Part 3. Project Analysis

Contango

• Contango is a new type of decentralized exchange that offers future contracts as well as a fixed rate market.
• Contango does not use either the AMM mechanism or the order book model. It innovates a market-making mechanism that enables the exchange of tokens through a fixed-rate market by limiting the time to cash.
• Contango is not in long-term operation and still needs to be tested in practice; this means that early participants need to take on liquidity risk, market risk and smart contract risk.
