# HIP-17: Add DOT, AVAX, and MATIC to Horizon Futures
**Type:** Horizon Improvement Proposal
**Date:** July 16th, 2024
**Status:** Completed
#### Summary
This HIP proposes to add Polkadot (DOT), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) to the Horizon Futures platform to increase the options available to traders and boost trading volume. By introducing these assets to the Futures market, we aim to enhance the platform's appeal and provide traders with more opportunities to diversify their trading strategies.
#### Specification
Add Polkadot (DOT), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) markets on Horizon Futures and set the system parameters as below:
#### Motivation
Following the successful listing of seven markets on Horizon Futures, this proposal aims at further expanding the range of assets available on Horizon Futures. By offering a diverse set of markets, we aim to attract more traders to the platform, increase trading activity, and enhance overall market liquidity.
In this batch of listings, more L1 coins will be added to the current available options. Given that Polkadot (DOT), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (MATIC) are large market cap assets in the ecosystem with a solid track record, they are the optimal choice for addition as the next Futures assets based on trader interest.
#### Considerations
* Global Debt Pool Impact: Adding new assets to Horizon Futures will introduce increased volatility and potentially impact the global debt pool. Therefore, assets should be added gradually to ensure the platform's stability and manage risk effectively.
#### Post-Implementation Evaluation
Upon the addition of new assets to Horizon Futures, an evaluation will be conducted to assess the market's performance and impact. Key metrics such as trading volume, user activity, and market stability will be analyzed to inform future decisions and strategy adjustments. The aim is to continue to add more markets to Horizon Futures while maintaining an active risk management strategy.
