Lending with DevvISE: Early Access to Your Own Assets

Need your tokens before the theft protection unlocks them? With the DevvISE system, you can get a low-cost loan against your DevvE or Fias, while your original tokens stay safely locked and protected.

A Secure, Compliant, and Innovative Digital Asset Lending System

The DevvISE platform introduces a novel, patented approach to digital asset lending that prioritizes user control, safety, and utility. Built directly into the validator layer through a system of low-level programming constructs called monads, DevvISE’s lending system removes many of the inefficiencies and risks associated with traditional DeFi lending platforms.

Key Features

Validator-Level Lending Logic

Unlike traditional lending protocols that rely on smart contracts, DevvISE operates at the validator level using monads. This deep integration allows for unprecedented levels of automation, control, and efficiency, while enabling sophisticated features like theft and loss protection (DevvProtect), Contingent Transaction Sets (CTS), and more.

Lend Against Locked or Contributed Assets

Users can contribute digital assets (such as DevvE and Fias) to Liquidity Caches (LCs) and still borrow against those assets without withdrawing them. This enables users to earn revenue from exchange and payment activity while simultaneously accessing the capital value of their holdings.

Fiat and Crypto Lending

Loans can be issued in crypto or fiat by banks and financial institutions participating in the system. Lenders can provide 1:1 loans (e.g., Bitcoin collateral for Bitcoin loans), dramatically reducing risk and enabling highly competitive loan terms.

Tax-Efficient Asset Handling

DevvISE supports multiple implementations of theft protection and lending logic to optimize for favorable tax treatment. For example, theft-protected assets can remain in the user’s DevvX Wallet, avoiding taxable events related to escrow or custodial control.

Lending Through Secure Marketplaces

The lending system is integrated into DevvISE’s web2-style user interface. Institutional and individual lenders can set lending criteria, offer capital into the system, and issue secured loans using collateral that is validator-verified and protected by DevvISE’s theft prevention infrastructure.

How It Works

  1. Contribute Assets: Users contribute DevvE or other digital assets to liquidity caches or the Liquidity Sea.
  2. Borrow Funds: Based on contribution size and validator-level safeguards, users can access loans via participating lenders or automatically matched offers.
  3. Earn Yield: While the asset is contributed, it actively participates in market making and payment liquidity provisioning, generating revenue shared with the contributor.
  4. Maintain Control: With loss and theft protection NFTs, users retain control and security over their contributed assets throughout the process.

Possibilities with DevvISE

The DevvISE lending framework makes it possible to:

  • Earn passive income while maintaining asset custody
  • Access capital without triggering a taxable event
  • Avoid impermanent loss and AMM risks
  • Secure high-volume liquidity safely and compliantly

Combined with its role in powering DevvExchange and cross-asset payments, lending is a cornerstone of DevvExchange’s broader vision for real-world digital finance infrastructure.
