Covenant is a fully on‑chain and permissionless credit marketplace that matches leverage users (borrowers) with yield seekers (lenders).
Leverage has proven strong product-market fit in crypto: traders borrow to take levered long positions on volatile assets, or to run profitable carry trades on yield-bearing assets. Covenant provides a transparent, market-driven way to fund this activity:
- for any crypto asset;
- without relying on centrally- or governance-set interest rates;
- without requiring a stablecoin liquidiy pool; and
- without liquidations.
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compiance, and pirvacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
