what's scallop protocol?
Scallop Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Sui blockchain, specializing in lending and borrowing services. It operates as a peer-to-peer money market, enabling users to supply assets for interest or borrow against collateral in a secure, efficient manner. The protocol leverages Sui's unique object-centric data model and parallel transaction processing to achieve high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for scalable DeFi applications. At its core, Scallop allows users to deposit supported assets into liquidity pools, where they earn yields from borrowers, while borrowers can access liquidity by over-collateralizing their positions. Risk management features include dynamic interest rates that adjust based on supply and demand, as well as liquidation mechanisms to protect lenders. The protocol emphasizes composability, integrating with other Sui ecosystem tools for enhanced functionality like leveraged positions and yield optimization. Security is a priority, with Scallop undergoing multiple audits and implementing robust oracle integrations for accurate pricing. Its user-friendly interface abstracts complex mechanics, making DeFi accessible to a broader audience while maintaining the transparency and decentralization inherent to blockchain technology.
Scallop undergoes contract upgrade for UX, following recent Anti Price Manipulation feature implementation.
