Learn more about these new tokens below:
Cryptex Finance (CTX)
CTX is an ERC-20 utility and governance token with various use cases within the Cryptex protocol. CTX token holders can vote on upgrades and management of the Cryptex treasury as well as create proposals and vote on said proposals, such as continued incentives for product development and other solutions to advance the Cryptex decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Cryptex Finance is an Ethereum-based protocol that lets investors, traders, funds, and DeFi users get exposure to the total crypto market capitalization. Through smart-contract implementations, the protocol leverages over-collateralization schemes and blockchain oracles to create a synthetic asset called TCAP that tracks the market cap of cryptocurrencies and tokens listed on the largest crypto data providers in the world. Some of these data providers include Chainlink, Coinmarketcap, Nomics, Coin Paprika, and Coin Lore. CTX tokens can also be used to compensate for black swan events that may leave TCAP vaults under-collateralized. You can see the CTX price and more information by following the link.
Total Crypto Market Cap
TCAP is an ERC-20 synthetic token created by Cryptex Finance. The TCAP tokenization process starts with querying the median total market capitalization value from oracles and dividing it by 10 billion. For example, if the total market cap of the crypto market is $2 trillion, the unit price of TCAP will be $200.

Some of these data providers include Chainlink, Coinmarketcap, Nomics, Coin Paprika, and Coin Lore. The sole purpose of this token is to mimic the performance of the total crypto market capitalization. TCAP holders cannot govern the Cryptex protocol; that role is undertaken by Cryptex’s native token CTX. You can see the TCAP price and more information by following the link.
