UniLend is a comprehensive permissionless DeFi protocol. Whereas other DeFi protocols support only a limited number of assets, anyone can list any asset on UniLend’s supported blockchains (currently Ethereum and Polygon) to access comprehensive DeFi functionality for those assets. This includes decentralized trading, lending/borrowing, and the industry’s most cost-effective flash loans.\
\
In addition to cryptocurrencies, UniLend will also support various synthetic real-world assets and derivatives (including the major FAANG stocks and precious metals such as gold and silver).\
\
Through our comprehensive DeFi functionality, permissionless listing mechanism, and partnerships with major blockchain innovators, we’re unlocking the full potential of decentralised finance at a level never before seen in the industry.\
\
These docs will provide a comprehensive overview of the UniLend protocol and its functionality. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us in our [Telegram community](https://t.me/UniLendFinance).<br>
