Chedda is the cross-chain lending protocol that enables users to collateralize any cryptocurrency asset on any blockchain network. The unique architecture of the protocol, featuring isolated lending pools and cross-chain tokens, allows for using any cryptocurrency asset on any blockchain network as collateral for crypto loans. This unique solution allows us to support tokens that are otherwise absent from the DeFi lending landscape. With our solution, we can provide borrowing options for blue-chip crypto assets, as well as long-tail assets not present on other lending platforms.
This opens up lending to tokens in emerging sectors such as AI, agents, meme coins and gaming tokens.
The first generation of lending protocols such as AAVE and Compound have a single cross-collateral pool, where any asset can be supplied or borrowed against any other asset in the pool.
Money markets on Chedda Finance consist of isolated lending pools, in which assets are siloed based on their risk profile. This enables us to support a wider array of tokens as collateral.
This also allows us to create pools for specific niches, such as DeFi, GameFi, AI or Memes. Read more about how isolated pools work on Chedda.
There is a proliferation in blockchain networks. Earlier generation dapps address this by deploying a separate instance of their protocol and dapp to each supported chain. This leads to fragmentation in liquidity and technical inefficiencies.
Chedda solves this problem by introducing cross-chain tokens in which tokens on any chain can be bridged to Chedda's base chain and used in our lending pools.
Read more out how cross-chain tokens work on Chedda below.
$CHEDDA is the utility and governance token of the protocol which also provides an incentive layer for the protocol. $CHEDDA token emissions are used to incentivize actions on the protocol, and these emissions are in turn controlled by $CHEDDA token holders.

Chedda Finance brings all these core ideas together on one platform. Our goal is to create a cross-chain money market hub that becomes the destination for DeFi lending for tokens on any chain.
