in July 2020 as an open-source cross-chain router protocol. Its core function was to facilitate seamless exchanges of both fungible and non-fungible tokens across various blockchain networks. The project rebranded to Multichain in October 2021. The primary goal of Multichain was to enhance interoperability within the blockchain ecosystem, allowing users to move digital assets across different networks with ease. It supported a wide array of blockchains, including but not limited to BNB Smart Chain, Fantom, Harmony, Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche. Multichain employed several methods to bridge tokens. For assets with native versions on multiple chains, it utilized liquidity pools. If a token did not originally exist on a target blockchain, Multichain would lock the original token in a smart contract on its native chain and mint a wrapped, equivalent version on the destination chain. The security and operation of the Multichain network relied on a system of Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC) nodes. These nodes, operated by various independent parties, collectively signed transactions by generating individual parts of a private key, ensuring that the full key was never reconstructed in one place. The MULTI token served as the governance token for the Multichain protocol. Holders of MULTI could participate in voting and the overall administration of the ecosystem. Earlier holders of Anyswap's governance token, ANY, had the option to convert their tokens to MULTI on a 1:1 basis. However, in May 2023, the project encountered significant operational challenges following the arrest of its CEO, Zhaojun. This event eventually led to the cessation of the project's operations in July 2023. Despite the project's discontinuation, the MULTI token continues to maintain some market liquidity. Leer meer
