Introduction to Silo

What is the Silo Protocol?

The Silo Protocol is a non-custodial lending primitive that creates programable risk-isolated markets known as silos. Any user with a wallet can lend or borrow in a silo in a non-custodial manner. Silo markets use the peer-to-pool, overcollateralized model where the value of a borrower's collateral always exceeds the value of their loan.

Our users

Suppliers

Users, or protocols, that lend tokens to earn interest.

Borrowers

Users, or protocol, that borrow tokens against supplied collateral.

Curators

Curators can deploy managed vaults that operate on top of the Silo markets. They have limited ability to manage liquidity deployments, included markets, and other parameters within the vault.

Applications

External applications, such as yield optimization, DEXs, and more, can build on top of the Silo Protocol to source or provide liquidity.
