Why We Exist
In today's DeFi landscape, liquidity is scattered and user experience is fragmented. Cross-chain activity often requires complex bridging steps, multiple wallets, and high risk.
We're here to change that.
What is Peridot Protocol?
Peridot Protocol is a next-generation, cross-chain lending and borrowing platform designed to unify liquidity across multiple blockchains.
Built on Interoperability
Powered by Wormhole, a leading cross-chain messaging protocol, architected around a Hub & Spoke model:
- Hub Chain (e.g., Sei): Central layer for accounting, interest accrual, and liquidation logic
- Spoke Chains (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Sui): User interaction from preferred blockchain
Compound V2 at the Core
We build on top of Compound V2's proven lending infrastructure, extending its core logic with cross-chain capabilities to reduce development risk and improve capital efficiency.
Wormhole-Powered Experience
Peridot uses Wormhole Token Transfers with Payloads to:
- • Send tokens from user's chain (Spoke)
- • Send message to Hub contract
- • Mint or burn tokens on Hub for lending/borrowing
Peridot is designed for speed, simplicity, and scale — enabling users to access the best opportunities across chains, effortlessly.
Our Story
Peridot was founded in 2025 by a team of tech veterans and blockchain engineers based in Berlin, Germany, who recognized a critical problem in the ecosystem: while blockchain technology was breaking down traditional financial barriers, new barriers were forming between different blockchain networks.
The founding team had previously built and contributed to several successful DeFi protocols, but they saw that users were forced to fragment their capital across multiple chains, reducing capital efficiency and creating unnecessary complexity.
With this insight, they set out to build Peridot—a protocol that would unify lending markets across blockchains and create a seamless experience for users, regardless of which networks they preferred to use.
Built on top of proven DeFi infrastructure and powered by Wormhole, Peridot brings together speed, security, and simplicity into one protocol, making true cross-chain DeFi interaction possible without bridges or manual user intervention.
