Achievements:
Successfully launched DeFi products in EOS and Polkadot ecosystems.
Unlike Ethereum and EVM based-chains, Polkadot and EOS exhibit lower adoption figures, absence / inability to attract outside liquidity, and generally subdued interest.
Yet the EOSDT was the biggest stablecoin in EOS with > 20M collateral in EOS/ETH/BTC and > 1000 active positions. Automated liquidation engine, low collateral requirements, and multiple collateral utilization with pos staking.
Equilibrium stands out as a money market + stablecoin + dex parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem with > 6000 active token holders and a fully functioning product, portfolio-backed loans, market-driven interest rate mechanics, and cross-chain compatibility across polka and beyond.
