The Problem with Today's Lending Platforms:
Most lending and borrowing protocols in DeFi are limited. They support a handful of major assets like ETH, BTC, and stablecoins. But what about the thousands of other tokens from yield-bearing assets to long-tail project tokens that make up the onchain economy? Using these assets as collateral often means sacrificing their native utility or rewards. This is where @Dolomite changes the game.
Dolomite's Unique Approach: DeFi-Native Rights
Dolomite is the only platform that can support over 1,000 unique assets for lending and borrowing. But its real innovation lies in how it does it. Unlike others, Dolomite allows you to use your assets as collateral without losing their core "DeFi-native rights."
* Retain Yield: You can lend, borrow, and trade while your underlying assets continue to earn yield from staking or other protocols. This is capital efficiency on a new level.
* Maintain Utility: Your assets don't become static collateral. They remain dynamic, allowing you to earn trading fees, participate in governance, and much more, all while leveraging them for a loan.
* Modular Architecture: Dolomite's design separates its secure core from a flexible module layer. This allows them to rapidly add new assets and features without compromising security, which is why they can support a vast number of tokens.
Why This Matters for DeFi's Future
Dolomite isn't just a lending platform; it's a financial infrastructure that recognizes the full potential of onchain assets. By providing a market for long-tail assets, it enhances liquidity across the entire ecosystem and allows users to unlock the true value of their diverse portfolios.
This is a critical step towards a more mature and inclusive DeFi landscape where every asset, regardless of its size, has a place and a purpose.
