Maple is an onchain asset management platform designed to bring institutional-grade lending and yield products to the digital asset economy. Founded in 2019 by a team with deep traditional finance and crypto experience, Maple combines rigorous capital markets expertise with decentralized finance (DeFi) innovation. It offers overcollateralized, fixed-rate loans to institutional borrowers, enabling consistent yield generation and short-term liquidity for lenders. Maple’s platform emphasizes transparency, with all loans, collateral, and transactions verifiable on the blockchain.

The platform targets both sophisticated institutional allocators and individual users seeking high-quality, accessible yield products. Maple’s flagship product, syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, provides liquid, yield-bearing stablecoin assets backed by secured lending pools. The protocol’s risk management framework leverages decades of financial services experience combined with smart contract automation to mitigate risk and maintain security. Maple also supports global client service and compliance, making it suitable for regulated financial institutions.

Developers and product teams can integrate Maple’s lending marketplace via its open documentation and SDKs, enabling frontend, backend, and smart contract integrations. Maple also offers a GraphQL API for querying protocol data. The platform’s modular architecture supports composability and customization for various DeFi applications. Notable integrations include partnerships with Aave and Base, expanding Maple’s institutional lending capabilities across ecosystems. To get started, users can access Maple’s app for lending or borrowing, review detailed documentation, and engage with community channels for support.
