DeFi lending is having a quiet comeback — not because of memes, but because it’s one of the few crypto sectors with a clear, repeatable business model: borrowers pay interest, lenders earn yield, and protocols capture a fee for coordinating capital.
On Solana, this model is accelerating faster than most people realize. The chain’s speed and low fees make it easier to loop leverage, rebalance collateral, and manage positions actively — which naturally increases demand for lending + automated liquidity infrastructure.
That’s why a small set of “money market layers” are becoming the default back-end for Solana’s DeFi activity. One protocol, in particular, is emerging as the place where capital parks, borrows, and compounds.
Below is a clean breakdown of what it is, why it matters, and how to evaluate the token behind it.
