Babelfish is a protocol which enhances stablecoin flow by serving as a multi-chain stablecoin aggregator and distributor. It feeds on stablecoins, absorbing all liquidity and excreting the yield to deploy it as protection. The practical upshot of which is that if you stick stablecoins to it, you can neatly cross between any chains and use your money anywhere to DeFi.

1. An user deposits an accepted stablecoin on BabelFish protocol (through Sovryn platform).

2. Protocol issues XUSD, its convertible stablecoin backed 1:1.

3. That user can use XUSD on accepted protocols, bridge between chains, and redeem back at any time.

The aim for Babelfish is to have a translation device for stablecoins, which works cross-chain, and allows the fragmented liquidity pools formed by various stablecoins to join as one larger and thus more liquid stablecoin pool.

XUSD token, is a meta-stablecoin aggregating and distributing stablecoins 1:1, providing a simplified and unified user experience for interacting with stablecoins.

Any user with FISH governance tokens can come forward with an idea for the improvement of the protocol. However, those improvement ideas will need consensus from the DAO. To get consensus, a draft detailing the improvement proposal has to be posted on the Babelfish’s forum to create a public discussion, and after receiving enough feedback the proposal can be adjusted and formally submitted to be moved to the voting stage. On the voting stage, any holder of the governance token can cast their vote, weighed by the amount that person holds. When the quorum is reached, the vote has passed and the DAO must implement the proposed change to the protocol.

The FISH token is used for the governance of the protocol, allowing holders to propose and vote on protocol improvements, and fund research and development efforts. The governance model is a fork of Sovryn’s bitocracy, detailed on their wiki.

BabelFish currently supports Ethereum (ETH), Rootstock (RSK) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
