With the rapid development of the cryptocurrency field, new tools and technologies are constantly emerging, providing users with more opportunities and possibilities. Among these, UPCX is an open-source payment system that uses advanced high-speed blockchain technology. It is specifically optimized to support payment and financial services better. UPCX provides a multifunctional and user-friendly ecosystem that allows everyone to participate easily.
A notable feature of UPCX is its highly reliable price oracle, which can create stablecoins pegged to the value of real-world assets. This technology opens up a new possibility for users: trading real-world assets with digital currency. Next, we will delve into how UPCX achieves this goal.
- Price Oracle: A Bridge Connecting the Digital World and the Real World
The role of the price oracle in the cryptocurrency field is as important as the compass in the hands of navigators. Price oracle builds a bridge for obtaining and verifying information between off-chain and on-chain, and it has become a critical tool in obtaining and providing price information. It can provide accurate and reliable asset price information for stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, and other blockchain applications (DAPPs), playing a critical guiding role in the decision-making process.
The operation of stablecoins is a typical application scenario. The value of stablecoins is pegged to a particular asset (such as the U.S. dollar or gold). To maintain this value stability, the first thing you need to know is the real-time market price of the asset. This information plays a vital role in the price oracle. When the price of the pegged asset changes, the stablecoin will adjust its value through the corresponding stability mechanism to maintain consistency with the asset price by obtaining these changes through the price oracle.
UPCX’s price oracle is such a tool that can provide not only the price of cryptocurrencies but also the price of real-world assets. This ability makes it an essential tool for creating stablecoins pegged to real-world assets (including fiat currency and commodities). Users can trade real-world assets in the digital world through such stablecoins, thereby achieving seamless docking between the digital world and the real world. Therefore, UPCX’s price oracle is like a bridge, connecting the digital world and the real world, allowing users to trade real-world assets with digital currency.
- Market Pegged Assets: Stable Digital Currency
Market Pegged Assets (MPA) are a particular type of cryptocurrency, the value of which is benchmarked against specific real-world assets or other virtual assets, achieving “pegging” and “equivalence.” These benchmark assets may include fiat currency (such as the U.S. dollar), commodities (such as gold), or other virtual assets. UPCX, with its integrated, reliable price oracle, obtains real-time market prices of these assets, thereby providing a basis for issuing MPAs that match these assets.
UPCX’s MPAs are managed by over-collateralizing UPC (UPCX’s governance token). This mechanism means that for each issuance of a certain amount of MPA, more than that amount of UPC must be deposited as collateral (over 200%). This design ensures the price stability of the MPA. Because the value of MPA is pegged to specific assets in the physical world or other cryptocurrencies, its price fluctuation is relatively small, making MPA a preferred choice for daily transactions and investments and an important guarantee for the stable operation of the UPCX payment system.
Price oracles are crucial in this process because they provide real-time and accurate market price data. This feature is critical in maintaining the stability of MPA value. Using price oracles, UPCX can track the price of assets pegged to the MPA, keep the value of the MPA in sync with these assets, and provide users with a stable trading and investment environment.
- UPCX: A Platform for You to Trade Real-world Assets with Digital Currency
What’s unique about UPCX is that it combines price oracles and Market Pegged Assets (MPA) to make it possible to trade real-world assets with digital currency. This functionality is achieved by obtaining real-time price information of real-world assets through UPCX’s price oracle and then issuing MPAs pegged to these asset prices based on this information.
If the collateral value of the issued MPA falls below the minimum collateral ratio, UPCX’s smart contracts will automatically liquidate the MPA collateral and forcibly release the MPA. At this point, the MPA held by the user will also be exchanged for UPC. This automatic liquidation mechanism further ensures the stability of the MPA ecosystem.
Therefore, anyone can trade real-world assets by buying and selling MPAs on the UPCX platform. For example, suppose you want to invest in gold. In that case, you can purchase MPAs pegged to the price of gold on the UPCX platform without directly buying physical gold. This feature significantly simplifies the transaction process and provides more trading options and opportunities for digital currency users worldwide.
- Conclusion
In simple terms, UPCX, through its highly reliable price oracle and Market Pegged Assets (MPA), makes it possible to trade real-world assets with digital currency. This functionality provides a novel and convenient way for the trade of real-world assets to be carried out in the digital world.
To help you understand better, let’s make a simple analogy: Imagine you are in a large market with all kinds of goods, such as apples, bananas, cars, etc. But you only have one type of currency, like the dollar. You need to know the exchange ratio of every kind of goods to the dollar (this is the role of the price oracle), and then you can use your dollars to buy the goods you want (which is the role of the Market Pegged Asset). On the UPCX platform, the real-world assets are those goods, UPC is your dollar, and the price oracle and Market Pegged Assets are the tools that help you make the purchase.
