Token Description & Project Background

Euler Finance is a peer-to-peer protocol that consists of a set of smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. Euler enables permissionless listing enabling token holders to dictate which assets are listed on the protocol. The protocol relies on Uniswap v3 as a core dependency and requires that any asset listed in a lending market must have a WETH pair on Uniswap.

To combat the risks inherent in allowing virtually any asset to be borrowed from its decentralized coffers, Euler has introduced a series of “risk-based” asset-tiers to protect both the protocol and its users. The first of these tiers is an“isolation tier” which includes assets with relatively low liquidity. These tokens can only be borrowed in isolation and cannot be used as collateral to secure another loan.

Next are “cross-tier” assets which also lack the ability to be posted as collateral but can be borrowed alongside other tokens. Lastly, Euler’s “collateral tier” includes ERC-20 assets with relatively deep and liquid markets. Unlike cross- and isolation-tier assets, these tokens can be used to collateralize loan balances and can be borrowed freely without restrictions.

Euler utilizes so-called “reactive interest rates,” or those which dynamically adapt to the underlying market conditions of each asset listed on the protocol, documentation said.

This process autonomously dictates borrowing costs across the platform and supposedly results in a high degree of capital efficiency.

EUL is an ERC-20 that acts as the native governance token; it also distributes rewards to users engaging with the protocol through lending and borrowing. 

EUL was never sold publicly; In June 2022, 1% of the token was airdropped to users who had been engaging with the network. 

Euler Finance was founded by Michael Bentley (CEO), Jack Leon Prior (Blockchain Dev), Brandon Neal (COO) & Doug Hoyte (Full-stack). Their protocol’s mainnet officially launched in December of 2021.
