How to buy MAI (MIMATIC)

How to buy and use MAI (MIMATIC)

MAI (MIMATIC) is an algorithmic stablecoin. It is collateralized with Matic tokens. The protocol is open-source and non-custodial. Users can mint MAI by locking up Matic tokens as collateral through smart contracts. This process allows users to extract value from their assets without a central authority. The system is built on the Polygon blockchain to take advantage of lower transaction fees.

Custody, depeg, and issuer risks

The algorithmic design of MAI means its value is tied to its collateralization with Matic tokens. This is a different risk profile than stablecoins backed by fiat reserves. Users should verify contract addresses via official sources to avoid lookalike tokens. Exchange features and KYC requirements vary by country.

Separate from the stablecoin, news reports mention Microsoft is testing a bidirectional voice model called MAI-Realtime. This is an AI project and is not related to the MIMATIC protocol.
