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?
