What is Hydro Lending?

Hydro Lending is a decentralized, non-custodial money market built on the Injective Network and part of the Hydro Protocol DeFi suite. It allows users to supply and borrow digital assets in a secure and efficient environment, maximizing asset utility and enabling yield generation without compromising custody.

Vision + Goals

Hydro Lending's vision is to create a fully decentralized financial system that empowers users to optimize the productivity of their assets. Our goals include:

• Unlocking new liquidity sources within the Injective ecosystem.

• Providing sustainable and meaningful yield opportunities.

• Enabling secure and efficient access to credit markets.

Hydro Next Wave 2.0

Hydro Lending is a foundational pillar of Hydro Protocol's "Next Wave 2.0" initiative, which expands Hydro beyond basic DeFi primitives into a full-fledged ecosystem that empowers users with lending, borrowing, staking, and innovative DeFi strategies like Loop Staking.

How Hydro Lending fits into Hydro’s DeFi Suite & Injective Ecosystem

• Provides a money market for the Injective Ecosystem: Hydro Lending introduces decentralized credit markets where users can supply assets for passive yields or borrow assets for flexible liquidity needs.

• Collects liquidity and enhances the Hydro ecosystem: By aggregating liquidity into a centralized lending hub, Hydro Lending strengthens overall DeFi activity on Injective and magnifies Hydro Protocol's utility.

• Additional way to earn meaningful yield: Users supplying assets to Hydro Lending will earn variable interest based on supply-demand dynamics, creating an additional revenue stream alongside Hydro's staking and liquidity farming programs.
