Before the launch, Yupana was tested extensively by Madfish developers with the entire community’s help and has already launched on the Tezos mainnet. So now anyone can interact with lending protocol’s tools inside the Tezos world, taking advantage of the decentralized money market protocols.

Using Yupana, lenders provide liquidity and receive passive income, while borrowers take over collateralized loans. In turn, liquidators are incentivized to close insufficient collateral positions to keep the platform running.

In a statement, Sophia Gorban, the Yupana.Finance product owner said the product will unlock new opportunities for all users of the Tezos (XTZ) ecosystem:

“We’ve worked hard to provide a full-fledged liquidity protocol and I hope that users will enjoy a new level of experience inside the Tezos DeFi ecosystem, which has now become complete and comprehensive,” Gorban said.

For now, Yupana supports the following assets: TEZ, cTEZ, kUSD, tzBTC, uUSD, and uBTC. , the APY will be determined by the market demand for the corresponding asset.
