$ATMQ Utility

ATMQ is the native token in Atomiq’s ecosystem offering the following key utilities:
READ LITEPAPER
Native Bitcoin Interoperability
In Atomiq DEX v2, $ATMQ and other Mintlayer MLS-01 tokens will be directly swappable for native BTC. This feature eliminates intermediaries, enhances liquidity, and reduces counterparty risk, advancing Bitcoin-based DeFi applications.
Staking & Priority Access
Staking $ATMQ offers priority access and guaranteed allocation to launchpad token sales, improved DEX scores for reduced fees and priority ordering, and attractive APY% rewards. Staked tokens serve as insurance against unfulfilled requests and can be used to purchase new project tokens directly, providing immediate access to emerging ventures while enhancing holdings.
Strong Tokenomics
$ATMQ is designed with robust tokenomics for long-term value. Our token features a fixed supply to prevent inflation and a low initial market cap, positioning it for potential growth. Deflationary mechanisms, like token burning from transaction fees, gradually reduce circulating supply. This combination of scarcity and deflationary features aims to create a favorable environment for token holders and project sustainability.
Real World Asset Tokenization
Atomiq DEX will serve as the settlement layer for Mintlayer's RWA platform and allow direct swaps between $ATMQ and tokenized real-world assets. This integration bridges DeFi and traditional assets, expanding $ATMQ's utility and offering diverse opportunities in a secure, decentralized environment.

When is the TGE?

The $ATMQ token generation event (TGE) will be in Q1 of 2025. We have a Roadmap illustrated above where updates will be regularly communicated. Stay tuned to our socials and telegram community channel for exact dates & details revealing soon.

What are Atomic Swaps?

Atomic swaps represent a revolutionary method for conducting direct, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchanges without the need for intermediaries such as centralized exchanges or wrapped tokens. This technology relies on Hash Time Locked Contracts (HTLCs) to ensure that both parties either complete the trade successfully or the transaction is voided, eliminating the risk of one party defrauding the other.

While the underlying process may sound slightly complicated, all of this happens on the backend. The DEX's front-end UI will function like any other DEX, with users simply choosing which assets they want to swap securely.

Mintlayer has created the basic Atomic Swap system, while Atomiq DeFi is developing a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) for atomic swaps, which will enable you to swap native Bitcoin for stablecoins or any MLS-based token on the Mintlayer network. To compare, you can think of the relationship between Ethereum and Uniswap as the relationship between Mintlayer and Atomiq DeFi.

What is Mintlayer?

Mintlayer is a Bitcoin layer 2 sidechain that enables developers to build a decentralized financial ecosystem without straining the Bitcoin network. It unlocks Bitcoin's potential for Decentralized Finance, Atomic Swaps, Smart Contracts, NFTs, and dApps. Mintlayer's Atomic Swaps technology allows direct Bitcoin token interoperability without the need for centralized exchanges or wrapped tokens. This atomic swap technology forms the backbone of Atomiq DeFi's DEX.

Why are you building on Mintlayer?

We chose Mintlayer for its Bitcoin-inspired architecture that prioritizes security, simplicity, and reliability. Key features include:

  • Non-Turing complete smart contracts and UTXO model for enhanced security and easier audits
  • Robust architecture developed in Rust, ensuring speed and safety
  • Focus on Atomic Swaps, reducing risks associated with traditional token bridges
  • CertiK security audit with AA score (top 10% of audited projects)

Mintlayer's secure foundation allows Atomiq DeFi to unlock Bitcoin's full potential in DeFi while providing a user-friendly experience.

Where will I be able to purchase $ATMQ?

Initially, $ATMQ was acquired in limited allocation through our partner launchpads, De.FI Accelerator and Launchpool Labs. Now that our Seed Round concluded we will be launching our very own Atomiq LaunchPad for the $ATMQ Private Sale, and list on top centralized exchanges, where you will also be able to buy $ATMQ.

How much funding has Atomiq DeFi received?

Atomiq DeFi was initially awarded a $1.5 million Grant from the Mintlayer's Ecosystem Fund. Additionally, Atomiq secured Seed capital from a number of strategic VC's with the help of the lead investor, X21 Digital. That Seed round was conducted in parallel of allocations provided to De.Fi Accelerator and Launchpool Labs which had both successfully sold-out.

What makes Atomiq DeFi unique?

Atomiq DeFi is unique because it is the first Project to build a suite of dApps powered by Mintlayer's Atomic-Swap Technologies. These Atomic Swaps are distinctive in the web3 sphere because they allow direct Bitcoin use within dApps without the need for intermediaries, wrapped tokens, or centralized exchanges. While Atomiq DeFi allows you to use native BTC, almost all other leading projects either build on layer 1 or use layer 2 but implement DeFi through wrapped, pegged, or federated versions of BTC.
