Last updated 7 hours ago

Tectonic is a decentralised non-custodial algorithmic-based money market protocol that allows users to participate as liquidity suppliers or borrowers. Suppliers provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow liquidity in an over-collateralized fashion.

Tectonic's protocol design and architecture references Compound, a proven and audited protocol. It is complemented with an attractive incentive program powered by xTONIC, the native token of Tectonic protocol.

In summary, Tectonic protocol aims to provide secure & seamless cryptocurrencies money market functionalities, enabling multiple use cases for its users.

  • “HODLers” can generate additional returns from interest by supplying assets to the protocol without having to actively manage their assets

  • Traders can borrow certain cryptocurrencies to capitalize their short-term trading view (e.g., shorting) or yield maximizing opportunities (e.g., farming)

  • Users can obtain access to other cryptocurrencies for multiple purposes (e.g., participate in ICO, bonding), without having to liquidate their original assets
