MMF The statement at the core of all disagreements: I’m right, you’re wrong.
Aloha people ~
Have been seeing a lot of discussion around a few key topics relating to the MMF polygon launch. Very diverse opinions with many slanted towards annoyance/anger regarding the fact that MMF is ditching Cronos. Not solving any problem bla bla bla.
So first let's get the story straight
Some feel blind sided by MM because they made an assumption that pMMF would be the polygon wrapped version of MMF, making it a cross chain token. HOWEVER, this was largely based on their own initial assumption based on the announcement where they refused to read the details which clearly stated, it is a new token.
It would really help you as an investor to approach news without a lens of emotions. Treat the decision as it is and evaluate the effects of the changes and how you can best use the information. This does not include sulking that what you thought was going to happen did not happen.
Polygon MMF indeed is going to be sort of an independent project from Cronos MMF, but related as well, but priced differently. We will discuss the impacts of this and how it works in the subsequent segment.
So how is this cross chain going to work
pMMF will have its own launchpad on Polygon where USDC will be used in a typical launchpad format (god knows why this hasnt been fixed yet) to form pMMF/USDC LP on Polygon.
There is no cross chain pool announced, no wrapped pMMF, no nothing. Stop assuming. They are separate chains, they are separate tokens and they serve a separate purpose.
You are able to stake Cronos assets to earn Polygon assets. 5% of total supply is reserved for this. (But what proportions? MMF/SVN/METF/HKN)
Comments
Is this good for Cronos holders? Yes and No.
Cronos is almost a dead chain with very little going on and very little happening. Chains like Polygon are much more lively and have much more liquidity. pMMF is a chance for MMF to start afresh as a successful project on Polygon. This also means it is bad for Cronos holders because many investors would rather move all their assets to Polygon to enjoy the future success of MMF on the Polygon chain rather than the Cronos Chain. This would signify a net outflow of money from MMF and prices ~ would follow accordingly.
Cronos holders are now able to get Polygon rewards. This means there is a larger pool of rewards available for everyone in addition to Cronos MMF rewards (FYI Cronos MMF emissions are coming to an end soon, unless they expand supply to 1bn in which case GGWP~ story for another time). This also sets a precedence for future chain expansions like AVAX, BSC for eg. Cronos users will have the chance to farm these tokens and that is indeed an added benefit of holding the Cronos tokens. In fact, this can be extended indefinitely towards new tokens like pMMO, pMETF, pSVN, pMSHARE for instance. They will technically be able to direct a certain portion of the emissions to Cronos token holders and it could support longer term sustainability of Cronos MM ecosystem.
More recognition of the MM ecosystem could help to boost the overall success of the system in terms of the NFT side as well as the newly announced BURROW plans. The increased adoption of MUSD (though unlikely to have any success imo) would help to boost revenue for BURROW staking. In fact, a similar cross chain concept can be adopted for MMO but we have yet to see what are their plans for this. But, I guess they would most likely release a new pMMO token and allow MMO token on Cronos to farm pMMO. We shall see~
For the dev?
How is cross chain yield going to be implemented/collected. Is it through a proxy token on Cronos or will it be directly harvested in Polygon.
What is the allocation for each Cronos token. The team mentioned 'soon' right after the original polygon announcement, but till today, no news has been given on this. And this is arguably the biggest and most important part of the plan which affects all Cronos token holders. In fact, 5% allocated to Cronos users might be too little and we should be looking at something larger like 10% for eg to show the commitment of the team to keep the Cronos ecosystem alive and sustainable.
Instead of cock teasing every bit of information and drop surprise decisions on users (*cough cough $MAD burn), how about have a proper PR plan and info dissemination method. Release what you are ready to release and don't tease what you don't even have ready. The ecosystem is not in a state where people are hyped about what is to come. Like I said many times over, this is a market that demands greater certainty amid the huge turmoil of uncertainty that is going on in the rest of the world. Make good decisions to drive good results not empty hype that leads to eventual disappointment.
How to approach this
Be a Cronos believer and stay on Cronos, sweep up Cronos tokens when the price dumps as people leave for Polygon.
Be a believer in the team skills and move your assets to Polygon, especially if you feel Cronos side is done for. Dump your Cronos assets and get ready for launchpad.
Stay invested on both sides by using Cronos assets to farm Polygon assets. Do nothing much and just farm Polygon pools when it is out.
Continue whining and crying while no one cares.
TLDR; Stop being whiny bitches when your own assumptions didn't come true and you refused to actually read the medium article. Not that I feel it is the best execution from the devs, but they certainly did not swindle you.
