The new protocol combines Maple’s strength and DeFi’s flexibility and inclusivity, enabling users permissionless access to secured institutional lending. Moreover, the SYRUP will be introduced which would govern the Maple ecosystem and grow the community.
In the same way, MPL token holders will be able to shift their tokens into SYRUP tokens on a 1:1 basis. Users will also get long-term interest and participation benefits.
About Institutional Yield & Reward System
To begin early yield, users need to deposit their USDC into Syrup to receive LP tokens (syrupUSDC). Maple also ensured that all the yield generated by Syrup was secured and fully collateralized with digital assets.
As the platform is mainly presented for institutional yield and rewards, early adopters of the protocol will be rewarded through ‘Drips’ that transform user engagement into tangible rewards.
Individuals taking part will be offered Drips for depositing USDC into Syrup along with locking the rewards for 6 months. Moreover, the protocol would target 15% yields in USDC.
The new protocol is supposed to partner and collaborate with other DeFi protocols to enhance operability and accessibility. Syrup holds the potential to become a key player in yield assets across DeFi.
