Anzen is a decentralized lending platform built by a team of credit investment experts to bring stability to the DeFi space and enable more use cases for stablecoins. Users can lend on the platform to earn yield backed by Real World Assets (RWA). Loans are collateralized with secure, tangible, and value-accruing assets — offering lenders a predictable income stream tied to the performance of RWA.

Curvance is a decentralized stablecoin lending protocol with an initial focus on LPs from the Curve, Convex, Aura, and Frax ecosystems. Curvance seeks to allow users to earn optimized yields while maximizing capital efficiency through peer-to-peer lending. Assets such as cvxCRV, auraBAL, and yCRV could earn similar or higher APR than they would earn on their original platforms but with the added ability to collateralize deposits for secure stablecoin loans. Interest rates on these loans are based on several factors including pool APR, price volatility, token liquidity, and loan-to-value ratios.

Arbitrum, created by the Offchain Labs team, is an Ethereum Layer2 scaling solution based on Optimistic Rollup technology. It leverages the ability to communicate between L1 and L2, allowing any form of Ethereum asset to be transferred between Layer 1 and Layer 2 without the need for trust. Even though Arbitrum transactions are still settled on Ethereum, only raw transaction data is submitted to Ethereum, with execution and contract storage occurring off-chain. This makes the gas fee required on Arbitrum much smaller than on the mainnet, and contracts are fully compatible with no gas limit.
