About UMA

UMA (Universal Market Access) is a decentralized financial contracts platform designed to enable the creation of synthetic assets and "priceless" financial contracts. The UMA token serves as the native governance and utility asset for the protocol, powering its Data Verification Mechanism (DVM) and Optimistic Oracle. Token holders participate in community governance by voting on system parameters and upgrades, and they resolve contract disputes by fulfilling price requests through the DVM. The protocol aims to minimize on-chain oracle usage to improve security and scalability within the decentralized finance ecosystem.
