Solend Deep Dive

Deadline: December 1st at 8pm IST

About the Bounty

Lending and borrowing are the foundation of the DeFi landscape. Solend is a fascinating project aiming to become the #1 lending protocol in the Solana ecosystem. With more than $700m in TVL and investors ranging from Coinbase to Alameda, their platform has been growing like a weed in recent weeks.

DeFi can feel overwhelming for new users, so Solend is sponsoring a bounty to dive deep into their platform. The winning submission will not only talk about how Solend works, but why someone might want to use it in the first place. What are the use cases for lending protocols? What kind of strategies and benefits does Solend support? How does it fit into the Solana DeFi ecosystem?

🎯
Your Mission: Become an expert on Solend and summarize your findings in a written essay. You're welcome to write this review individually or in teams of 2. Bounties will be split among team members.
