, launched on the mainnet 1 year ago. The protocol is bringing innovation to Solana, specifically in the Lending market. We provide tools for both lenders and liquidity providers, offering some of the highest lending rates in the blockchain space. We pride ourselves on being at the forefront of innovation.
