POODL Token - Bringing DeFi to the Next Level

Sponsored • July 28, 2022

The DeFi industry is growing rapidly as blockchain technology becomes increasingly mainstream. Several startups and companies are improving the infrastructure and developing new applications to make it easier for people to use. Their goal is to create a more decentralized financial system that is fairer and more accessible to everyone.



With the goal of making DeFi and cryptocurrency technology more accessible and easier to use, many startups and coalitions are turning their gaze away from typical buyers within the crypto community and looking to bring new buyers into the space.


During this review we will take a look at POODL, one of the most ambitious projects in the space with several ideas that could potentially change DeFi forever. For a project with a surprisingly small team, we found that POODL has more utility and use-case than many projects ten times its size!


What Is POODL?

POODL was created in the spring of 2021 during the dog memecoin frenzy. Although it started as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, it very shortly after launch transitioned to BEP-20, where it has lived since May 2021. Since then, the token has branched out into NFTs, retail use, and gaming with the goal of creating its own metaverse ecosystem dubbed “the POODL-verse.”


As is typical with many cryptocurrencies on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), POODL employs deflationary economics built into each buy, sell, and transfer. The theory behind this is known as scarcity, the idea that an item or currency’s value should increase over time as it becomes less easily available. POODL accomplishes this through a mechanism called “token burn,” which we will discuss later in this article.


An example of a POODL Player NFT


The most recent large development from the team is the release of 2000 randomly generated 2D Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) referred to as “POODL Players.” These NFTs feature unique artwork of the eponymous POODL mascot with different outfits and props in different environments. These NFTs cost only .25 BNB to mint, and give rewards to the holder based on certain values of the NFT. The team has commented that these NFTs will be utilized in other areas of the project in the future. 


The crown-jewel of POODL is the impressive marriage of NFTs and augmented reality (AR) technology to create a very interesting and unique user experience. Upon purchase, a user will have access to a unique link that they can open with their AR-compatible smartphone, resulting in being able to view your NFT in the world around you!


If someone wants to experience this impressive technology for themselves, you can experience seeing what it’s like to have one of these 3D NFTs in the world around you at the following website on your AR-compatible smartphone:


https://ar.poodltoken.com/?project=75&customer=poodl-nft

In addition, these 3D NFTs are rigged for gaming, with many already usable in metaverses such as LakeView Meta as player avatars. Not only that, but they also give the buyer a certain percentage of POODL in rewards based on trade volume. We expect to see these sell out quickly, with the promise of many more interesting implementations of this unique NFT technology in the future!

The project’s 3D NFT collection is already live on OpenSea.


POODL in the Crypto Security Sphere

Security has always been and will remain one of POODL’s most important areas of focus. The team was among the first in the crypto space to get a verified blue checkmark on Twitter, Telegram, OpenSea, and other internet platforms. This is done to help limit the ability of scammers and impersonators to take advantage of potential would-be victims.


The original POODL smart contract audit by Solidity Finance gave the project a security certification that’s publicly posted so that anyone can verify. Since then, POODL has been re-assessed by S3EK token and holds the honor of being one of the first tokens approved by their team. The POODL developers are doxxed and KYC’d through S3EK, an extra step only taken by a select few tokens that ensures the team can be held accountable for the project.


In addition, the team decided to lock the POODL/wBNB pool for five years on Unicrypt. This makes the token impossible to rugpull and guarantees that the token will always be available to trade on various decentralized exchanges (DEX) like PancakeSwap in addition to centralized exchanges (CEX) like HotBit. More importantly, it signifies that the team is in it for the long haul. With over a years-worth of history behind them, POODL has many more years of continuous development to look forward to. 


Tokenomics

As mentioned earlier in this article, many crypto projects utilize special properties for their transactions. For POODL, this is utilized as a mechanism to simultaneously reward long-time holders and provide additional funding to the project. However, what’s unique to POODL is that the holders of the tokens vote on how to allocate these funds. If a majority of the community decide something should be changed, it’s brought up for discussion and thrown to a poll where each community member gets one vote per POODL token they own at the time the poll goes live.



The POODL token uses a 6% transaction tax on buys, sells, and transfers:

  • Token redistribution: 2%
  • Marketing operations: 2%
  • Deflationary mechanism (token burning): 1%
  • Charity donations: 0.5%
  • Liquidity system: 0.5%


The overall supply of this token was 100 trillion tokens at launch, but 20 trillion tokens have been burned in the year since then. 


