Équilibre has advanced significantly in decentralized finance, specifically within the automatic market maker (AMM) sector. Designed to boost liquidity and lower swapping fees, the protocol has earned the "Pair Extraordinaire" distinction on multiple occasions, highlighting its reliability in supporting trading pairs.
The development team has concentrated on refining the platform for security and ease of use, implementing major upgrades over Velodrome v1. These changes include adjustments to the internal bribes contract to stop double claiming of trading fees in the same epoch and to fix token decimal discrepancies during reward claims. The user interface (UI) has also been simplified for better interaction.
Technical progress includes API and UX optimizations that remove errors between volatility and stability when forming a liquidity pool (LP), separate veNFT from liquidity, and make releasing veNFTs easier. The protocol also accommodates tax tokens via routing optimization, which lowers the learning curve for newcomers.
The ecosystem operates with two tokens: a utility token and a governance token structured as a non-fungible token (NFT). These assets manage utility and governance, enabling users to stake in LPs for emissions, lock tokens for governance rights, vote on gauges, and control emission distribution. Rewards consist of protocol emissions, a rebase mechanism to protect voting power from dilution, bribes for extra incentives, and trading fees from swaps. The platform promotes active user participation and governance, focusing on security, user experience, and community-led management.
