Today, we unveil Soul, redefining cross-chain lending and borrowing. Soul seamlessly interlinks diverse lending protocols and blockchains, enabling users to lend and borrow across platforms like @aave or @compoundfinance and various networks, thus unifying liquidity and users' borrowing power. Distinctly, Soul does not rely on asset bridging or synthetics; it enables the lending and borrowing of native assets and leverages @LayerZero_Labs for seamless cross-chain communication. This omnichain approach unlocks new and limitless #DeFi strategies, establishing Soul as the ultimate solution for cross-lending dilemmas. Soul v1 will be permissionless, censorship-resistant, will have multiple fallback mechanisms to ensure redundancy, and will allow for a myriad of DApps to be built on top of it. Soul's vision aims to simplify user processes and amplify transparency, thereby restoring monetary control to its users. Rooted in cypherpunk values, Soul symbolizes digital freedom and autonomy in an era where these principles are increasingly essential. We have been carefully developing Soul in stealth mode for over a year now and already have a working prototype. Expect a detailed report in our first protocol update.
