## About

### What it is

Mars Protocol is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Mars was founded by Terraform Labs and launched in 2023.

### Who uses it

### How it works

Validators process transactions and outpost liquidity providers supply funds to DeFi applications. Both receive fees from users (supply-side fees).
