Pike offers compelling advantages for all participants in the DeFi lending ecosystem. Whether you’re looking to earn passive income, access liquidity, or deploy advanced trading strategies, Pike provides the tools and efficiency to maximize your opportunities.

Benefits for Lenders

Earn Passive Income

• Interest on Deposits: Supply assets to the Pike Market and earn interest over time through pTokens that automatically grow in value.

• Compound Growth: Interest accrues in real-time and is automatically reinvested, maximizing your returns without any additional action required.

• Market-Driven Rates: Earn competitive yields that reflect real borrowing demand and market conditions.

Flexible Liquidity

• Withdraw Anytime: Assets can be withdrawn based on liquidity conditions, with most withdrawals processing immediately when liquidity is available.

• Partial Withdrawals: Take out only what you need while keeping the rest earning interest.

• Collateral Usage: Use supplied assets as collateral for borrowing while still earning interest.

Secure and Transparent

• Non-Custodial Control: Assets remain in the user’s control via smart contracts - Pike never takes custody of your funds.

• Blockchain Transparency: All transactions, interest rates, and protocol changes are recorded on-chain for full visibility.

• Audited Security: Comprehensive security reviews by Security Partners MixBytes and Fuzzland ensure protocol reliability.

Benefits for Borrowers

Access Liquidity Without Selling Assets

Flexible Loan Options

• Diverse Collateral Choices: Use various assets as collateral to optimize borrowing capacity and risk profile.
