The Problem

Native and bridged assets on Flare (sFLR, FLR, flrETH, USDC.e, USDT, WETH) had no deep on-chain money market — holders could not unlock liquidity against them, and depositors had no overcollateralized lending venue to earn yield in the Flare ecosystem.

The Solution

Kinetic ports the battle-tested Compound v2 lending design to Flare with FTSO-native oracle integration, allowing permissionless supply/borrow of Flare-native and bridged assets and earning JOULE incentives via Kii staking.

Why it Matters

The dominant lending market on Flare, leveraging the Flare FTSO v3 oracle directly and pairing the Compound v2 fork with a Hypernative real-time monitoring layer and a 'work-to-earn' Kii-staking governance signal.
