Navigating Sui: DeFi - Suilend

What is Suilend?

Suilend is the leading lending protocol on Sui, developed by the team behind Save (previously Solend). Leveraging years of experience in volatile crypto markets, the team has expanded Suilend into a comprehensive DeFi suite, integrating lending, infinite liquid staking via SpringSui, and a Superfluid AMM through STEAMM.

The platform enables users to earn interest, borrow assets, leverage long or short positions, swap tokens, liquid stake SUI, and provide liquidity—all within a single ecosystem. As a fully open-source protocol, Suilend prioritizes transparency, with two independent audits available for review. Risk management and liquidation mechanisms are also clearly documented to ensure user awareness.

Why use Suilend?

Suilend stands out as a foundational pillar of Sui DeFi, not just another lending protocol. Its deep integration with SpringSui (Sui’s leading liquid staking standard) and STEAMM enables seamless lending, borrowing, and yield opportunities. Built by one of the most experienced DeFi teams on Sui, Suilend has been stress-tested through volatile markets, ensuring resilience and reliability. The protocol operates with a safety-first mindset, prioritizing user protection in everything from asset listings to borrowing limits.

Fully open-source and audited, Suilend emphasizes transparency and security, giving users full visibility into its operations. Backed by strong capital and a long-term commitment to Sui’s growth, the protocol is designed to be a sustainable, trustless solution for DeFi participants. With its robust infrastructure and ecosystem-wide integrations, Suilend is your center for DeFi on Sui.
