A cross-chain lending and borrowing protocol that puts your crypto to work on Avalanche, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and beyond — all from a single unified account.
Supply assets on Avalanche and borrow on Ethereum — the Folks Finance platform tracks collateral across chains through Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, and Circle CCTP messaging layers.
Select between variable APY that adjusts with pool utilization or lock in a stable borrow rate. The current USDC variable borrow rate sits near 7.98%; stable tracks around 13.55%.
Every deposit, borrow, and repayment earns points. USDT0 and USDC carry up to x2.5 multipliers. Points build up automatically — no manual claiming needed.
All health-factor calculations draw on live oracle data from Chainlink. This removes dependence on on-chain spot prices, a frequent manipulation target in earlier protocols.
The protocol accepts liquid staking tokens — sAVAX, stAVAX, wstETH, weETH, cbETH, rsETH, and others — as collateral, letting stakers continue earning staking rewards while borrowing.
Token holders vote on new asset listings, chain expansions, and risk parameters through the governance portal. No single party controls protocol upgrades.
Smart contracts are designed for auditability and work with standard tooling including Ethereum-compatible frameworks. Internal testing pipelines use Hardhat for fork simulations.
Use any EVM-compatible wallet. The Folks Finance platform supports MetaMask, WalletConnect, and Coinbase Wallet. Choose your preferred network from the chain selector in the top navigation.
A single on-chain account links all your positions across networks. This one-time transaction costs only the base network gas fee — typically a few cents on Avalanche.
Select any listed token and supply it. Your balance immediately begins earning the current deposit APY. USDT0 currently yields 11.5%; AVAX yields around 0.87%.
Leverage deposited collateral to open a loan — pick variable or stable rate. Or simply keep the deposit and collect yield plus points without ever borrowing.
The account dashboard displays your health factor, accumulated points, and all open positions in one place. Repay whenever you like; there are no fixed repayment deadlines.
Most DeFi lending platforms operate on a single network. The team behind Folks Finance built native cross-chain support from the ground up, so your capital isn't stuck on one chain simply because that's where it originated.
Loan-to-value ratios, liquidation thresholds, and reserve factors are defined on-chain and visible to anyone. No concealed parameters. Chainlink price feeds make liquidations predictable rather than arbitrary.
The points system distributes rewards for lending, borrowing, and repaying. Users who engage with the protocol regularly accumulate the most points over time. Straightforward and fair.
Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, and Circle CCTP operate in parallel. Should one bridge pause, the others keep positions accessible. Three independent systems outperform one.

Folks Finance is a decentralized cross-chain lending and borrowing protocol. It lets users supply assets to earn yield or borrow against collateral across networks including Avalanche, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Monad.
Connect a compatible wallet, choose your chain, create an on-chain account, then supply any supported asset. Once supplied, you can borrow against it or simply collect yield and points.
Folks Finance's smart contracts have gone through independent security audits. The protocol relies on Chainlink oracle price feeds to guard against price manipulation and uses battle-tested interest rate models.
The protocol runs on Avalanche, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum One, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Sei Network, and Monad testnet — with additional networks added through governance votes.
Supported assets include USDC, USDT, USDT0, ETH, WETH, BTC variants (SolvBTC, BTC.b), AVAX, staked derivatives (sAVAX, stAVAX, wstETH), and an expanding list of ecosystem tokens.
Yes. Supply collateral on one supported network and open a loan position that is visible and manageable from a unified account, regardless of which chain holds the collateral.
Points build up automatically when you deposit, borrow, or repay. Certain assets carry multipliers — for instance, USDC and USDT0 positions currently earn up to x2.5 points per dollar of activity.
The protocol provides both variable and stable borrow rates. Variable rates shift with pool utilization; stable rates are locked at the time of borrowing, giving users predictable repayment costs.
Folks Finance pools liquidity across networks, granting access to deeper markets, greater asset variety, and cross-chain collateral flexibility — all through one account instead of managing several separate DeFi apps.
When a position's health factor falls below 1.0 — derived from live Chainlink price data — the protocol permits third-party liquidators to cover part of the debt and collect a bonus from the collateral.
Folks Finance has a governance mechanism accessible through the staking portal. Token holders can vote on protocol parameters, new asset listings, and chain expansions.
Cross-chain message passing relies on Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, and Circle's CCTP — three independent layers, providing the protocol with redundancy if one bridge experiences downtime.
