What is Yupana.Finance?

Yupana.Finance is an open-source, decentralized, and non-custodial liquidity protocol built to securely borrow and lend crypto assets via smart contracts. Depositors provide liquidity in the protocol, receiving passive income, while borrowers take overcollateralized loans.

Why Yupana.Finance?

Yupana.Finance was developed by the MadFish team, creators of Quipuswap DEX and Temple wallet. Yupana smart contracts have been audited and secured. The protocol is completely open-source, which allows anyone to interact with a user interface client, API, or directly with the smart contracts on the Tezos blockchain.

Yupana lending protocol aimed to increase Tezos ecosystem and attract more liquidity to Tesoz DApps.