The Project’s Future

Sharing a roadmap with the community is essential when launching a crypto project. This choice will help keep everyone up to date on what is happening with the project. Moreover, the community will know what to expect in the future. It will also help build trust between the team and the community.


NFTs, Partnerships, & Gaming

Ongoing efforts to further develop POODL’s NFT and gaming metaverse are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Metaverses where POODL is already present are also developing with rapid speed. Outside of gaming, POODL will continue to develop partnerships with reputable tokens to form a safe haven for investors where they don’t need to worry about scams.


“POODL for Business”

The latest update from the team is that this summer is going to be focused on “POODL for Business.” POODL can already be used for retail payments at select stores, but although details are currently scarce it is expected to launch very soon.


Marketing and Charity

Since the project launched, charity has been an integral part of POODL. Specifically, the team donates approximately $1,500 per month to “Canines for Disabled Kids.” In the future, it is possible additional charities will be added.


Final Thoughts

Anyone who has read this far in the article should realize that POODL has more to offer than nearly any other token of its size. On top of being safe and reliable, the team is innovative and constantly coming up with new ideas and directions for the project. We’re sure it won’t be long until this puppy is barking loud enough for everyone to hear it!

The launch of Echo Exchange introduces not just a new trading venue but a broader architecture for digital asset management. The project combines yield generation, community governance, and structured custody into a unified ecosystem.  As part of this infrastructure, Echo brings forward a solution designed to address one of the industry’s most persistent challenges: asset security in uncertain jurisdictions. Echo is backed by its legal designation as a Virtual Asset Service Provider under the Isle of Man’s regulatory regime. The ecosystem integrates a Protected Cell Company (PCC) structure called Echo Elite. This is an optional but pivotal component for users seeking structured digital asset custody tied to enforceable legal protections. What Echo Is Announcing As of May 2025, the Echo Exchange will be live. This launch will include: EchoX, a centralized exchange focused on accessibility and onboarding Echo’s real-yield model, distributing platform fees to token holders in USDC The initial release of Echo Elite, a PCC-based framework for asset custody The public sale of the ECHO Token, the ecosystem’s native governance and yield-bearing asset While many exchanges emphasize front-end interfaces or token incentives, the Echo’s strategy is different. The announcement centers on the full-stack design of its ecosystem - particularly how legal infrastructure underpins user protections. Introducing Echo Elite: Structured Custody Echo Elite is Echo’s most compliance-centric module. It introduces Protected Cell structures, a mechanism traditionally used in finance to isolate client assets legally and operationally. Within the Echo ecosystem, user accounts can opt into a custody model that offers greater legal clarity and jurisdictional insulation. PCCs enable the separation of Echo’s own operating capital from user funds. This becomes increasingly important as tokenized asset classes enter the platform’s offerings in later phases. This also applies to real-world asset (RWA) representations like stocks or real estate. The approach reflects a broader theme: Echo’s attempt to bridge blockchain functionality with traditional financial safeguards. Real Yield and Exchange Fee Sharing Security is only one part of Echo’s user-facing model. The ECHO Token acts as the backbone of a real-yield mechanism, wherein: 50% of all trading fees from both EchoX and Echo Pro are distributed daily to token holders in USDC. 10% of platform revenue on a daily basis will be used for buying and burning ECHO tokens. The strategy aims to gradually decrease circulating supply. This model will be non-inflationary. There will be no staking rewards of synthetics or emission of tokens. Yield will be linked straight to the platform's actual usage. This feature will make the yield more predictable and sustainable than most incentive designs in the digital asset ecosystem. Participation is simple: users