Questions & Answers

What is Lotus Protocol?
Lotus Protocol is a decentralized lending protocol where lenders choose their risk tier and see exactly what has to break before they take a loss. Unlike pooled protocols where all lenders share blended risk, or isolated markets that fragment liquidity, Lotus uses connected tranches (multiple risk levels within a single market) so lenders get precise risk exposure without sacrificing liquidity depth.
When does Lotus Protocol launch?
Lotus Protocol is targeting Q2 2026 for mainnet launch on Ethereum and Arbitrum. Before launch, there will be testnet and predeposit phases for early allocators. Follow Lotus on X or join the Discord for timing updates as dates are confirmed.
Is Lotus Protocol audited?
Lotus Protocol will publish audits from independent security firms before mainnet. The protocol follows standard DeFi security practices including bug bounty programs and conservative initial parameters at launch. Audit reports will be available on the Lotus documentation site as they're completed.
What APYs can I expect with Lotus?
Lotus Protocol yields vary by tranche and market conditions. Junior tranches (higher risk, higher LLTV) earn higher rates than senior tranches (lower risk, lower LLTV). Early LP incentive programs offer 6-30% APY boosts depending on token valuation at launch. Unlike pooled lending protocols where all lenders earn the same blended rate, Lotus lenders choose their risk tier and earn rates corresponding to that specific exposure. The protocol's cascading liquidity design also creates a yield floor through productive debt, where idle capital in senior tranches earns yield-bearing asset returns.
How is Lotus different than Morpho?
The core difference is liquidity architecture. Morpho uses isolated markets where each loan asset, collateral, LLTV, and oracle combination creates a separate pool. This gives lenders risk control but fragments liquidity across many markets. Lotus uses connected tranches within a single market, where unused liquidity from junior tranches automatically supports senior borrowers. Lenders still choose their risk level, but liquidity concentrates rather than fragments. For borrowers, this means better rates from deeper markets. For vault managers, it enables risk-priced strategies rather than just asset curation.
