Equalizer on SonicPrice

(EQUAL)

No, they are not the same. Following the December 2024 migration deadline, EQUAL on Fantom and EQUAL on Sonic became independent assets with distinct supply dynamics and utility. Most official 1:1 burn-and-mint migration windows have concluded. Users holding legacy tokens on the older chain should note that the automated bridge period is closed, meaning those tokens generally cannot be converted to the new Sonic-based EQUAL through official protocol channels.

Migrated voting-escrow (ve) NFTs were automatically set to a 'max-lock' status, typically lasting between 26 and 52 weeks. This design was implemented to ensure deep, long-term liquidity and governance stability during the protocol's high-profile transition to the Sonic blockchain. This commitment from early adopters helps secure the ecosystem while the new chain matures, allowing the protocol to maintain its decentralized economic model effectively.

To qualify for 'S' token incentives, users typically need to provide liquidity to designated pools or participate in governance via veEQUAL voting. Recent campaigns, such as the January 2026 distribution, focused on rewarding active participants within the Sonic ecosystem. Users should use official verification tools to check eligibility. It is important to note that Sonic uses 'S' for gas, unlike the unrelated 'Equalizer' protocol on the TON network. Always verify links through official LBank or project channels to avoid scams.

Equalizer uses a ve(3,3) model with two primary paths. Staking involves providing liquidity to a pool to earn EQUAL emissions. Locking involves converting your EQUAL into a veEQUAL NFT for a set duration. While stakers earn token emissions, lockers (voters) manage the protocol by deciding which pools receive those emissions. In return, lockers earn 100% of the trading fees and 'bribes'—incentives added by other projects to attract liquidity—from the specific pools they support.

The Sonic deployment of Equalizer is built on proven DEX architectures that have undergone multiple audits. The specific vulnerability associated with the 2025 exploit on the legacy Fantom chain was patched prior to the Sonic launch. Regarding refunds, users are strictly advised to avoid any 'Refund Portals' promoted on social media, as these are frequently wallet-drainer scams. Official updates regarding security and historical recovery efforts are only communicated through verified community platforms.

To interact with the protocol, you must add the Sonic Network to your non-custodial wallet using the correct RPC details, including the Chain ID and currency symbol 'S'. To ensure you are trading the correct asset and avoid fraudulent imitations, always use the verified Sonic contract address: 0xddf26b42c1d903de8962d3f79a74a501420d5f19. Always cross-reference this information with official documentation or LBank’s verified project listings before performing transactions.
