The Problem

Most lending protocols pool all assets into a single risk surface — one bad collateral or oracle failure can drain unrelated markets. Stellar lacked a flexible, permissionless lending primitive native to Soroban.

The Solution

Blend lets anyone deploy isolated lending pools on Stellar, each with its own first-loss backstop. Pool curation is market-driven (no DAO needed): backstop depositors and emissions allocation reward safe pools and starve unsafe ones.

Why it Matters

Ungoverned-by-design lending on Stellar/Soroban with per-pool backstops, dual-modifier Dutch-auction liquidations, and a reactive interest-rate modifier — combining the isolation of Morpho Blue with a built-in insurance fund.
