Solend is a protocol that operates in a decentralized and algorithmic manner, allowing for lending and borrowing on Solana. Lending and borrowing are crucial components of the DeFi ecosystem, but current products are often slow and costly. Solend, on the other hand, can scale to be 100 times faster and cheaper on Solana. Solend strives to be the most user-friendly and secure solution available on Solana. With Solend, you can earn interest, borrow, leverage long, and short.

Solend is a DeFi primitive that operates on Solana, providing on-chain lending and borrowing. By integrating Solend, you can improve capital efficiency by earning yields on idle funds and enable a wide range of DeFi yield strategies. Solend offers a kickback to integrations, allowing them to earn borrow fees or utilize their platform to generate higher yields or improve capital efficiency for their users. There are many integration ideas, such as DeFi Vaults, GameFi games built on top of Solend mechanics, streaming yield-bearing cTokens for payroll, fixed yield protocols using cTokens, historical APY dashboards, margin trading that borrows from Solend's reserves, account liquidation savers, recursive deposit and borrow tools, and prize-linked savings accounts. Solend is one of the easiest platforms to integrate on Solana, with their open sourced codebase and SDK. They also have a lightweight client that demonstrates usage of the SDK.
