fUSD v2 is a revolutionary stablecoin unique to $FTM. As a native L1 stablecoin, it enables users to pay transaction fees on-chain using stablecoins. This opens the door for numerous new products and ecosystem growth. This article, written by levy from the Equalizer team, explores how fUSD could integrate with ecosystem projects like Equalizer, unlocking the full potential of this catalyst.
A key feature of fUSD is that it can be minted using $wFTM and $sFTM. This is critically important because over 1.4 billion FTM (worth approximately $580 million) are already staked. This means up to $200 million worth of fUSD could be minted at a 300% collateralization ratio using these assets.
Considering that the current total value locked (TVL) in FTM is only $458 million, injecting $200 million in fUSD would represent a significant 43% increase. I firmly believe this will become a major catalyst for $FTM's DeFi ecosystem.
Moreover, this calculation does not even account for fUSD minting using wFTM or the potential price appreciation of $FTM. Assuming a $1 price per FTM, over $460 million worth of fUSD could potentially be minted.
Now, let’s discuss how $EQUAL can leverage this opportunity. The idea is simple: I strongly believe that $EQUAL and its vote-locking flywheel will continue absorbing TVL and become the leading DEX on $FTM.
As an ecosystem-centric platform, $EQUAL can capture nearly all the benefits generated from fUSD minting:
- fUSD used to buy project tokens?
$EQUAL facilitates trades, earns fees, and benefits from rising prices of ecosystem project tokens.
- fUSD used for liquidity mining?
Due to its highest liquidity mining yields, TVL will flow into $EQUAL. Projects might use vaults similar to Beefy Finance or Reaper Farm to route funds into $EQUAL.
- fUSD used in dApps? (Perpetuals, staking, etc.)
Equal will benefit from the growth of partnered projects (increased trading volume, etc.).
- fUSD used for lending?
Borrowers will effectively deploy funds into Project 1, 2, or 3. For example, they might leverage LP positions on Tarot Finance.
In nearly every scenario, I believe $EQUAL serves as a cornerstone of the ecosystem, leveraging $FTM's growth—especially the catalytic effect brought by fUSD v2—to drive its own economic flywheel.
