MELD Ecosystem

MELD Blockchain

MELD is a Proof-of-Stake, high-speed, low-cost EVM blockchain designed for DeFi dApps. It integrates core DeFi mechanics providing direct access to lending, borrowing, cross-chain bridging, liquidity, and fiat services.

MELDapp

A next-gen multi-chain crypto wallet for a new age of modern money and digital assets. The MELDapp supports multiple blockchains, bridging and swapping between chains and a beautiful interface.

Build for all Chains

The MELD token will be available natively Cardano (where we started), Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, BSC and as the native token on the MELD Blockchain.

Decentralized and Trustless

As world-class DeFi protocol, MELD uses smart contracts to ensure complete transparency and fairness for all parties on all chains.

Borderless and Democratic

We live in a global economy and just like being cross chain, we are cross border. Economic and political changes can’t alter MELD’s smart contracts. Our DeFi protocol is safe from changing laws or unexpected events.

Banking Partnership*

We have a strategy partnership with MELD Finance (MELD.FI) to better bring together crypto and fiat systems for our users. With a secure, transparent and holistic view on our products. MELD handles DeFI while MELD.FI handles regulated fiat services.

New Type of Bank for a New Type of Banking*

We live in a global economy and just like being cross chain, we are cross border. Economic and political changes can’t alter MELD’s smart contracts. Our DeFi protocol is safe from changing laws or unexpected events.

Money

Composability is key to the MELD protocol and our goal of being a first class citizen in the DeFi ecosystem. Each of the core functions in the MELD protocol will be interoperable with other services such as AMMs, LPs, Insurance and all the rest of the financial tools available.
