Maple Finance is a decentralized lending protocol designed to bring institutional-grade credit markets on-chain. It offers both overcollateralized and undercollateralized loans, providing capital-efficient borrowing options for institutions. Lenders can participate through permissioned pools or Syrup.fi, a permissionless yield platform that allows users to deposit USDC and earn yield from secured loans to large institutions. The SYRUP token governs the protocol and offers staking rewards, while the Drips rewards system incentivizes early users. Maple aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi by providing transparent and efficient lending solutions on-chain.
