what's EqualFi Labs?

EqualFi Labs is building an on-chain prime brokerage via the Equalis Protocol, a deterministic unified liquidity base layer for DeFi. Users deposit assets into a Position NFT representing their full balance sheet, enabling sovereign custody where capital serves as collateral for lending, derivatives, AMMs, index tokens, and more without fragmentation or rehypothecation. Encumbrance mechanics mathematically assign capital internally via a single Diamond proxy contract, supporting self-secured 0% interest borrowing of correlated assets, explicit P2P credit agreements, and flash loans—all oracle-free with solvency enforced by predefined obligations. The protocol captures ecosystem velocity through universal fee routing: all activities (swaps, auctions, modules) feed into per-token Fee and Active Credit Indexes, distributing yield to passive providers and active participants. Modular facets like EqualLend, EqualIndex for static baskets, and isolated markets coexist with core deterministic finance, compatible with agentic systems via ERC-6551/6900 wallets. Designed for progressive immutability, it prioritizes anti-extraction, composability, and user agency across chains like Arbitrum.

EqualFi Labs won an award for onchain prime brokerage at Arbitrum founder house.
