As a seasoned analyst with years of experience navigating the dynamic landscape of blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi), I find the launch of Echelon Chain on Aptos incredibly intriguing. The strategic integration of Initia’s Interwoven Stack and Celestia’s modular blockchain tech positions Echelon to potentially dominate the Move ecosystem’s DeFi market.
On the blockchain platform Aptos, the decentralized lending system known as Echelon has introduced Echelon Chain, an application chain that operates based on debt and is built using the Move programming language.
According to a recent announcement made by the Echelon team on November 28th, the AppChain utilizes Celestia’s versatile modular blockchain tech, which is part of Initia’s Interwoven Stack.
In a new development, Echelon Chain has launched its first project, coming on the heels of the unveiling of the Echelon Roadmap. This launch underscores approximately $100 million in assets locked and over $132 million in borrowed resources within the system. The appchain serves as a testament to Echelon’s ambition to lead the decentralized finance sector within the Move ecosystem.
With the inclusion of Initia’s Interwoven Stack, Echelon Chain offers a multitude of benefits to its environment. These advantages include seamless integration of LayerZero for onboarding, access to assets native to Celestia, built-in USDC support, and oracles that have been formally established.
The platform has been created specifically for handling debt and managing modular assets. It provides the ability to seamlessly combine different blockchains on an atomic level, particularly with Initia’s layer-1, and features a built-in native marketplace for liquidity.
This August, the startup Echelon secured $3.5 million in seed funding, primarily from Amber Group, along with contributions from Laser Digital, Saison Capital, Re7, Selini Capital, and Interop Ventures.
The funds were earmarked for expanding access to high-performance DeFi and real-world asset markets, introducing cross-chain deposit vaults, and hiring smart contract and full-stack engineers.
The public testing phase for Echelon is planned towards the end of this year, while its main network will go live concurrently with Initia’s release.
