UniLend Finance is a permissionless DeFi protocol that integrates spot trading services with lending and borrowing functionalities within a single platform. It uniquely allows any ERC20 token to be listed without central control, offering decentralized trading and lending/borrowing for a broad range of assets.
UniLend Finance operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon, leveraging smart contracts for its operations. The protocol supports permissionless listing of tokens and employs a dual asset pool model to manage assets separately, preventing cross-collateralization and ensuring security. It also utilises on-chain price feeds for accurate market data and has been audited for security by leading firms.
UniLend Finance offers diverse use cases such as lending and borrowing any ERC20 token, supporting uncollateralized flash loans, and enabling permissionless token listing. It also utilises NFTs for representing liquidity provider positions and offers efficient liquidation processes. Additionally, its multichain support allows for a wide range of DeFi strategies across different blockchains.
UniLend Finance was established in 2020 by Chandresh Aharwar and Suryansh Kumar. It introduced innovative features like permissionless token listing and dual asset pools, aimed at enhancing the DeFi ecosystem by including more ERC20 tokens. The protocol has evolved with significant updates like UniLend v2 and has expanded its market presence through partnerships and security audits.