activate yield by transferring tokens into a dedicated savings account inside their Echo dashboard. Funds remain liquid and accessible. The Token Structure Echo’s tokenomics are deliberately conservative. Key figures include: Total supply: 1 billion ECHO Burn target: 500 million (deflation ends at this point) Public sale allocation: 2% Community Foundation: 30% (non-transferable and permanently locked) Team allocation: 20% (long vesting schedule) Liquidity allocation: 15% Remaining tokens divided across marketing, seed investors, and gamified whitelist initiatives Importantly, the Community Foundation - which holds the largest share - operates under a binding legal obligation to never sell its tokens. Rather, it only exists on yield, which gets invested in governance-sanctioned ecologics like education, collaborations, and product development. The design intends to discourage speculation as a first point. Also, it aims to encourage long-term alignment between platform success and the fate of the token holders. A Platform Built for Traders Echo’s design consists of two interfaces: EchoX, a consumer-friendly exchange, focuses on simplicity, pair trading using stablecoins, and seamless execution. It addresses first-time users and inexperienced traders not interested in complicated trading schemes. Echo Pro, launching in Phase 2 (Q3 2025), provides advanced features for trading: charting tools, stop-loss, leverage, and API connectivity for institutional and power users. Both sites, in spite of their varying user interfaces and user bases, share a common Scala-based matching platform. This tech is optimized for concurrency, throughput, and speed. They also share backend infrastructure written in Go, with front-end deployment via Next.js for a responsive and consistent user experience. The Technology Behind the Custody Security isn’t limited to user-facing features. Echo’s wallet architecture employs: Multi-Party Computation (MPC): for distributing key control among several parties Tiered wallet models: hot, warm, and cold storage Hardware wallet compatibility Biometric access and passkey authentication AML/KYC procedures are managed by Amazon Cognito, which simplifies user identity verification. The goal is to maintain high compliance standards without degrading onboarding speed. In fact, the latter is a known bottleneck in exchanges that rely on manual reviews. Together, these systems support Echo’s goal of creating an ecosystem where users can interact securely without compromising on usability. Governance and Jurisdiction Governance within Echo relies on both ownership of the tokens and clear jurisdictions. Token holders are able to: Voting on how funds are spent in the Community Foundation. Develop and rank new product features. Approve partnerships and listings of tokens through a formal proposal procedure. But what distinguishes Echo from other projects is that it relies on legal entities to enforce these institutions. It doesn't utilize symbolic DAOs for governance or soft consensus. Rather, decisions, particularly those regarding funding of the ecosystem, are carried out by a foundation. This entity possesses a well-defined charter and binding fiduciary responsibilities. The approach emphasizes establishing trust with those who are not willing to engage with DAO-based systems that lack enforceability. Echo’s Roadmap Rollout for Echo is phased deliberately to maintain product stability: Phase 1 (May 2025): During this phase, there will be the EchoX launch, the ECHO token ICO, and the soft launch of Echo Elite. Phase 2 (Q3, 2025): Following this, there will be efforts to accomplish the full Echo Pro launch. We must include mention of trading bot implementation, community governance platform, and IEO launch. Phase 3 (2026): Derivatives trading, social trading, inclusion of real-world assets, tokenized mutual products, and securities Phase 4 (2027): Full RWA brokerage capabilities, integrated neobank products, and payment rails. All the phases leverage the preceding one by adding platform sophistication. Bottom Line Echo’s product lineup combines high-frequency trading, user real yield, and solutions that take jurisdictions into account. Echo sees itself as a platform where economic incentives and legal architecture converge. With its rollout, Echo joins a small group of initiatives that are geared towards developing new tools for trading. The team is focused on reconsidering the function of regulation and structure in crypto asset custodianship.

