BUILDING ASSETS ON THE BLOCKCHAIN
Indigo is an algorithmic, autonomous synthetics protocol for on-chain price exposure to real-world assets, built on Cardano.
What is Indigo Protocol?
Indigo allows the creation of fungible assets, “synthetics”, that track the price of real world assets. Indigo synthetics are intended to be used as key building blocks in smart contracts, and to bring the world’s assets to the blockchain.

$INDY is Indigo Protocol’s governance token. It is primarily used for governance but also is used as a reward for stakers in the platform. There is no private sale of $INDY tokens.
Token Allocation
How to earn $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 & INDY LP: We reward INDY to iAsset and INDY LP stakers for their commitment to the liquidity pools, essential to the whole ecosystem’s liquidity. Without them, it’s not easy to do useful things with the minted iAssets.
DEX Airdrop: We require a DEX to expose the iAssets further and create a revenue stream from yield farming for different agents in the protocol. A DEX will be decided after a certain amount of time (1 year after genesis) through democratic governance voting.

How can I use Indigo?
Currently, Indigo is in development so there is no way to interact with the protocol. However, when the application is launched there will be both a Web and Mobile application that allows you to interact with the Indigo Protocol.
What are the key benefits of Indigo?
Indigo will allow anyone, anywhere, at any time to tokenize any asset and trade it. It allows people to enter markets they otherwise would never have access to, and it levels the playing field in terms of financial freedom. As the usage of iAssets grows we will become freed from the constraints that have been placed on trading, investing, and saving. This is the power of decentralized finance.
How can I earn $INDY?
Those who wish to earn $INDY tokens can do so in two different ways:
1. By providing liquidity to any iAsset pool pairs.
2. By staking your $INDY to the protocol, you earn rewards generated from withdrawing collateral from CDP positions within the protocol.
What are iAssets?
iAssets are blockchain tokens that behave like synthetic versions of real-world assets by reflecting the exchange prices on-chain. They give traders the price exposure to real assets while enabling fractional ownership, open access and censorship resistance as any other cryptocurrency.
