About Equilibrium

Equilibrium is a cross-chain money market and stablecoin protocol built as a Polkadot parachain. It enables borrowing synthetic assets, earning interest on deposits, and trading perpetuals — all within the Polkadot ecosystem with access to cross-chain assets via XCM. Equilibrium's synthetic asset system (EQD stablecoin) uses an overcollateralized model similar to MakerDAO but designed for the multi-chain Polkadot environment. The GENSHIRO token runs the Kusama (canary) version, while EQ powers the Polkadot mainnet. Equilibrium differentiates itself through portfolio margining — all deposited assets in an account act as cross-collateral, allowing traders to maximize capital efficiency across multiple positions simultaneously.

How to Swap EQ

Swapping Equilibrium (EQ) on SyntheticSwap requires no registration or KYC. EQ is a Polkadot ecosystem token, supported by Polkadot.js extension, Talisman, SubWallet, and Ledger. Open SyntheticSwap, select EQ as your source or destination asset, provide your receiving wallet address, and confirm the floating rate. After sending EQ to the deposit address, the destination asset is automatically delivered to your wallet once the transaction is confirmed.

How to Store EQ

Store EQ in the Polkadot.js extension, SubWallet, or any compatible Substrate wallet supporting Polkadot parachains.
