Parallel's mission is to innovate and bring DeFi to the next level. We are creating the most secure and easy-to-use decentralized platform to empower everyone access to financial services. Simply supply the assets, we optimize the best yield for you and you don't have to do all the complicated DeFi stuff, in a secure and decentralized way. Our platform introduces a new financial primitive for staked DOT, which allows users to accrue interest from staking while still having a liquid asset not subject to lockups or lengthy unlock periods. This staked DOT financial primitive will be referred to as xDOT. Lenders will be able to earn interest income on their xDOT, and borrowers will be able to get loans against their DOT denominated in stable coins without selling their DOT. The Parallel lending protocol uses a pool-based strategy that aggregates each user's supplied assets. This lending protocol will have a DOT, sDOT, and USDT pool where users can deposit their assets and earn interest.

One-click fixed rate lending and borrowing, DeFi yield management, interest rate derivatives, and benchmarks. Transforming liquidity fragmentation into intelligent DeFi yield optimization. Earn passive yield on your crypto assets, risk-adjusted to your preference and with no impermanent loss. Borrow against your crypto collateral and get the best rates on the market from fixed-rate products to leveraged borrowing. Powered by IPOR interest rate derivatives. Hedge, speculate, or arbitrage DeFi rates with DeFi interest rate swaps priced by IPOR's request-for-quote automated market maker. The IPOR Protocol fixes lending and borrowing rates using an interest rate swap with the liquidity pool as a contract counterparty. The trader determines whether they want to open a pay fixed or receive a fixed contract based on the current IPOR rate and their goals and market expectations.
