In the DeFi world, many investors face the dilemma of holding a bunch of 'non-standard assets' — such as LP tokens obtained from liquidity mining and yield certificates staked on public chains. These assets are clearly tied to actual returns, yet due to not meeting the 'standard asset' requirements of traditional lending platforms, they can only lie dormant in wallets, unable to be converted into usable funds. The emergence of Dolomite, with its ability to support over 1000 unique assets, has broken this deadlock — it not only incorporates non-standard assets like LP tokens and staked assets into the lending system but also innovates mechanisms to allow these 'special assets' to earn interest and be borrowed, completely activating the 'hidden liquidity' of the DeFi world.
Dolomite's core breakthrough is the establishment of a 'compliance lending framework' for non-standard assets. Traditional platforms refuse non-standard assets, essentially due to concerns about their valuation difficulties and poor liquidity. However, Dolomite addresses this core pain point through a dual solution of 'technical adaptation + risk anchoring'. On a technical level, its modular architecture can flexibly adapt to the contract logic of different types of non-standard assets. Whether it is Uniswap's LP tokens or staking yield certificates on Berachain, they can all be integrated into the platform through customized modules. In terms of valuation, the platform integrates Chainlink oracles, combining multi-dimensional information such as the value of underlying collateral and historical yield data to generate fair prices in real-time, avoiding valuation biases caused by single data sources. For example, the ETH-USDC LP tokens held by users on the Arbitrum network can be directly pledged to Dolomite. The platform captures the real-time net asset value of that LP pool through oracles and calculates the borrowing limit based on a dynamic collateralization rate. This means that LP tokens, which could only passively earn fees, can transform into 'financing tools' — users can borrow stablecoins against them and continue to invest in other mining projects, achieving 'one asset with two yields' and allowing the value of non-standard assets to no longer be limited to native yields.
More crucially, Dolomite's 'equity retention mechanism' ensures that the 'native yields of non-standard assets do not disconnect'. For holders of non-standard assets, the greatest concern is 'losing rights upon collateralization' — such as when pledging tokens, not only losing staking yields, but also potentially missing out on ecological airdrops. However, Dolomite's dynamic collateralization mechanism completely alleviates this worry: when users pledge non-standard assets for borrowing, they still retain all native rights to the assets. Taking tokens staked on Berachain as an example, after users pledge them to Dolomite, they can not only borrow funds for other investments but also continue to receive block rewards generated from staking. If a project initiates a snapshot airdrop, the addresses of collateralized users will still be included in the statistical range, ensuring they do not miss out on additional yields. This design that separates 'borrowing from rights' perfectly balances the 'liquidity demand' and 'long-term yields' of non-standard assets. A user shared their practical experience: 'In the past, LP tokens would not receive fee-sharing after being pledged, but now at Dolomite, I can earn shared profits while borrowing each month, ensuring both capital turnover and yield generation.'
The multi-chain layout has made the 'activation scenarios for non-standard assets more extensive'. Dolomite not only supports Arbitrum but has also expanded to multiple EVM-compatible networks such as Berachain and Mantle, and these emerging ecosystems are rich in non-standard assets. In the Berachain ecosystem, users can pledge innovative staking tokens within the ecosystem, borrow funds to participate in liquidity mining on that chain, and further reduce gas costs and improve transaction efficiency by leveraging the synergy between the platform and the underlying network. In the Polygon network, users holding LP tokens from niche projects can borrow mainstream assets through Dolomite, seizing cross-chain arbitrage opportunities in a timely manner. This multi-chain coverage capability allows non-standard assets from different networks to find activation paths, forming an ecological effect of 'cross-chain asset linkage and value addition'.
Data confirms the activation effectiveness of non-standard assets: the lending proportion of non-standard assets on the Dolomite platform has reached 35%, with nearly half of users stating they 'choose to use it long-term because they can pledge LP tokens'. Behind this data is the transformation of countless non-standard assets from 'idle items' to 'value-added tools'.
Dolomite breaks the entry barriers for non-standard assets through technical adaptation, protects the native yields of assets with an equity retention mechanism, and expands activation scenarios with a multi-chain layout, successfully unlocking the hidden liquidity of the DeFi world. It proves that non-standard assets are not 'marginal assets', but rather 'treasure assets' that can create multiple values. For investors holding a large amount of non-standard assets, Dolomite is undoubtedly the optimal choice for achieving efficient asset utilization. Join Dolomite and let every non-standard asset of yours come to life and generate profit!
