For the Cardano blockchain, Paribus is a cross-chain borrowing and lending protocol for NFTs, liquidity positions, and synthetic assets. It has a special automated tracking service that enables customers to receive automatic refunds when prices on their most recent purchases decrease.

Paribus' goal is to realize the full potential of these assets by transforming them into interoperable financial instruments that can be used within DeFi protocols on any chain. Paribus is a cross-chain decentralized finance protocol that aims to release underlying liquidity for a variety of conventional and unconventional digital assets.

The protocol known as Paribus unites all of these elements by providing DeFi holders and investors with a platform to expand the use of their digital assets and positions and hence increase their earning potential.

The Paribus algorithm calculates how many tokens must be burned from our ecosystem based on the amount of PBX exchanged on all marketplaces. We achieve this by transferring the tokens to an unreachable null wallet.

This method makes sure that over time, an increasing number of tokens are permanently eliminated from the ecosystem. The tokens to be burned will be produced from transaction fees after the Paribus MVP is launched, gradually lowering the amount of tokens in circulation. This amount of PBX will change as trading activity and the algorithm change to safeguard the ecosystem's worth.

Functionality and Protocol

The features and protocol of Paribus are built to change as new crypto asset classes emerge, maximizing the value held in the new universe of interconnected blockchains. .

The PBX Token

The native governance token of Paribus, PBX, enables holders to draft and decide on protocol-related proposals. The ultimate objective of the PBX token is to align the Paribus yield protocol’s incentives, resulting in a codified harmony between stakeholders, the protocol, and the security of the assets it contains.

In addition, holders of PBX tokens are qualified to receive a portion of the protocol’s fees based on their holdings. The more the tier and the greater the percentage achieved, the higher the stake.
