[2] [6]

Avalon Labs is built around four main components: CDP USDa, a yield-bearing collateralized debt position (CDP) backed by that allows generation while earning yield; USDaLend, a lending protocol using -backed stablecoins; Lending, a protocol connecting with to enhance scalability and liquidity; and Decentralized Lending, which features an isolation pool mechanism for secure lending with Derivatives (). [2]

History

Avalon Finance was part of Season 8 of the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program, an incubation initiative co-led by , , and . This participation helped accelerate its growth and visibility within the DeFi ecosystem. [6]

In February 2025, Avalon Labs announced it was exploring the creation of a -backed public debt fund. The company began assessing the potential of using the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Regulation A exemption, often called a "mini-IPO," to offer regulated -backed debt products to both accredited and non-accredited retail investors. This initiative is part of Avalon's broader to expand its lending operations into traditional financial markets within a compliant framework. [7]

Technology and Mechanism

This architecture ensures a smooth user experience while retaining the security of the underlying network. [8]

Interest Rate Mechanism

The platform employs a dynamic interest rate mechanism that adjusts based on supply and demand within each lending pool. Interest rates are not static; they fluctuate in real-time based on the pool's utilization ratio. When the supply of an asset is high, lending rates decrease to incentivize borrowing. Conversely, when borrowing demand is high and an asset becomes scarce, lending rates increase to encourage more deposits and maintain liquidity. This model ensures an efficient and balanced marketplace for lenders and borrowers. [8]
