Panel discussion featuring founders of three Soroban lending protocols: Slender (compounded lending), Trilobyte (cash flow financing for Cuba), and XLR Labs (tokenized T-bills and repo lending). Speakers discuss how lending primitives drive DeFi ecosystem growth and financial inclusion.
Priscilla from SDF moderates a panel with Alex (Slender), Ulexi (Trilobyte/Ebioro), and Amit (XLR Labs) discussing lending and borrowing protocols on Soroban. Slender offers portfolio collateral support, risk-focused pricing, and flash loans. Trilobyte targets financial inclusion in Cuba through cash flow-based lending tied to merchant revenue. XLR Labs brings real-world yields by tokenizing US Treasury bills and building repo lending for institutional DeFi. Panelists emphasize lending as a critical DeFi primitive, highlight Soroban's retail-focused advantage over other ecosystems, and discuss how real-world assets and institutional participation will drive ecosystem growth. Future predictions include cross-chain interoperability, privacy solutions, and mainstream adoption comparable to MoneyGram.
