what's Harbor?
Harbor is a DeFi protocol offering pegged synthetic assets with real yield and liquidation-protected leveraged positions. Users can short assets like ETH or BTC against USD, long ETH/BTC via stETH, and participate in markets such as haBTC and haETH without funding fees, margin calls, or manual rebalancing. Liquidity providers earn yield while positions automatically adjust to maintain exposure. The protocol features stability pools for anchoring pegs and accruing Marks for early users toward the $TIDE governance and value accrual token airdrop. It emphasizes safe leverage ("leverage without PTSD") and plans expansion to additional markets like EUR, Gold, and Silver, bootstrapping organic TVL on EVM-compatible chains.
Harbor moves multisig transaction queues on-chain via Gnosis Chain, eliminating centralized servers.
