Overview of the components of the Tydro Protocol

Lending Engine

Tydro is built on the Aave V3 codebase. Aave V3 is open source, audited, and has over $10B of deposits across multiple networks. Tydro inherits a battle-tested lending implementation without new core logic. Markets, rate models, liquidation flows, and position accounting all follow Aave V3.

For how the markets are configured, see Markets and Interest Rates.

Network

Tydro runs on Ink, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack and part of the Optimism Superchain. Ink is deployed by Kraken, providing the settlement layer for the protocol and adds chain-level monitoring and security tooling.

Tydro's security stack includes real-time monitoring and threat response from Hypernative, alongside best practices in risk modeling, frontend, smart contract, operational security, and external audits.

Qualified Custodian

Tydro integrates with Kraken custody, allowing eligible users to borrow, lend, and hold assets within a qualified custodian. See Qualified Custody.

Asset Managers & Vaults

External managers can run strategies and deploy capital through vaults. A manager can also post first-loss capital where a strategy provides coverage for its depositors. Vaults are planned. See Vaults and Institutional Overview.
