Equilibrium

Equilibrium is a comprehensive DeFi (Decentralized Finance) platform that functions on the Polkadot network. It is distinguished by its all-in-one DeFi hub status, providing users with a suite of services including lending, borrowing, and trading within a single interface. The platform is cross-chain ready, allowing for interactions across different blockchain networks, and is designed to offer high leverage while maintaining resilience. A notable feature of Equilibrium is its use of collateral baskets for loans, which supports a minimum Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio as low as 105%, indicating a more accessible lending environment compared to other platforms.

EQUIL, the native utility token of Equilibrium, serves multiple purposes within its ecosystem. It is primarily used for community governance, allowing token holders to participate in system changes and decision-making processes. EQUIL tokens are also used to pay for transaction fees on the platform, as well as for product fees, and they provide liquidity through Equilibrium's liquidity pools. Additionally, EQUIL token holders can engage in staking opportunities to receive rewards, contributing to the governance and security of the platform. Equilibrium's distribution mechanics highlight a strategic approach to token allocation, aiming to ensure broad public distribution and liquidity in the market.

**The official Equilibrium ticker is “EQ” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “EQUIL” is for CryptoCompare.com only.*
