2023-04-20 17:37:51 Fantom Community Spotlight: levy

This week read about levy's crypto journey’s on a sketchy Second Life marketplace, their belief in DeFi overturning traditional finance (and DeFi's biggest challenge), and their work on (Equal) =DAO on Fantom.

"Most projects built in DeFi exist to serve existing DeFi. Real-world use cases must be developed; tokenizing real-world assets, payment rails, etc. Once assets are on-chain, then all the DeFi infra can be utilized.

The beautiful thing about crypto is it’s entirely permissionless.

That means anyone can join a project and help out.

When you start putting value out there, you find other people who want to build with you. Opportunities will start coming to you if you are creating value."

2023-04-13 18:54:51 Fantom Ecosystem Spotlight: Equalizer

Equalizer is a Solidly-modelled DEX incentivizing liquidity with their own token along with a vote escrow liquidity driver. In this spotlight, we will dive into their approach to reward both liquidity providers and token holders, and their reasons for deploying on Fantom.

Per the vote escrow model, token holders actively choose the pools they think will get them the most fees. Fees are generated every time a trade is completed on Equalizer. These fees are given to the veEQUAL holders who voted for the pool from which the fee originates!

"Fantom was the home of the original primitive created by Andre Cronje. It was a logical choice as Equalizer is a complex DEFI protocol that requires lots of transactions and tasks to be completed. Fantom is a smooth network that runs very efficiently.

Andre had the vision to revolutionize the traditional UNI v2 DEX and turn it into a flywheel. The principles are you add utility to your token and incentivize the liquidity with this token. Token holders are governance holders but also the beneficiary of the fees."