Echo , a groundbreaking centralized cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it will officially launch globally on May 15, 2025. The much-expected event is set to be a pivotal occasion for digital asset trading as Echo aims to establish a new industry standard. The community-centric platform promises a seamless user experience, institutional-grade security, and an ecosystem-driven approach.  On the same date of the launch, Echo will conduct a public sale of its native ECHO token, with 2% of the total token supply available exclusively through the platform. The proceeds should boost the project’s development following successful early funding rounds that already secured $2.5 million in support from strategic investors. Echo stands out from other centralized crypto exchanges through its ecosystem-focused model. More precisely, it is designed to thrive on users' participation, who, in turn, benefit directly from the platform's growth and activity. The exchange proposes a transparent and intuitive environment for retail and professional traders to navigate safely and efficiently. Sam Dorrer, Chief Executive Officer at Echo, commented on Echo’s community-driven approach: "Our mission is to create a cryptocurrency exchange that truly prioritizes its users. Echo is designed to be more than just a trading platform—it’s a dynamic ecosystem that fosters long-term engagement and participation." Built for Traders by Traders The rapidly evolving digital asset landscape may seem daunting to newcomers. That’s why Echo provides easy navigation features, deep liquidity, and high-speed trade execution to simplify crypto trading for its growing community. Echo does not set entry barriers and accommodates traders of all skills and experience. Beginners can start on EchoX, the platform’s user-friendly centralized exchange. Thanks to the platform's intuitive interface, they can enjoy a smooth initiation to crypto trading. Meanwhile, institutional and seasoned investors can access Echo Pro and its advanced trading tools. The platform's modular design provides real-time analytics, market insights, and strategies to help traders make better-informed decisions. Lastly, Echo charges minimal fees of only 0.1% per transaction, ensuring all casual or high-frequency traders benefit from a competitive fee structure. The ECHO Token The ECHO token is a foundational element of Echo's unique ecosystem. It is designed as a real-yield token on Ethereum and features robust tokenomics, including a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens. The platform employs a deflationary mechanism for the ECHO token, allocating 10% of the daily revenue from both EchoX and Echo Pro to repurchasing tokens on the open market. It then “burns” the repurchased tokens from circulation to enhance scarcity and potentially ECHO’s value in the long term. ECHO token holders enjoy fee discounts, premium trading tools, and early access to new services. Moreover, they get governance rights. Therefore, they can participate in platform decision-making, such as fund allocation for the Echo Foundation. The latter will be a pool dedicated to funding growth, strategic partnerships, and other governance initiatives. Echo has allocated 2% of the total ECHO token supply for the public sale taking place on May 15, 2025. This controlled release should create scarcity and support upward price momentum while meeting public demand without diluting the token’s overall value. Revenue and Yield Generation Echo Exchange stays true to its community-focused mission by returning some trading fees to ECHO token holders. The platform distributes 50% of the fees generated from EchoX and Echo Pro as stablecoin (USDC) yields. This feature is a fundamental part of the Echo ecosystem, aligning fee generation with user rewards and ensuring the Echo community grows and thrives together with the platform. Security and Compliance Echo employs the industry’s highest security standards, including multi-layered encryption, biometric authentication, robust KYC/AML checks, and institutional-grade wallet infrastructure. These features guarantee maximum protection for Echo users and their assets. Echo operates as a designated business for convertible virtual currency under the Regulatory Framework of the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority. This status enables the platform to provide tax advantages to its EchoElite Traders under the Isle of Man PCC Structure, which means 0% capital gains tax and 0% corporate tax for crypto investments. EchoElite Traders get to keep more of their gains, accelerating the ability to compound their portfolio. The Echo Roadmap The Echo Exchange is set to follow a 3-phase development path plus a series of future integrations: Phase 1 The Launch of EchoX for basic trading and Echo Elite, with the latter providing asset custody under The Isle of Man’s PCC (Protected Cell Companies) structure. The ECHO token public sale takes place on May 15, 2025, simultaneously with the Echo exchange launch. Echo will also launch the Echo Journal to start building helpful content for its community. Phase 2 The introduction of Echo Pro for advanced trading with cutting-edge tools, such as enhanced liquidity and professional-grade functionalities. This phase will also see the expansion of yield generation models, the integration of trading bots, and additional digital asset services. Phase 3 Echo will expand into Real World Assets (RWAs) trading, leveraging tokenization to unlock traditional asset classes. At this stage, the platform will reach full integration of advanced protocols (e.g., peer-to-contract) to enhance collateralized borrowing and lending capabilities. Other planned features and integrations include: Neobank Rails will enable seamless fiat-to-token conversions with integrated banking services. Fractionalized Assets & Multi-Class Asset Choices, such as tokenizing commodities, stocks, and real estate. Collateralized and decentralized lending and borrowing capabilities through the platform’s peer-to-contract protocol. Offshore & Digitized Trust Structures will expand custody solutions via the Echo Elite framework. An Integrated Launchpad supports onboarding promising new projects to further diversify and strengthen the Echo ecosystem. About Echo Echo operates as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) for custody and exchange under the Regulatory Framework of the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority. The platform aims to reshape the crypto trading landscape through a user-driven digital asset ecosystem. Echo’s long-term goal is to establish itself as a leader in digital asset management at the intersection of traditional finance and the emerging blockchain-based economy. Echo aims to deliver a community-first trading experience that includes traders of all levels. The platform seeks to empower its members through a robust fee-sharing model, advanced financial tools, daily rewards for token holders, and maximum security for their assets. The ECHO token public sale will occur on May 15, 2025, exclusively on Echo's official platform. The organizers urge interested participants to register in advance via the Echo’s website . Since the sale follows the “first-come, first-served” rule, early registration allows investors to purchase ECHO tokens before they sell out. Those who miss out may have to resort to secondary markets, where prices will vary. For ongoing updates and community engagement, follow Echo on X (formerly Twitter) , Discord , and Telegram .
