About the Bounty
Solend is an algorithmic, decentralized protocol for lending and borrowing on Solana. They aim to be the easiest to use and most secure solution available. Using their protocol, users can earn interest on crypto assets, borrow, get leverage, and even short other assets.
Recently, Solend has launched two exciting new products. First is their “cToken”, which allows users to earn interest on a token while still being able to use it in other DeFi applications. Second is their Isolated Pools offering. These are separate lending markets where assets can be “quarantined” for a single purpose, in contrast to cross-collateral pools where any assets can be borrowed against any others.
Solend is now sponsoring a deep dive bounty for their cTokens and isolated pools offerings to help users get up to speed with the recent developments. The winning submission will provide a complete breakdown and adhere to our deep dive essay guidelines.
