Equalizer Scale is roaring loud in the Base jungle with its horde of new features! This renewed focus comes after an initial launch last summer, where we laid the foundations of Equalizer on Base while concentrating on expanding our core offerings and furthering our grip and dominance on Fantom (FTM).

As the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on FTM, Equalizer’s success has been nothing short of remarkable. By leveraging our experience and efforts on FTM, Equalizer is ready to take its operations on Base to the next level.

Renewed Focus on Base

RetroPGF Round 3 Grant

RetroPGF Round 3 Grant: Equalizer’s initial launch on Base during the first run of OnChain Summer in 2023 was a phenomenal experience. The team managed to secure more than 50,903 $OP tokens in grants thanks to Equalizer’s innovative model that focuses on indulging retail users at its core. This sprawling user base helped Equalizer outpace several protocols.

This achievement highlighted the untapped potential on Base, prompting a strategic shift to enhance our presence and impact.

These grants have largely been kept intact to ensure our strength and longevity, being used for liquidity, marketing, operational costs, business development, and rewards.

Improving the UI/UX experience

Equalizer has announced our new & improved V5 Infrastructure, which is now live on both Base and FTM! The Equalizer team works tirelessly to improve your experience.

For Base, however, this is an upgrade from V3 -> V5, bringing Base users up to speed with features and updates previously lacking, thus making Scale V5 the fastest, most user-friendly ve(3,3) experience available on Base and beyond!

Achievements on FTM & Base

On FTM, Equalizer has established itself as the leading DEX with the most liquid token and full support from the FTM/Sonic Foundation. On Base, we have also achieved several notable milestones, alongside our success on FTM, including:

  • 7.57M Annual Revenue Realized

Community Guidelines

Equalizer prides itself on maintaining fair and transparent guidelines, which are designed to have tokens deploy on Equalizer to utilize our platform for bootstrapping liquidity & expanding community. These guidelines are public and designed to foster a healthy ecosystem and include:

  • Avoid gauges for pairs with two limited-exit-liquidity tokens but promote such pairs for their Liquidity Fees Yields
  • Do not bribe to cause more than 3–4% price impact.
  • Protocols, or even users or groups interested in contributing to a specific pool, have the option to offer incentives when they identify favorable. Equalizer does not mandate these incentives; instead, it supports protocols in choosing to do so only when they determine that this approach aligns with their strategic goals.
  • Protocols, or even users or groups interested in contributing to a specific pool can choose to offer incentives when they see favorable returns (greater than 1x) or want to build their vesCALE for increased voting power. Unlike some platforms with opaque and frequently changing guidelines, Equalizer promotes transparency and empowers protocols to offer incentives only when it aligns with their strategic objectives and yields profitable outcomes
