Review Echidna Finance ($ECD) – The Ultimate Yield Boosting Protocol For Platypus Finance

Echidna can draw capital from other blockchains to Avalanche by giving attractive yield farming options for stable assets, hence growing user count and on-chain TVL.

What is Echidna Finance ($ECD)?

Review Echidna Finance ($ECD) - The Ultimate Yield Boosting Protocol For Platypus Finance 9

Echidna Finance is the protocol that maximizes the yield on Platypus Finance. It aggregates PTP and permanently stakes it in Platypus to fund our vePTP treasury. Without owning PTP, everyone can utilize our treasury to optimize their stablecoin APRs on Platypus. The Echidna platform has three primary use cases:

  • As a stablecoin holder, whether or not you utilize Platypus, you want to create passive income from your stable assets.
  • You aim to maximize your stablecoin APRs as a Platypus liquidity provider (without holding PTP if possible)
  • You intend to unlock utility and generate additional passive revenue for your PTP as a PTP holder.

Outstanding Features

What is the project trying to achieve?

Echidna is dedicated to evolving with Platypus and its users. The team views Platypus as a critical public utility that will increase Avalanche’s user and on-chain TVL while also creating money for Platypus users. Because Echidna will serve as a catalyst for both processes, it must make judgments that maximize public value. In light of this conclusion, Echidna established the following guiding principles:

  • Decentralization: No private sale or allocation to any individual or organization will be. This arrangement engineers a fair starting point for all Platypus community members free of nepotism and mercenary influence.
  • Accessibility: Echidna will help new investors navigate stablecoin farming on Platypus by becoming a reliable source of information. Our communications will reflect this principle with practical content that is easily understandable. We will also localize our content into various languages to further our principle.
  • Community: Echidna will strive to ensure that the exchange of value between us transcends pure financial gain, including information, ideas, camaraderie, and much more.

What is the unique selling point?

Stablecoin Holders

Stablecoin holders can deposit your stablecoins into Platypus directly through Echidna’s Zap feature, which combines stablecoin staking on Platypus and subsequent LP token staking on Echidna into a single process so you can auto-stake your stablecoins conveniently.

Platypus Liquidity Providers

Platypus LPs can deposit your LP tokens into Echidna to maximize yield without holding any PTP. We remove all complications with capital allocation, rewards claiming, price volatility, and vePTP withdrawal penalties to provide you with a simple, streamlined process for maximizing your returns.

Rewards Distribution

Echidna distributes 80% of protocol revenue earned from LP tokens via boosted emissions to LP token/stablecoin depositors. For more information see fees.

How Do I Maximise my ROI on Echidna?

To maximize your returns from stablecoin farming on Echidna:

  • Deposit your LP tokens / stablecoins
  • Contribute PTP and stake ecdPTP
  • Lock ECD for veECD

Echidna for PTP stakers

Echidna creates fungible and tradable token derivatives in return for PTP contributions. PTP holders can deposit their PTP in our treasury and earn additional passive income through the native token, ECD, as well as a share of Echidna’s PTP earnings. Users will soon be able to monetize PTP’s highly valued voting power (through vePTP) via Echidna.

Stablecoin / LP Token Model

Through our vePTP treasury, users may stake their Platypus LP tokens on Echidna to increase their reward emissions. Additionally, developers designed the Zap function, which streamlines the process of staking stablecoins on Platypus and subsequent LP token staking on Echidna.
