🐬What is Echo?

A Modular Consensus Layer

Echo is a general-purpose consensus layer designed to work alongside Pondora smart accounts. It allows Web3 applications to delegate authorization within critical processes to a decentralized network of participants, decentralizing authority that would otherwise reside in a single centralized component.

Rather than enforcing a fixed execution model or prescribing what consensus means, Echo enables collective approval and signing of uniquely identifiable, non-replayable payloads, whose meaning and purpose are defined entirely by the consuming application.

A key innovation of Echo is its support for highly dynamic and accessible participation. By extending the Pondora DeFi smart account, Echo enables regular DeFi users to participate directly in decentralized approval and consensus processes from their browser—without the need to run specialized hardware, maintain always-on infrastructure, or install complex software.

How to join the Echo network?

There are currently two ways to participate in Echo consensus:

  • Participating via Pondora (Browser-Based Participation). See here

  • Participating via Echo Node (Server-Based Participation). See here
