Equalizer (BASE) wallet

What is Equalizer (BASE) (SCALE)?

SCALE is the emission and voting token of Equalizer's deployment on Base. Equalizer belongs to the ve(3,3) family of exchanges: liquidity pools are rewarded with newly emitted SCALE, and the direction of those emissions is decided by holders who lock their tokens rather than by the team.

The mechanic that surprises people is what locking does to the asset. A locked position is no longer the ERC-20 you were holding; it becomes a separate non-fungible position, an NFT that carries the voting weight and unlocks on its own schedule. Two consequences follow. Liquid SCALE in your wallet is not the same holding as a locked one, and it will not show voting power. And the locked position transfers as an NFT, so it has to be handled as one item, not split into a round number of tokens. Everything on Base, transfers and lock management alike, settles with ETH as the gas asset.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Base. Equalizer also runs on other chains under its own tokens, so a SCALE balance is tied to the Base deployment specifically and does not travel by itself.

A voting token spends most of its life untouched and then needs its key at an awkward moment. In Tangem the private key is generated inside the card's secure element and never leaves it, and the backup is a second identical card you keep elsewhere rather than twelve words on paper, though a seed phrase remains available if you prefer one. Keeping a position you intend to vote with, not trade, on hardware that asks nothing of you between votes is a reasonable way to hold SCALE.
