Templar, a lending protocol powered by NEAR's chain abstraction, launches on Stellar enabling users to deposit XLM and borrow stablecoins across multiple chains from a single wallet. The integration expands Stellar's RWA ecosystem and unlocks cross-chain liquidity.
Templar Protocol, the first Cypher Lending Protocol, has launched on Stellar using NEAR's MPC network and Chain Signatures for chain abstraction. Users can deposit XLM directly from their Stellar wallet to borrow stablecoins like USDC across Stellar, Ethereum, Solana, NEAR and other networks without wrapped tokens or bridging. The integration marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration between Templar and Stellar focused on tokenized real-world assets, with plans to add Franklin Templeton's Benji as a borrowing option and explore assets from teams like Centrifuge. This positions Stellar as an RWA hub while enabling permissionless borrowing against assets across chains.
