summary
Platform promises 8–11% APY on USDC/USDT by lending deposits permissionlessly (no KYC, no minimum, no lockup but a withdrawal delay) to regulated asset managers, with a deliberately simple smart‑contract design to reduce exploit risk. Live on Ethereum and Base as a LayerZero OApp, integrates Aave and Morpho, and lists partners Monarch, Fortis and Fidelity; fee model is 0% management fee plus a 20% performance fee, and claims predictable, institutional-style yields from delta‑neutral quant and similar strategies.
