Score history
This rating is re-checked every month. A point is recorded for every check, so a flat line means we looked and nothing moved. Hover anywhere on the chart to see what moved that month, and by how much.
The Problem
Cronos-chain users had limited native lending options when Tectonic launched — capital sat idle in wallets or on centralised platforms, with no on-chain way to borrow against CRO or bridged majors.
The Solution
Tectonic ports the battle-tested Compound v2 design to Cronos with risk-segmented pools, letting users supply assets for yield, borrow against collateral, and stake TONIC to capture 50% of protocol revenue.
Why it Matters
Largest lending market by TVL on Cronos with five external audits (SlowMist x3, BlockSec x2) and a revenue-sharing staking model, deeply integrated with the Crypto.com ecosystem.
