This page lays out what the protocol offers institutions, with further detail in the section pages. Tydro provides the lending engine, the network, and custody into one stack. Aave V3 supplies an audited lending core. Ink adds chain-level compliance, monitoring and security. Kraken qualified custody connects the protocol to a regulated custody and distribution network. The result narrows the risk premium of operating on-chain and gives institutions a venue that meets their standards for custody, controls, and risk management. ### What Tydro offers institutions * **Qualified custody with direct on chain vault + assets.** Earn yield and borrow within Kraken qualified custody. Custody supports triparty and OTC loans. * **First-loss capital.** Post verifiable first-loss capital in markets to provide coverage for depositors. * **Insurance.** Arrange coverage for institutional positions through established insurance providers. * **Permissioned and RWA markets.** Launch markets designed for tradable securities. * **Vault curation.** Run strategies as a curator or allocator under a defined role structure. * **Term and duration loans.** Lend or borrow for a fixed term with defined yield. * **Tranched exposure.** Take a senior or junior position sized to your risk profile. ### Built to scale New markets, clusters, and products deploy at the asset, vault, and market level, so the protocol adapts to an institution's assets and mandate rather than the other way around. As liquidity deepens, parameters and caps scale with it under governance.
