Mars Hub $MARS — Complete staking guide — Imperator.co

📌 What is MARS?

Mars is a money market protocol, similar to Compound or AAVE, but with additional and new features adapted to Cosmos. The Mars Hub is an Appchain considered as a Hub and which implements different “outposts” on other Cosmos chains.

How does it work? Mars aims to become the core credit protocol for the entire Cosmos ecosystem. To achieve this role, they had to find a way to avoid fragmented liquidity between chains. That is why they there is the Mars Hub that sits in the middle and coordinates asset movement between chains. If a market on a specific chain has an excess of USDC and another market on another chain has a shortage of USDC, Mars Hub will detect that and move assets accordingly. The very first outpost will be Osmosis.
