Binance has recently unveiled its 50th project on Binance Launchpool – Ethena (ENA), an Ethereum-based synthetic dollar protocol. Ethena aims to offer a crypto-native alternative for money that doesn’t depend on traditional banking infrastructure. Additionally, it introduces a globally accessible dollar-denominated savings instrument known as the ‘Internet Bond.’ So what are the details of the project on Binance Launchpool, and can we still manage to farm its airdrop? We will let you know the details in this article.
What is Ethena (ENA)?
Ethena is a platform based on Ethereum that focuses on creating a synthetic dollar and internet-native yield. Its main goal is to ensure stability and growth in the DeFi world, mainly through USDe, a synthetic dollar. Ethena Labs, part of the platform, uses Ethereum collateral to keep USDe’s value stable. This provides users with a stable and scalable crypto-based solution. Additionally, Ethena introduces the ‘Internet Bond,’ which offers ways to earn returns through staking and derivatives. This helps to diversify income and make dollar-based savings accessible to everyone worldwide.
