Borrowers

Borrowers on Twyne can access more leverage than their base collateral allows in a lending protocol. With Twyne, they can tap into CLPs’ delegated borrowing power to temporarily boost their Loan-to-Value ratio (LTV).

Twyne can boost the LTV:

  • Up to 94% on volatile pairs (WETH-USDC)

    • >14x Leverage (compared to 5.9x on Aave)

  • Up to 99% on correlated pairs (WETH-stETH)

How it works

  • Deposit collateral (e.g., eUSDC) into Twyne’s Collateral Vault

  • Reserve delegated borrowing power from CLPs

  • Access greater borrowing capacity than allowed natively by the lending protocol

Borrowing Interest Rate

Borrowers pay two interest components:

  1. Base borrow rate from the lending protocol

  2. CLP Supply Rate (a fee to access the delegated borrowing power)

The CLP Supply Rate is dynamic and grows with utilization • Demand < Util. target = Low rates • Demand > Util. target = Sharp increase

The interest is paid only on the extra credit reserved, not the total debt!

This makes the net interest much lower than it seems even on a steep curve.

This enables:

  • 🛡️ Larger liquidation buffers

  • 🔄 Capital optimization strategies

  • 📈 More aggressive leverage or liquidity

Risk & protection

Borrowers also benefit from Twyne’s built-in liquidation safety net:

  • 🛡️ Twyne’s liquidators step in first to resolve bad debt positions

  • ⚠️ If the market moves too fast and no liquidation is triggered in time, the underlying protocol steps in — which could result in losses for both borrower and CLPs

We've researched and rigorously tested the added risks, read more about them in Safety Mechanism.
