Introduction

The MPS token is the tokenized share of our company, with one token representing an actual share of Mt Pelerin Group SA. 10 million MPS tokens were issued in 2018, which represent 100% of our shares.

5% of them (500,000 MPS) were sold in our 2018 token sale to raise funds. The 5% are the only MPS tokens that can be freely transferred and exchanged, while the other 95% have remained locked since then.

We haven't sold any MPS tokens ourselves since 2018, which is why the only way to buy them today is through decentralized exchanges (DEX), where some token holders sell their own MPS.

In this tutorial, we guide you through the process of buying MPS tokens on one of those DEX. The same process apply to selling MPS tokens on those same DEX.

You will find more information about the MPS on our shareholders page.

FAQ

How many MPS do I need to become shareholder?

You only need 1 MPS to become shareholder. Please note that to activate your shareholder rights, you will need to verify your identity in our mobile app or on our web widget.

Why is the MPS price different between Ethereum and Gnosis Chain?

Decentralized exchanges work with pools, where users provide liquidity by depositing in a pool tokens for a given exchange pairs. The price of the pool is determined by a simple supply/demand equation: when more people buy the price goes up, when more people sell the price goes down.

Since the Ethereum and Gnosis Chain pools are different and independent from each other, the price can be different between both.

No, we don't sell MPS tokens ourselves.

Why does the MPS price go down?
