# Overview

MUX is a protocol suite that offers the 1st decentralized perpetual trading aggregator and the P2Multi-Pool model; it provides traders with deep aggregated liquidity, optimized trading cost, up to 100x leverage, diverse market options and unique aggregator features like smart position routing, aggregated position, leverage boosting and liquidation price optimization.

The MUX Perpetual Aggregator has integrated with leading perps liquidity sources like MUX V3 Trading Protocol, MUX V1 Trading Protocol, MUX V1 Degen Protocol, GMX V1, GMX V2, gTrade and will continue to integrate with more protocols.

**Key components in the MUX Protocol Suite:**

* MUX Perpetual Aggregator - A decentralized sub-protocol in the MUX protocol suite that automatically selects the most suitable liquidity route and minimizes the composite cost for traders while meeting the needs of opening positions. The aggregator can also supply additional margins for traders to optimize liquidation prices and raise the leverage to 100x on aggregated underlying protocols.
* MUX V3 Trading Protocol - A decentralized perpetual trading protocol in the MUX protocol suite that offers 0% price impact trading, up to 100x leverage, cross & isolated margin modes, no counterparty risks and a multi-pool setup that allows LPs to supply liquidity with highly customizable risk exposure options. Traders will trade against the MUX V3 elemental pools (MEP) through the MUX P2Multi-Pool model.
* MUX V1 Trading Protocol - A decentralized perpetual trading protocol MUX protocol suite that offers 0% price impact trading, up to 100x leverage, no counterparty risks for traders and an optimized on-chain trading experience. Traders will trade against the MUX V1 native pool (MUXLP) on the MUX V1 Trading Protocol.
* MUX V1 Degen Protocol - A decentralized perpetual trading protocol MUX protocol suite designed based on the MUX V1 trading protocol but tailored for enhancing long-tail assets trading experiences. Traders will trade against the MUX DegenLP pool on the MUX V1 Degen Protocol.

The MUX protocol suite will expand as the dev contributors continuously develop new features and integrations to meet traders' needs.
