About Us

We are a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol focused on creating transparent and reliable DeFi experiences for users while maintaining core principles of decentralization and composability. We are a completely community governed onchain through our token. It operates as a lending and borrowing protocol on the Base network, and has pioneered innovative liquidity supplier and borrowing solutions to enhance capital efficiency namely, Integrated Liquidity Markets (ILMs). Over 200,000 users have already chosen us to lend, borrow, and multiply their DeFi assets.

Role Summary

Our Core Developers are dedicated to serving the community and DAO. As part of a highly motivated, and versatile team, they work collaboratively across the stack, contributing their expertise wherever needed to drive the protocol's success.

These software development specialists possess a deep understanding of DeFi and extensive experience in smart contract development. They have a strong foundation in computer science principles and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in blockchain technology.

With a passion for building cutting-edge DeFi solutions, core contributors are committed to creating secure, efficient, and user-friendly products that align with the protocol's mission of providing transparent and reliable DeFi experiences. They take a proactive approach to problem-solving, anticipating potential challenges and developing innovative solutions to ensure the protocol's smooth operation and continued growth.

As key contributors of the team, they work closely with other engineers, product managers, and designers to define, prioritize, and implement protocol features and improvements. They are effective communicators and collaborators, able to clearly articulate technical concepts and contribute to strategic decision-making.

By combining their technical expertise with a strong work ethic and a commitment to the community, core developers play a vital role in shaping the future of DeFi and driving the protocol's success in the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.
