Understanding Colend

Learn what Colend is all about, its mission, and how it’s reshaping the world of DeFi.

What if accessing funds or growing your wealth didn’t come with so many compromises ?

For decades, the financial system has operated on the same rigid rules. Users like you were expected to adapt, filling out endless forms, navigating hidden fees, all while feeling like you have little say in how your money is managed.

We believe that financial freedom is a right, not a privilege reserved for a few.

Colend is a decentralized application that redefines peer-to-peer finance. It allows you to earn and/or borrow cryptocurrencies safely, without middlemen, while keeping full control of your assets. By addressing the limitations of traditional systems, we open up opportunities that were out of reach. Whether you’re looking to borrow money, grow your wealth, or optimize your financial strategy, Colend is designed to provide practical and efficient solutions for your needs.

The Key Advantages of Colend

Earn Passive Income

You can put your unused assets to work by supplying them to the protocol and earning interest from borrowers. This provides you with additional income and provides new utility to your tokens.

Unlock Money Without Selling Your Assets

You can borrow funds using your cryptocurrencies without having to sell them while continuing to benefit from their potential increase in value.

Maximize Your Portfolio

By leveraging your assets, you can boost potential profits if their value increases or seize new investment opportunities. This approach provides an efficient way to maximize your capital and explore new growth opportunities.

About the Team

We’re a Web3 collective with one pledge: build the product we want to use.

Colend is for people who prefer self-custody and clear guardrails.

Everything we ship starts from our Manifesto and we ship only what we can stand behind: battle-tested smart-contract patterns, independently audited, with no compromise on security or integrity. Instead of one big release, we roll out autonomous features that fit together, each strengthening the next. That’s how we’re becoming a go-to hub in the DeFi.

We build for the long term and not alone. We partner with token issuers, asset managers, oracles and risk experts to turn assets into real utility on Colend. Every listing or integration goes through pragmatic due diligence. This win-win approach grows our ecosystem and, step by step, helps drive BTCFi (BitcoinFi) adoption.

Leveraging Core Blockchain Reliability ⚙️

Available on CoreDAO, an EVM compatible, Colend deployed on this layer for its Consensus which anchors security to Bitcoin while delivering fast confirmations and low, predictable fees for users.

For interoperability, the Bridge powered by LayerZero lets assets move to major EVM networks, and full EVM compatibility keeps integrations straightforward for developers.

In short: Core is the right home to kick start Colend.
