๐ LSDfi, Yield Booster & RWA ๐
$PENDLE has been one of the biggest gainers this year in DeFi
And one of the most innovative protocol.
+ It is now setting foot in RWA.
There is an undervalued project building on top of Pendle, that deserves your attention!

โข LSDfi has immense potential to unleash the power of staked assets, making it a key driver for ETH and PoS Assets.
โข LSDfi provides LSD holders with additional yields through innovative designs such as AMM yield, lending yield, and bribery yield.
โข Equilibria is building a comprehensive yield market for LSD assets, which will attract more users to new LSD assets
Introducing @Equilibriafi, a Yield Boosting Protocol created and optimized for @pendle_fi.
It utilizes the veToken/boosted yield approach implemented by Pendle Finance, offering LPs an enhanced yield and providing additional rewards to $PENDLE token holders.
1๏ธโฃ Introduction
Before diving into Equilibria, we must talk a bit about Pendle.
@pendle_fi is a yield management platform that allows for the tokenization of yield generated from various assets through fixed-rate lending market.
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ ๐ง๐;๐๐ฅ
Pendle splits the yield from yield-bearing assets into two components:
โข Principal Token (PT)
โข Yield Token (YT)
This allows users to buy discounted tokens and speculate on yield
But to offer this it needs users to deposit liquidity...
As a yield derivative protocol, Pendle is bringing the TradFi interest derivative market (worth over $400T in notional value) into DeFi.
By creating a yield market in DeFi, Pendle unlocks the full potential of yield, enabling users to execute advanced yield strategies โ
With Pendle Earn, they are also providing CEX-like products in DeFi.
Indeed, they are offering low risk fixed stable yields of up to 5.17%, on-chain, with transparent strategies.
And more strategies on Arbitrum.
Pendle has also recently set foot in the RWA Market.
๐๐พ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ
Equilibriaโs vision is to drive innovation in the field.
The goal is not to simply create a Layer on top of Pendle:
โ To Introduce several novel features, such as the YT market for vlEQB, limit orders for the PT/YT trading, and cross-chain implementation.
Led by a team of DeFi OGs with years of experience in the industry, Equilibria is customized and optimized for Pendle Finance.
The platform is designed for $PENDLE holders and liquidity providers, offering an easy-to-use platform to maximize profits.
The IDO has been sold out.
โข 7.5M $EQB Sold โ $1.5M Collected
โข 50% of the IDO supply has been released at launch already.
โข 50% released over 6 months.
It's been 3 months already:
โข Around 1.875M $EQB yet to be unlocked
-> $187k over 3 months at current price.
There are 3 tokens in the Equilibria Ecosystem:
โพ EQB
โพ vlEQB
โพ xEQB
โพ EQB is Equilibria's governance token, and users have the following options:
โข Lock it as vlEQB to earn multiple benefits
โข Provide liquidity in DEX and earn LP rewards
โข Trade it through DEX
โพ vlEQB is the locked version of EQB:
๐ Users can lock EQB for different weeks, resulting in varying amounts of vlEQB
๐ The more vlEQB a user holds, the stronger their voting power becomes
๐ช Increased voting power leads to higher rewards for locking, voting and bribe income
โพ xEQB is the escrowed version of EQB:
โข Users have the option to redeem xEQB back to EQB, with the conversion ratio determined by the duration of the redemption period.
โข Or, users can choose to lock xEQB into vlEQB and enjoy multiple benefits as vlEQB holders!
3๏ธโฃ Mechanisms
Equilibria offers a wide range of ways to earn additional yield for the following users:
โข Pendle Liquidity Providers
โข ePENDLE Stakers
โข $EQB Lockers
๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐
Even without owning any $PENDLE tokens, LPs who provide liquidity to Pendle through Equilibria โ Earn additional rewards in both $vePENDLE and $EQB.
Equilibria owns lots of $vePENDLE and they boost LPs rewards.
๐ฒ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐
$PENDLE holders have the option to convert their tokens into $ePENDLE and then stake them, enabling them to earn rewards in both $PENDLE and $EQB.
Rewards paid out in $PENDLE will be a % of Equilibria's revenue share
The $PENDLE tokens used to stake $ePENDLE will accrue maximal $vePENDLE, boosting the yield on Pendle.
That's how the Equilibria Flywheel gets activated.
๐๐ค๐ ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐
By locking up $EQB, users can earn a share of the protocol revenue in the form of $ePENDLE and extra rewards.
Currently if users want to deposit $PENDLE they can do so via
@pendle_fi to get boosted rewards.
With Equilibria, users earn boosted rewards in both $PENDLE and $EQB maximizing the potential return while also benefiting Pendle!

