Equalizing the Playing Field

Two people can have the same education, do the same work and put in the same effort, yet not have the same development possibilities. One has access to their share of the growth of the global economy, and the other is left with empty pockets. One will be able to save, plan and invest in their future self. The other will work their whole lifetime only to be left with no reward for their hard work.

It’s brutal and unfair. Borders have limited human development. Until now.

What is Indigo Protocol?

Indigo is an autonomous synthetics protocol for on-chain price exposure to real-world assets, built on Cardano.

How does Indigo work?

Indigo allows anyone to create synthetic assets, known as iAssets. iAssets can be created using currencies such as stablecoins and ADA. They have the same price effect as holding the asset being replicated. This allows you to gain profit from the increase in price of an asset without owning the original asset itself.

What are Synthetic Assets?

Synthetic Assets give users exposure to a variety of assets without the need to actually own the underlying asset. These assets can be anything that has value in the real world. With its transparency, efficiency, low barriers to entry, and decentralized traits, the Blockchain can smoothly deliver all these assets to anyone with access to the Internet.

  • Demonstrated below, Bitcoin (BTC) can be minted as a synthetic Bitcoin (iBTC).

Indigo Web-App PROTOCOL

The dashboard is the hub for finding valuable information about the Indigo Protocol.


The CDPs page allows users to open a Collateralized Debt Position to mint iAssets and see an overview of their open positions.


The stability pool page allows users to deposit/withdraw iAssets from Stability Pools.


The Swap Tokens page brings users to the Indigo DEX Aggregator, where users can swap iAssets, ADA, and INDY on any of the Major DEXs from one page.


The Portfolio page gives users a rundown of their entire position of ADA, INDY, and iAssets and access to claim their earned INDY rewards.


This page allows users to stake their INDY to participate in governance voting.


This page allows users to see all ongoing and passed Indigo DAO Governance votes.


Below are some of the current functions available.

  • Collateralized Debt Positions (CDP)
  • CDP Liquid Staking
  • Stability Pools
  • Liquidity Pools
  • Stake LP Tokens
  • Governance
  • Staking
  • Polls
  • DEX Aggregator

$INDY Tokenomics TOKENOMICS

The INDY governance token comes from its use in the Indigo DAO voting process. The total supply of INDY will be 35M tokens with a 6 decimal precision. The max supply of INDY will be distributed to protocol users, stakers, and LPs over the course of four years. We believe in a fair distribution of the INDY tokens to the early adopters of the protocol, therefore there will be NO community pre-sale via ICO/ISO/ISPO

Token Distribution

How to obtain $INDY

Stability Pools: We reward INDY to stability providers, who deposit iAssets in preparation for collateral liquidation. This is critical for both system solvency, user experience, and security against liquidity risks.

iAsset LP Stakers: We reward INDY to iAsset LP stakers for their commitment to the iAssets LPs, essential to the whole ecosystem’s liquidity. Without them, it’s not easy to do useful things with the minted iAssets.

INDY Stakers: We reward INDY to INDY stakers, who stake and participate in the governance processes of the protocol. We need such incentive for more people to hold INDY, which in turn balances our decentralized system. This prevents having a few whales who run the system.

THE INDIGO DAO DAO

What is the Indigo DAO?

Indigo is a decentralized community led project. The Indigo DAO owns the Indigo Protocol, including the application, website and all intellectual property. A DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) is like a company, but instead of being incorporated in a country is established in a blockchain.

You, the Indigo community, control the decisions for the Indigo DAO. You can cast your votes using the INDY token. A forum has been established to help facilitate community votes. All Indigo community members are encouraged to join the forum to propose, discuss and vote on ideas to guide Indigo’s future direction.
