The Feeling Behind Dolomite
Most platforms make you choose. You either borrow against your tokens or you keep their rewards. One side or the other. Dolomite destroys that choice.
Here your tokens never stop working. You lend, you borrow, you margin trade, and at the same time your assets are still staking, still farming, still voting. It feels like having two lives for the same coin. Power without sacrifice.
Why People Flock to It
Picture this. You’re holding GLP from GMX. On other platforms you’d lose its yield if you use it as collateral. In Dolomite, you borrow against it while the yield still flows to you.
Holding ARB? You don’t give up your voice. You can still vote in governance even while you unlock liquidity.
Pendle PT and YT tokens? You can collateralize them and their special mechanics keep running.
This is why people call Dolomite a liquidity machine. You don’t just borrow. You unlock.
The Experience
Using Dolomite feels less like banking and more like control.
You deposit from a huge list of assets, over a thousand supported.
You open isolated borrow accounts. Each is its own bubble. One fails, the others survive.
You borrow what you need, while your token keeps doing its job.
You press one button in the Strategies Hub and complex loops or leverage positions build instantly.
It’s not just another protocol. It feels alive.
The Heartbeat of Dolomite: DOLO Token
Every strong system has its own heartbeat. For Dolomite it’s DOLO.
There are one billion in total, no more at launch.
Lock them into veDOLO and you gain power. Power to vote, power to influence, and even power to share in fees.
With oDOLO, you grab discounts. The longer you lock, the bigger the discount. It’s Dolomite’s way of rewarding those who truly believe.
The token was born in April 2025 across Ethereum and Berachain.
If Dolomite is the engine, DOLO is the fuel.
Security That Earns Trust
In DeFi, trust is fragile. Dolomite works to protect it. Audits by giants like OpenZeppelin and Cyfrin. Full test coverage. A bug bounty that never sleeps. Chainlink oracles feeding reliable prices, with extra protections for tricky assets like GLP.
Nothing in DeFi is perfect. But Dolomite feels like a protocol that knows danger is always near and builds walls to hold it back.
The People Behind It
In 2023, the builders raised $2.5 million from serious backers like Coinbase Ventures and Draper Goren Holm. These aren’t casual names. They back projects with teeth.
That funding was fuel. What followed was relentless building, integrations with GMX, Pendle, and more, and a system designed to last.
The Real Risks
Let’s be clear. Dolomite is powerful, but power cuts both ways.
Markets crash and you can be liquidated fast.
Oracles can fail and cause chaos.
Smart contracts, no matter how audited, can have holes.
Exotic tokens can dry up in liquidity when panic hits.
Dolomite gives you tools to manage risk. But it’s still DeFi. The waves are high. You need to sail carefully.
The Edge Against Rivals
Aave and Compound are safe and huge, but their asset lists are short.
Fraxlend and Silo isolate risk, but they don’t touch every kind of token.
Dolomite says yes where others say no. Long-tail tokens, governance tokens, yield tokens, weird tokens with special mechanics — Dolomite builds a home for all of them.
That’s its boldness. That’s its edge.
Who Finds Magic Here
Farmers who want to squeeze every drop of yield.
Traders who crave exotic pairs and margin freedom.
Governance holders who refuse to give up their vote for liquidity.
For casual users, there’s Aave. For the ones who chase more, there’s Dolomite.
The Final Human Truth
@Dolomite is not just another DeFi app. It feels like evolution. A place where tokens refuse to sleep. A place where you don’t give up your rights just to borrow a little liquidity.
