@Dolomite : The DeFi Prime Broker Making Capital Work Harder
DeFi has a fragmentation problem. Aave lets you borrow, GMX lets you trade, Uniswap lets you provide liquidity — but your assets lose utility the moment they’re locked in one protocol. Dolomite flips that script.
Built on Arbitrum, zkEVM, Mantle, and X Layer, Dolomite isn’t “just another money market.” It’s DeFi’s shot at a prime brokerage, where assets stay productive across lending, margin trading, staking, LPing, and governance — all at once.
The magic:
Composable Collateral → Staked ETH keeps earning yield. LP tokens keep generating fees. Governance tokens keep voting. Collateral isn’t deadweight; it’s alive.
Virtual Liquidity → One asset can back multiple activities without moving around. It’s like a single dollar that simultaneously earns savings interest, backs a credit line, and counts toward your margin.
Modular Design → A core-secure layer + flexible modules for lending, trading, and liquidations. Future-proof for multi-chain expansion.
What you can actually do:
Lend & Borrow with isolated positions for lower risk.
Margin Trade ETH, BTC, and more — directly.
Yield Stack as assets earn multiple revenue streams at once.

Tokenomic engine:
DOLO (fixed supply, cross-chain via Chainlink CCIP).
veDOLO (locked voting power + fee share).
oDOLO (weekly LP rewards → mint discounted veDOLO).
Together, they balance short-term liquidity with long-term alignment.
Why it matters: Dolomite tackles DeFi’s inefficiencies — fragmented capital, idle collateral, user friction, shallow liquidity. It’s doing for crypto what prime brokers did for TradFi: giving serious portfolio tools to anyone, permissionlessly.
Risks remain — smaller liquidity vs Aave/Compound, complexity, governance centralization, smart contract + regulatory risks. But the vision is bold: become the infrastructure layer where every token is maximally deployed.
