Innovating DeFi for All: Built for the Future

Elys Network is built on the principles of sustainability that will ultimately shape the new era of DeFi. The platform will generate non-inflationary yield from multiple sources, which will be distributed via a revenue sharing model to the network participants, like Liquidity Providers and Stakers. This means that all participants in the network will be rewarded using sustainable mechanisms from the beginning. Elys is designed from the ground up to not be reliant on inflationary reward mechanisms other than the initial bootstrapping phase. All participants in the network, including Liquidity Providers, Node Operators, Delegators, and the protocol itself have clear paths to long-term value accrual.

Elys Network Development

Currently in testnet, we have built our blockchain from the ground up, utlizing the latest version of Cosmos DSK and introducing several custom modules designed in-house. Elys code is open-source and always available for review on Github.

The Elys Network testnet blockchain explorer can be viewed here. The explorer includes a chain dashboard, active validator set with uptimes and commision, and governance.
