# Aqua Ecosystem Overview

<figure><img src="/files/NPFmLQHjgDcoFuquVuip" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Aqua ecosystem is a 'transparent, non-custodial gateway' designed for users unfamiliar with complex on-chain environments. Users can directly interact with smart contracts and start providing liquidity through an intuitive interface without complex procedures. All asset movements are executed solely through the user's wallet signature without any centralized custodial institutions, realizing the trustless value of Web3.

#### 1. Ecosystem Liquidity Proof Tokens (b-Token: bUSDT, bUSDC, bAUSD)

At the core of the ecosystem are proof tokens (b-Tokens) such as bUSDT, bUSDC, and bAUSD, which verify on-chain participation. When a user provides liquidity of specific stablecoins (USDt, USDC, AUSD) to a smart contract, the corresponding proof token is automatically minted to their wallet based on an algorithm. These proof tokens interact with various liquidity pools within the ecosystem and serve as a core method to prove on-chain contributions.

#### 2. Asset Interaction and Multi-Pool Mechanism

The liquidity provided by users through the interface is smart-routed to major DeFi protocols that have completed global security audits (e.g., BENQI) and the advanced liquidity infrastructure of PumpSpace, the decentralized exchange (DEX) within the ecosystem.

The reward system operates based on the characteristics of each pool as follows:

* Aqua Ecosystem b-Token Model (Single Asset Provision): Protocol rewards generated through b-Token-based single asset liquidity provision are distributed by an algorithm: 85% to liquidity providers and 15% to the ecosystem enhancement fund (used for strengthening b-Token pair liquidity and securing market depth).
* PumpSpace DEX Liquidity Model: For V2/V3 pair pools, single pools, and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) pools based on assets like BTC.b, WETH.e, and AVAX, contribution rewards are settled in real-time according to each pool's individual fee policy and reward distribution algorithm.

#### 3. Optimized Design for Web3 Onboarding

The Aqua ecosystem helps users naturally contribute to the decentralized ecosystem and earn rewards.

* Intuitive UX/UI: Provides a step-by-step interface that eliminates technical barriers.
* Contribution Reward System: A proprietary point and reward system designed to encourage ecosystem activation.

> ℹ️ Ultimately, the Aqua ecosystem acts as a technical bridge, enabling users to safely participate in the Web3 ecosystem under their own control, without requiring direct asset management from a third party.
