Maple is a decentralized corporate credit market. Maple offers borrowers transparent and efficient financing completed entirely on-chain. For liquidity providers, Maple offers a sustainable yield source through lending to diversified pools of crypto’s premium institutions. The Pool Delegates that manage these pools perform diligence and set terms with Borrowers. The protocol is governed by the Maple Token (MPL), which enables token holders to participate in governance, share in fee revenues, and stake insurance to Liquidity Pools. Users can access fixed-income yield opportunities on Maple by depositing capital into Liquidity Pools. These Liquidity Pools are managed by experienced investors, known as Pool Delegates. Institutional Borrowers looking for transparent and efficient financing on-chain can request capital on Maple and leverage their reputations to borrow under-collateralized without constant fear of liquidation and margin calls. Pool Delegates conduct due diligence and agree terms with Borrowers before funding loans from their designated Liquidity Pool. Liquidity Providers earn a sustainable yield through diversified exposure to crypto's premium institutions and enjoy a set-and-forget solution as diligence is conducted by Pool Delegates.
