Enclabs Protocol is a lending and borrowing platform. The protocol enables users to supply and borrow cryptocurrency assets through core and isolated liquidity pools. Supported collateral types include yield-bearing stablecoins, liquid-staked assets, and Spectra PT tokens, with loan-to-value ratios configured per asset class. The platform comprises a main markets interface for standard lending and borrowing, isolated pools designed for higher-risk assets, a rewards module for incentivizing participation, and a vote-escrowed governance token called veTrevee that facilitates protocol governance.

Equilibrium is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform on the Polkadot network that provides a unified interface for a money market, perpetual exchange, and liquid staking. The protocol utilizes a cross-chain architecture designed to consolidate fragmented liquidity into a single pool. Unlike many lending platforms that use isolated vaults, Equilibrium employs a collateral basket model, allowing users to back their positions with multiple assets simultaneously. This design is supported by a risk-based interest rate engine and a system-wide insurance pool that replaces traditional liquidation auctions to maintain protocol solvency.

EVAA Protocol is a decentralized lending and borrowing platform developed on the TON blockchain, available through both a web interface and a Telegram Mini App. It enables users to deposit assets like TON, USDT, tsTON, DOGS, NOT, and USDe to generate yield, or to borrow funds using their holdings as collateral via automated smart contracts.

Fira Protocol is an on-chain fixed-rate lending and borrowing protocol deployed on Ethereum. It enables users to lock in predetermined interest rates across defined maturities rather than using floating-rate markets.

It includes a Flex Mode option that provides instant exit functionality for liquidity providers. The protocol serves DeFi users, treasury managers, and structured-product builders requiring predictable borrowing costs and yield outcomes. Use cases include cash-and-carry trades and delta-neutral yield positions. Fira functions as infrastructure for an on-chain yield curve that other protocols can compose into vaults or structured products. Smart contracts have undergone six independent security audits and the protocol operates a bug bounty program.
