About Lygos Finance

Lygos Finance is a non-custodial Bitcoin-backed lending platform that allows holders to borrow USD liquidity against their BTC without selling or relinquishing custody. The platform uses Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs), a native Bitcoin Layer 1 cryptographic mechanism, to lock collateral in a co-signed contract that neither Lygos nor the lender can unilaterally move. All loan outcomes, including repayment, liquidation, and lender default, are defined and enforced on-chain, making rehypothecation structurally impossible. The product targets Bitcoin holders seeking liquidity while avoiding the counterparty risks associated with custodial crypto lenders; the team includes alumni from Anchorage Digital, LedgerX, Atomic Finance, JPMorgan Chase, and Starkware.

Silo Finance
Silo Finance
Lending & Yield

Silo Finance is a decentralized money market protocol that enables lending and borrowing against a broad range of onchain assets, including long-tail tokens, real-world assets, tokenized stocks, tokenized commodities, and liquidity provider tokens. The protocol operates through isolated lending markets, meaning each asset pair is contained in its own silo, which limits contagion risk across the platform. A key technical differentiator is its liquidation mechanism: when DEX-based liquidations cannot be executed due to illiquidity, collateral is delivered directly to lenders at full value, providing built-in protection against bad debt. Lenders can earn yield from three sources simultaneously, namely borrower interest, liquidation fees, and collateral upside, through single-asset or multi-asset vaults.
