Float Capital is a next generation synthetic asset protocol. Minting synthetic assets is finally as simple as swapping tokens. No overcollateralization, and hence no liquidations.What is the vision:To provide the easiest, simplest and safest way for users to get exposure to any asset / instrument / index / outcome.What makes us different?Exposure to the underlying synthetic asset can 'float'. The protocol provides strong economic incentives, through algorithmic adjustments based on market demand and supply of positions, to ensure the synthetic asset closely tracks the value of the underlying asset. Some parallels can be drawn between how algorithmic stable coins incentivize a price target, and how our synthetic assets incentivize an exposure target to the underlying asset class. Allowing synthetic asset exposure to 'float' allows the liquidity and universe of synthetic assets to radically scale without the typical constraints of overcollateralization.
