Metaverse Index

Metaverse Index (MVI)

The Metaverse Index (MVI) is a product of Index Coop, designed to capture the growing trend of entertainment, social activities, and business operations moving into virtual economies powered by NFTs and blockchain technology. The index weights tokens using a combination of their market cap and decentralized exchange (DEX) liquidity.

To be included in the MVI, tokens must meet specific criteria. They must be available on the Ethereum blockchain and belong to categories such as NFTs, Entertainment, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Music. Tokens must not be considered securities, must be bearer instruments, and should have a market cap of over $30 million with consistent DEX liquidity. Projects must have at least three months of operational and price history, significant usage, and must not be insolvent.

Furthermore, protocols should undergo independent security audits or be assessed by the methodologist. In case of security issues, the project team is expected to provide transparent resolutions. Initially, tokens will not be staked but this may change as liquidity and staking safety improve. The MVI is implemented on Set Protocol on the Ethereum mainnet.

These proposals cover a wide array of topics, including new product launches, changes to existing products, treasury allocation decisions, third-party protocol governance, and more. While the primary utility of $INDEX tokens lies in governance, it's within the power of $INDEX holders to determine additional utility and value accrual mechanisms for the token.

Project Development

The Index Coop has introduced a novel incentive called Product Revenue Tokens (PRTs) to involve depositors in sharing product revenue, marking a significant evolution in its product development process. The inaugural token to undergo this revamped launch process is the High Yield ETH Index token (hyETH), pending approval by $INDEX holders. Participants who deposit wstETH during the pre-launch phase stand to receive PRTs, granting them a share of revenue from the hyETH product.

The presale process for hyETH requires a minimum of 500 units of wstETH to be deposited for the token to transition into its full composition. PRT holders will receive product revenue through a staking contract, encouraging early deposits and active participation in the product's growth. However, presale participation is not available to Restricted Persons, and early withdrawals result in the forfeiture of rewards. Staking of PRTs is also restricted to non-Restricted Persons, with comprehensive limitations enforced. These measures ensure fair participation and distribution of rewards within the Index Coop community.
