This weekly digest covers the most significant developments within the EOSIO ecosystem. From decentralized finance (DeFi) to blockchain-based gaming and infrastructure upgrades, we bring you the essential updates from the rapidly evolving EOS network.
DeFi Growth with Equilibrium, Acueos, and Proxy4Nation
The decentralized finance sector on EOS is witnessing impressive expansion. Equilibrium, a leading DeFi protocol, recently recorded a substantial surge in trading volume on NewDex, highlighting growing user engagement.
Equilibrium enables users to mint EOSDT—a stablecoin—by locking EOS as collateral. Governance of the protocol is managed through the NUT token, which grants voting rights to holders. A new on-chain voting mechanism is set to launch soon, improving decentralization and participation.
The platform is also organizing "Crypto DeFiance," a major DeFi conference in Singapore, which will gather thought leaders from across the blockchain industry.
Alongside Equilibrium, Acueos offers lending and borrowing services through smart contracts. It supports multiple assets, including EOS, CUSD, and EOSDT, with plans to expand its offerings.
To support these innovations, Proxy4Nation now allows users to customize staking rewards across four assets: EOS, DAPP, USDT, and EOSDT. 👉 Explore staking strategies
Bancor’s Creator.eco and Cross-Chain Solutions
Bancor continues to enhance decentralized liquidity solutions, enabling seamless token swaps between EOS and Ethereum through relay mechanisms. The EOS Nation Bancor Relay Portal simplifies adding and removing liquidity for users.
A notable new product is Creator.eco, a platform designed for digital content creators to issue and manage custom tokens. These tokens can be used to reward supporters, offer exclusive content, and foster community engagement—all without requiring deep technical knowledge.
BOS Oracle and Scalable dApp Development
BOSCore has introduced the BOS Oracle, a middleware solution that connects smart contracts with real-world data. Using a staking model and game theory, it ensures reliability among data providers, users, and arbitrators.
This system allows dApps to offer greater transparency and user guarantees, supporting more complex and trustworthy applications.
WAX Blockchain: vIRL, Permissions, and Educational Content
The WAX blockchain is expanding beyond gaming with projects like vIRL, which blends digital and physical collectibles. Users can unbox, trade, or sell real-world items without handling them physically.
EOS Amsterdam published a tutorial on advanced permission settings for WAX accounts, covering multisignature requirements and custom roles.
Additionally, the "WAX ON" video series features educational and analytical content, making blockchain concepts more accessible to a broader audience.

Four ITAM games are now available on the Samsung Blockchain Wallet. Users of Samsung Galaxy S10 and newer models can play these titles directly from the wallet’s DApp section.
BlockBase Airgrab and Web Summit
BlockBase is distributing tokens through a monthly airgrab model, encouraging early participation. The team also promoted EOSIO at the Web Summit in Lisbon, increasing visibility for the ecosystem.
KROWN Fairdrop Initiative
KROWN DAC launched a multi-fairdrop campaign, rewarding holders of EOS and several other tokens. This initiative aims to foster community engagement and decentralization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EOSDT?
EOSDT is a stablecoin issued on the EOS blockchain when users lock EOS as collateral. It is used within DeFi applications for trading, lending, and borrowing with reduced volatility.
How does proxy staking work on EOS?
Proxy staking allows users to delegate voting rights to a trusted proxy, which votes for block producers on their behalf. In return, users often receive staking rewards in EOS or other supported tokens.
What are the benefits of the BOS Oracle?
The BOS Oracle provides external data to smart contracts in a trustless manner. It uses economic incentives to ensure data accuracy, enabling more advanced dApps that require real-world information.
Can I trade real-world items on WAX?
Yes, through platforms like vIRL, users can buy, sell, and trade digital tokens that represent physical items. These can later be redeemed or resold without physical handling.
What is an airgrab?
An airgrab is a token distribution method where users claim free tokens by performing a specific action, often through a smart contract. It differs from a traditional airdrop by requiring user participation.
How can developers use NewFang?
NewFang provides decentralized storage solutions for dApps. Developers can use it during the alpha phase for free, making it an attractive option for building scalable applications.
