One billion, and that is all
The whole supply exists already. No schedule releases more of it later and no formula expands it when the market is busy.
$EQUILEND is the token of the Equilend protocol on Solana. Holders vote on the parameters the market runs on, and a portion of the fees the protocol earns is used to buy the token back.
Verified on Solscan. Fixed supply, mint authority revoked.
Supply
A token whose supply can grow is a promise that depends on restraint. $EQUILEND removes the question. The supply was fixed when the token was created and its mint authority was revoked, so there is no route to change it.
The whole supply exists already. No schedule releases more of it later and no formula expands it when the market is busy.
The mint authority on the token was revoked, so a larger supply is not a decision anyone gets to take. You can look up the mint on Solscan and confirm it.
Parameter changes travel through a timelock and are published with their reason. Creating $EQUILEND is not among the things that process is able to do.
Utility
The token has two jobs. It gives holders a say in how the protocol is run, and it ties them to what the protocol earns through buybacks paid for by fees.
Tier limits, haircuts, fees and exposure caps are decided by $EQUILEND holders. A proposal that passes goes through the timelock and takes effect with its reason published beside it.
Fees pay for audits, the bug bounty and daily operations. How the rest is put to work is a decision holders make together.
A portion of the fees the protocol earns buys $EQUILEND back. The money comes from real lending activity, so buybacks grow as the market grows.
Whatever holders decide, three things stay fixed: the timelock, the published reason for each change, and the rule that repayment can never be paused.
Limits
Tokens have been used to rent liquidity, to gate products and to hide thin economics. Equilend is set up so that none of those is available.
Every rate on Equilend is agreed between a borrower and the lenders funding the loan. No yield is topped up with token rewards, so a quoted APR is the APR.
Loans are denominated in USDC and secured by tokenized stocks, and fees are collected in USDC. Holding $EQUILEND is not a condition for using the market.
Equilend earns from four fees charged when real work is done. The market would run on those same fees with or without the token.
Protocol income
Four fees are live and a fifth is on the roadmap. Each is a published parameter, collected in USDC at the moment value changes hands, and none is hidden inside a quoted rate.
