Silo is a DeFi lending protocol focused on risk isolation — each lending market is contained in its own "silo," preventing risk from spreading between markets. Founded in 2023, Silo operates primarily on the Sonic and Arbitrum networks with over $500M in TVL.
Silo Isolation Model
Silo's key innovation is its isolation model: each lending market is completely independent, with its own risk parameters, collateral, and liquidation rules. If one market experiences issues, it does not affect other markets on the platform.
Permissionless Listings
Anyone can create a new lending market on Silo, listing any token as collateral. This permissionless approach allows long-tail assets to be used in DeFi lending without requiring governance approval for each listing.
