Introducing Equilibria
As a liquid locker for Pendle, Equilibria enables you to enjoy boosted Pendle rewards without needing to hold any vePENDLE.
Pendle pools have an APR range, and by depositing in Equilibria, you can get the higher end of that range. In addition, Equilibria also offers their own incentives that make their pools very attractive.

However, if you were just to deposit in Pendle, you would be receiving the regular yield which is currently sitting at around 4%. Additionally, LPing in Equilibria also gets you extra rewards in the form of Equilibria’s own platform tokens, EQB and xEQB.
