What is Momentum (MMT)?
Momentum is a decentralized exchange on Sui that provides trading, liquidity provision, lending, borrowing, and liquid staking in one platform. The protocol officially describes itself as "The operating system powering the next era of global finance, where assets are tokenized, seamlessly connected and tradable in one place."
The platform solves DeFi's fragmented liquidity by enabling tokenized assets and diverse financial instruments to be traded and managed within a single ecosystem, removing barriers between different platforms and asset classes.

How Momentum (MMT) Works
Momentum operates as a DEX on Sui where users trade, provide liquidity, and earn rewards through several core technologies:
Concentrated Liquidity (CLMM)
Momentum uses Uniswap v3-style concentrated liquidity, letting liquidity providers focus capital in specific price ranges. This reduces slippage, increases fee revenue, and makes trading more efficient than traditional AMMs.
Liquidity Pools and Auto Vaults
Users deposit tokens into pools to enable trading, earning transaction fees and MMT rewards. Auto vaults optimize reinvestment automatically, compounding yield without manual work.
ve(3,3) Governance
Users lock MMT tokens to get veMMT, which grants voting rights on protocol upgrades, reward distribution, and fee parameters. Stakers earn platform fees and can direct emissions to specific pools.
Cross-Chain Infrastructure
Integrations with Wormhole and OKX Wallet enable asset movement between Sui, Ethereum, Solana, and other chains. Users can bridge assets and trade across networks from one platform.
Move Smart Contracts
Built natively on Sui, MMT uses Move programming language for parallel transaction processing, enhanced security, and fast execution speeds through Sui's programmable transaction blocks.
You can access the platform at app.mmt.finance/trade.
