Matrix Index
Matrix Index is a cryptocurrency index fund designed to track quality tokens in blockchain industry and DeFi finance. The index fund is weighted based on the market value of each token. There is a basket of token assets of the fund. The fund share can be subscribed and sold on MatrixETF platform. It can also be used to mint new fund share through a basket of tokens and redeem them.
Matrix index is the simplest way to participate in the DeFi finance, because users do not need to buy these DeFi tokens from exchanges. The index will be evaluated and adjusted once a month to weaken or eliminate the poorly performing tokens, add the weighted tokens with high quality, or add new DeFi tokens for balance, so as to reflect the overall trend of the cryptocurrency market as much as possible.
Meanwhile, by subscribing MDI product, users can greatly save the gas fee of Ethereum and other public chains, and only pay once to gain encrypted assets including multiple tokens.
Types of Matrix Index Funds
They include the following types of index:
- DeFI leading ETF fund: MDI, tracking tokens in DeFi.
- Public chain index fund: MCI, tracking public chain ecological development in cryptocurrency market.
- Solana ecological ETF fund: MSI, tracking hot projects and potential projects in Solana public chain ecology.
- Stable coins fund: to balance the exposure of various stable coins, the main goal is to act as the stable coin and object of value measurement in MatrixETF ecology.
- NFT fund products: track the crypto games and NFT.

MatrixETF Index Fund Standards
MatrixETF adopts the fundamental weighted method, which is weighted by 70% of the circulating market value and 30% of the fundamentals.
Circulation Market Value
In terms of circulation market value, the price and circulating supply of each token are obtained through CoinGecko and Coinmarketcap, and the circulation market value is determined by multiplying the price of each token by the circulating supply.
The following table is an example of the market value ratio of MDI funds:

Fundamentals Value
When considering the fundamentals, it will be analyzed from the economic model of the token, the development of the project, the security of the agreement, the transaction risk of the token, and the community foundation, these five standards will be used to screen the projects to be selected into the funds.
Economic Model of Token
- The token must have a detailed allocation model
- The release of initial circulation and supply of token is reasonable
- The token must have practical use and intrinsic value
- Whether the number and distribution of token holders are appropriate or not, there is no risk of forced manipulation
Development of the Project
- The project must be in the construction of useful agreements or products, not with the nature of Ponzi scheme, or entertainment gambling purposes.
- Whether the project has a clear roadmap and is implemented as planned.

Matrix Index Rebalance
According to the development of the cryptocurrency market and the operation status of the project party, Matrix Index will be maintained and adjusted on a monthly basis, including the weighted proportion of tokens, addition and deletion of new tokens, etc.
The process of Rebalance consists of two phases:
1.Confirmation:
This phase usually takes place in the fourth week of each month. At this phase, the details of the next reorganization will be discussed and determined, including:
- Whether to adjust circulating supply of funds
- Whether to adjust the token weighted proportion
- Whether to delete tokens or add new tokens
- Details of new tokens
2.Rebalance
The index and fund need to be adjusted according to the announcement after the end of the confirmation, in which the addition and deletion of related token and weighted proportion are completed in the first week of the next month.
