What is Mars Protocol?

Mars Protocol consists of a money market, called Red Bank, and a generalized credit primitive called Rover. Mars Protocol utilizes a so-called hub and outpost topology, whereby its base, Mars Hub acts as a command center for numerous outposts. Each outpost consists of an instance of Red Bank and Rover and the first of many outposts will be the Osmosis chain.
