In the evolving landscape of blockchain and DeFi, scalability and interoperability are more than just trendy terms. They are crucial for unlocking potential and encouraging widespread adoption. We’re excited to announce the establishment of a separate liquidity hub for the Base chain, marking the beginning of a promising new chapter in our journey.

Why a Separate Liquidity Hub for Base?

The idea of expanding across multiple chains might seem appealing at first, but it’s vital to avoid fragmentation, which could hinder our growth and overall progress. By setting up a dedicated hub on the Base chain, we aim to prevent such fragmentation and unlock a host of new opportunities.

Here’s a deeper look into the rationale behind this initiative:

Seamless Growth: A separate liquidity hub ensures smooth integration and communication within our system, avoiding the issue of fragmentation. It’s like opening new doors while ensuring all rooms remain interconnected in a well-structured manner.

Tapping into New Markets: The dedicated hub serves to explore exciting new markets and accommodate new volumes, propelling our ecosystem to new heights.

Education: Paving the Way for Mass Adoption

Our journey began on the FTM chain with the launch of EQUAL, quickly forming a community and explaining the basics of DeFi. This mission remains unchanged. Having the chance to engage and educate new market entrants about blockchain and DeFi basics is not just an opportunity, it’s a responsibility that we are eager to uphold.

The collaboration between Base and our platform is not just a merger of technologies, but a partnership aimed at simplifying blockchain, promoting mainstream adoption, and moving the community forward into new areas. With a clear roadmap and a strong foundation in the form of a dedicated liquidity hub, our journey towards exploring uncharted territories has just become more exciting. The possibilities are endless, and we are just getting started!

Now for the Launch Sequence

Mark your calendars and gear up for a launch like no other!

Schedule:

  • Thursday, 5th of October, 00:00 am UTC: Fee set at 99.999999%.
  • Fee Dynamics: The fee will decrease gradually every second.
  • Thursday, 5th of October, 01:00 am UTC: Fee reaches 2%.

What Makes This Unique?

This launch mechanism is designed to infuse a sense of excitement, strategy, and fairness. Here’s why:

  1. Dynamic Fee Structure: The tapering fee setup not only makes the launch event thrilling but also ensures that participants can choose their moment of entry based on their comfort level and specialized strategies!
  2. Level Playing Field: With the design in place, every participant, whether seasoned or new, has an equal chance to engage without any undue advantage. It’s The Equalizer, afterall!
  3. Dynamic Price Discovery and Fair Distribution: The trading fees start high, gradually adjusting through a decay curve counterbalanced by buying pressure, ensuring true price regulation. This approach bypasses traditional launch pitfalls, eliminating the advantage of front-runners and bots. Everyone, from individual investors to whales, has an equal opportunity, ensuring a wide and fair distribution.
  4. Participation and Capital Efficiency: Our launch process allows participants to tweak their buy-ins into multiple TWAP’d interactions which enables SCALE’s price find a fair launch value based on these multiple organic, open-market forces while providing an opportunity for our patrons to Scale-In with ease!
  5. Fee Allocation: All collected fees are directed to the gauge as incentives. These will then be used as voting rewards for the upcoming EPOCH.
  6. Boost in Buy Pressure: Given the enticing mechanics, we anticipate a surge in buy pressure. This, in turn, signifies the potential capture of a significant amount of ETH, which would directly benefit our veSCALE holders
  7. Real-Time Fee Monitoring: Stay informed and strategize your entry! We’ll have a dedicated UI in place for you to monitor the fees in real-time during the launch phase of the pool. This will provide transparency and help you make informed decisions. Check it out at: https://ftm.guru/equalizer/analytics/scale-pools/

Letting the Market Take the Lead

We’re excited to unveil the specifics of our launch liquidity pool, which has been designed with precision and a vision for a balanced market entry.

Pool Dynamics

  • Initial Liquidity Provision: The pool will be kickstarted with a liquidity of $40k.
  • Composition: This liquidity will be divided into 1,000,000 SCALE tokens and $20K worth of ETH, thereby setting the initial price of SCALE at $0.02. This translates to a circulating market cap of just $20k.

Strategy and Vision

Our intention behind this pool composition and the fee structure is designed to give us the best possible launch

  1. Fairness First: The dynamic fee structure aims to level the playing field, ensuring fairness, and rewarding those who believe in our vision and step in early.
  2. A Market-Driven Approach: With an FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) of $200k at the time of launch, we’re providing a context of our commitment to let the market naturally find its equilibrium. This humble FDV against the initial liquidity provision showcases our belief in the organic growth and evolution of the market we are creating.

In a nutshell, our launch strategy is anchored in transparency, fairness, and the conviction that the market will find its path.

Finally, Introducing Dynamic Emission Flows — A Game-Changer for Partners

With the launch of veSCALE on Base, our Equalizer has evolved into its Ⅲrd generation. Equalizer’s v3 Core brings in loads of new features which we will unveil over the coming epochs, including breakthroughs in Financial NFT as works of Art. Today, we’d like to showcase the first of its kind Feature, pioneered by Equalizer

A step into our cutting-edge system that naturally embraces adjustable emission flows, blending EQUAL and veEQUAL. This innovation not only elevates our platform’s capabilities but also offers an unmatched level of flexibility. Partners seeking to introduce a fresh dimension to their gauges will find this feature an attractive addition, opening up a realm of possibilities and integration opportunities, as showcased by Equity’s success as Fantom’s biggest DEX.

Join us on this exciting journey as we SCALE ETH and lead the way into the next era of decentralized finance. Your support and engagement drive our continuous strive for innovation and building a community that thrives on learning, growing, and pushing boundaries.
