Equalizer DEX Logo

Equalizer DEX, built on Fantom, is a decentralised trading platform that leverages liquidity pools to enable efficient trading. Its governance token, $EQUAL, allows users to vote on liquidity pair emissions and earn rewards. The platform's structure builds upon ideas from Andre Cronje's Solidly model but with adjustments for improved governance and sustainability.

Equalizer DEX is a decentralised exchange (DEX) operating on the Fantom blockchain. It was launched in November 2022 and is based on the Solidly exchange model, originally developed by Andre Cronje. Equalizer aims to create a decentralised platform for trading digital assets using an automated market maker (AMM) structure, which relies on liquidity pools for efficient trade execution with reduced price slippage. The platform's design includes adjustments to the fee structure and emissions mechanisms compared to its predecessor.

Equalizer DEX utilises $EQUAL, its native governance token, within a system designed to support various decentralised finance (DeFi) activities:

  • Liquidity Provision: Users can supply liquidity to token pairs, earning rewards from both trading fees and token emissions.
  • Governance Participation: Holders of $EQUAL can lock their tokens into veEQUAL, a vote-escrowed token system, to participate in governance decisions. These decisions include voting on which liquidity pools receive token emissions, which impacts the rewards distributed to liquidity providers.
  • Rewards: In addition to fee rewards, $veEQUAL holders may receive bribes—extra incentives provided by projects looking to gain votes for their liquidity pools.

This system seeks to encourage liquidity providers while maintaining a steady flow of rewards through controlled emissions.