The objective is to establish $ePENDLE as a valuable long-term liquid wrapper, similar to $cvxCRV on Convex.
Two things are therefore crucial:
โข The overall PENDLE/ePENDLE Liquidity
โข The Stability of the Peg
๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐๐/๐ฒ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐
Equilibria Leverages Maverick's Features:
โ Multiple AMM strategies, concentrating liquidity within core trading ranges, thereby enhancing trading and capital efficiency.
โ Boosted positions to Incentivize liquidity provision.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ด
โพ Smart Converter
โข Peg falls below a threshold โ The Smart Converter will automatically route the best conversion ratio by comparing the threshold with the current peg.
โ Increase in the buying pressure for ePENDLE.
โพ Buy Back
5% of the total protocol revenue earned by Equilibria will be used to:
โ Buy ePENDLE from the Secondary Market when ePENDLE/PENDLE ratio is lower than 0.85.
โ Directly purchase PENDLE which then will be converted into ePENDLE if the ratio remains above 0.85.
๐ The ePENDLE acquired from the market or converted will be distributed as rewards to vlEQB holders.
๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐บ๐
Equilibria has implemented several deflationary mechanisms to reduce the overall token supply.
๐น Buyback & Burn:
In the future, certain proportion of protocol fees will be allocated for buyback, followed by token burning.
๐น $xEQB/$EQB Burn:
During the redemption of $xEQB, if the redeemed amount of $EQB is not the full amount, the remaining $EQB will be burned.
For example, if 100 $xEQB is redeemed after 2 weeks, only 50 $EQB will be received, and the remaining 50 $EQB will be burned.
Deflation models are also applied in various ways:
โข Liquidity Mining - rewards emitted weekly with 1.1% deflation rate applied
โข $PENDLE LP Incentives - deflation of 5% applied for every 1M $EQB minted
4๏ธโฃ Roadmap
๐น Limit order for YT/PT trading
Limit order is a common feature in traditional trading that allows traders to set a predetermined price at which they want to buy or sell.
Equilibria will make it easier for users to trade YT and PT on Pendle.
๐น $EQB Yield Market
After locking $EQB on Equilibria โ Users will receive a fixed yield from the protocol fee and bribe income.
This creates a new yield market for $EQB on Pendle, attracting more trading volume and TVL to the platform.
๐น $xEQB Developments
Building more use cases around $xEQB, let $xEQB as the first utility token of LSDfi.
Equilibria will also implement multichain governance voting.
5๏ธโฃ Edge
โช๏ธ Equilibria currently has accumulated around 7.4M $PENDLE token which will be locked for 7.5M $vePENDLE โ approx. 26% voting power on Pendle Finance.
โช๏ธ TVL 42M+
โช๏ธ Partnership with Pendle, Frax, GMX & more
โช๏ธ Bribe Rewards with 3 partners: StaFi, Swell & Stader
โช๏ธ RWA Narrative
โช๏ธ LSDfi & Pendle Narratives
โช๏ธ 2 Audits: PeckShield & WatchPug
โช๏ธ @OuroborosCap8 Advisors (advisors for other great projects like @RDNTCapital & @goodentrylabs ๐)
โช๏ธ Deflation Model: Burned more than 120k $EQB
6๏ธโฃ Alpha
โช๏ธ Chart bottomed out
โช๏ธ Equilibria's Mcap is just a fraction of Pendle's Mcap (~130x smaller)
โช๏ธ Mcap/TVL Ratio is ~0.035 โ Considering this indicator, $EQB is highly undervalued
โช๏ธ Especially since ~36.5% of the current supply is locked

โช๏ธ Support from Pendle Team
โช๏ธ 1st Gov Proposal: $ePENDLE Buyback Program โ Last chance to buy $ePENDLE at a discount?
โช๏ธ In the future Equilibria will collaborate with more LSDfi protocols to acquire more yield source for LSD assets
7๏ธโฃ TL;DR
8๏ธโฃ Conclusion
This thread was made in collaboration with @Equilibriafi.
You know when I put my threadoooor hat on instead of my curatoooor hat, it's to talk about something that can benefit you.
Well, here I think $EQB is undervalued & a long-term project.
As always it's NFA.
