Equalizer Exchange

Equalizer is a decentralized perpetual exchange built primarily for the Fantom blockchain, inspired by Andre Cronje's initial perpetual DEX concept. It adapts the Solidly perpetual model with modifications to fee structures and token emissions to create a sustainable trading environment. The platform aims to balance incentives between liquidity providers and token holders, ensuring that liquidity remains sufficient to support low slippage trades. This approach addresses common issues in decentralized exchanges where low fees fail to attract enough liquidity, resulting in high slippage and poor trading experiences.

The core innovation of Equalizer lies in its fee and emission model, which rewards liquidity providers with a valuable token that generates income similar to Curve's model. Unlike traditional DEXs that charge minimal fees (e.g., 0.01%), Equalizer maintains a fee structure that supports liquidity depth and reduces slippage, improving trade execution quality. This mechanism helps stabilize the native token price and incentivizes long-term holding and locking of tokens.

Developers and DeFi teams can integrate with Equalizer through its documented smart contracts and APIs, enabling them to list tokens, participate in liquidity pools, and leverage gauge voting and bribe mechanisms. The platform also supports bot trading and offers detailed documentation for onboarding. Equalizer’s design targets DeFi developers and infrastructure teams looking for a sustainable, low-slippage perpetual trading solution on Fantom. Getting started involves reviewing the comprehensive docs, connecting wallets, and interacting with liquidity pools and governance features.
