Venus Protocol is a decentralized platform on Binance Smart Chain that lets users lend crypto, borrow assets, and mint VAI stablecoins—all permissionlessly and without KYC.
Users can supply assets like BNB or USDT and earn passive income from interest.
Collateralized assets allow borrowing or minting VAI, a USD-pegged decentralized stablecoin. Loans are overcollateralized to reduce risk.
