Equilibria

Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

Equilibria aggregates Pendle LP positions and locks converted PENDLE as vePENDLE to boost yield across a ten-chain footprint. The 2026-08-16 survey measured about $8.75M, only 8.75% of the $100M materiality floor. The version-1 below-materiality dossier decides before Pendle-market, governance-lock, ePENDLE-liquidity or multichain contract diligence could support an advised allocation.

Kill criteria: the events that revoke this verdict
• TVL sustained above $100M for 30 days

The research file

Mechanism applicability

Equilibria accepts Pendle market LP positions, aggregates them under its vePENDLE balance and distributes boosted Pendle rewards through streaming payout contracts. Users may also convert PENDLE 1:1 into ePENDLE; the underlying PENDLE is locked for the maximum period, while ePENDLE staking and external ePENDLE/PENDLE liquidity provide separate yield and market-exit paths.

Control, loss and exit applicability

Equilibria charges 22.5% of boosted LP yield and governance allocates that fee among ePENDLE stakers, strategic use and treasury. A multisig-controlled emergency function can stop features and attempt to withdraw assets from Pendle. LP exit depends on the corresponding Pendle market and Equilibria contracts; converted PENDLE cannot be redeemed through Equilibria and must be sold as ePENDLE at a market-determined rate that may depeg.

Current observation and corrected perimeter

The DefiLlama API read on 2026-08-16 classified Equilibria as Yield and reported approximately $8.75M across Base, Binance, Ethereum, Plasma, Sonic, Mantle, Arbitrum, Hyperliquid L1, Berachain and Optimism. Ethereum dominated the measured balance. Separately reported EQB staking is not added to protocol TVL, and this record does not attribute Pendle TVL held outside Equilibria.

Why the materiality dossier decides

The measured product perimeter remains only 8.75% of the $100M floor, leaving proposed advised flows large relative to observable capacity. Reopen after Equilibria TVL remains above $100M for 30 days; then reconcile every active chain and Pendle market, fee and emergency powers, audits and incidents, ePENDLE secondary depth and proposed-size LP withdrawals.

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls

The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
