Question 2

What is MDT token?

Accepted Answer

MDT is the Mixin Debt Token issued by Mixin as a debt token pegged to the US dollar value. There are mainly three types: MDTu, MDTe and MDTb, representing debts against three types of assets: erc20-USDT, ETH, and BTC.

Why issue debt tokens?

The Mixin Network suffered a hacker attack on September 23, 2023. This attack mainly involved assets of erc20-USDT, ETH, and BTC, equivalent to about $150 million at the time, other assets were unaffected. After several days of data statistics and team repayment capability assessment, Mixin is unable to repay immediately according to the currency-pegged model and can only issue dollar debt in the form of issuing debt tokens and use profits from continued business development to repay the debt.

Why issue three types of debt tokens?

Although the debts are all pegged to the USD price at midnight on September 23 and denominated in US dollars, Mixin will repay in the order of erc20-usdt, ETH, and BTC. That is, MDTu will be repaid first, followed by MDTe, and finally MDTb.

Debt ratio during migration

When you upgrade Mixin Messenger to version 1.0.0 or above, the wallet shows the assets as 0, and there is a blue prompt at the top "You have unmigrate assets, please tap to start migration" to guide you to migrate assets from the old system to the new system.

||| Please note that migration is a one-way operation. Once assets are migrated to the new system, they cannot be returned to the old system! ||| You can migrate assets
