What is Overlay?

The platform enables users to engage with a cryptocurrency that allows them to long or short these data streams. Overlay dynamically mints or burns its currency to compensate traders for their profits or losses, thereby governing the system. This mechanism ensures that successful traders influence the protocol's trajectory, fostering a dynamic and responsive trading environment within the DeFi ecosystem.
