What is MahaDAO?
MahaDAO is a community-focused decentralized organization launching the world’s first value coin, ARTH, dedicated to solving inflation problems and bringing stability to the economy.
The Protocol employs a two-token system. The first being, ARTH a new type of currency designed to not be pegged to government-owned currencies (like US Dollar, Euro, or Chinese Yuan), but still remain relatively stable (unlike Gold and Bitcoin). Without being influenced by government-owned currencies, ARTH is backed by GMU(Global measurement Unit) and the Second token is governance token MAHA.
ARTH is a type of currency that is designed not to be pegged to government-owned currencies (like the US Dollar, Euro, or Chinese Yuan), but still remain relatively stable (unlike Gold and Bitcoin). Without being influenced by government-owned currencies, ARTH will be immune to inflation. Through stability, ARTH also becomes a superior choice of money for means of trade. This is unlike Gold or Bitcoin, which are used more as a store of value rather than a medium of exchange. GMU backs ARTH.
Product ARTH is a platform to scale usability where people can take interest-free loans with leveraged positions, redeem, farm LP tokens and earn rewards, Analyse the whole protocol.
Overview
Since the team launched the first version of ARTH in January 2021 the team tried and tested different types of models to build a stable value coin until June 2021, whether it is a fully collateral-backed model, elastic supply model, Seigniorage Share model, or partial collateral model. The team tested all and finally got stability. It was foundation after which we can scale it through different products. here I remember a line by Paul Graham “In order to scale, you have to first do things that don’t scale at all”. This article will explain my experiences and journey of building a platform to scale the ARTH.

Product Vision
After getting stability, the core strategy was to build a platform that can scale the ARTH ecosystem for larger adoption. That’s where the ARTH Loan came into the picture. A product like this had always been a part of MahaDAO’s long-term plan. A product where users can take the most advantage through value coin without worrying about volatility so building ARTH Loan from which users can take a loan with zero interest and generate ARTH with leveraged position would be the right and perfect opportunity to grow the market cap and users.
