FAQ


Basics

What is Fyndra?
Fyndra is an open, self-custodial liquidity network where people take one of two roles — depositor or borrower. Depositors fund the shared pools and collect a share of the interest paid, while borrowers draw from those pools against collateral worth more than the loan they open.
How do I connect to the network?
Open the app, choose a chain, and link the wallet you already use. Nothing is transferred until you sign a transaction yourself.
Is a self-custody wallet required?
Yes. Positions live in a contract you control, so a wallet you hold the keys to is the only supported way in.
What does it cost to transact?
The network itself charges no subscription. You pay the base-chain gas fee for each action, plus the interest rate shown on the market you use.
Where can I reach Fyndra?
Through the web app, any wallet with an in-app browser, or by calling the public contracts directly from your own tooling.
Can I try it without real funds?
A full test deployment mirrors every production market. Claim test balances from the faucet and experiment with no value at stake.
Could a market be paused?
A single market can be frozen by community vote if an oracle or an asset behaves abnormally. Existing positions stay withdrawable while new borrowing stops.
Why is a token approval needed?
Token standards require you to grant a contract permission before it can move a balance on your behalf. You can set the amount and revoke it later.

Risk

What risks should I weigh first?
Contract risk, oracle risk, and the price volatility of whatever you post as collateral. Each market page lists the parameters that govern it.
How are those risks contained?
Conservative loan-to-value ceilings, isolated markets for newer assets, redundant price feeds, and a reserve buffer funded by protocol income.

Earning & Supply

How do I deposit?
Pick a market, approve the asset once, then confirm the deposit. Your balance starts accruing interest in the same block.
What yield can I expect?
Rates float with how much of a pool is borrowed. Every market shows its live rate and a 30-day range so you can judge the average.
Are deposit caps in place?
Newer or thinner assets carry a ceiling until liquidity deepens. The remaining headroom is printed on each market card.
Where do deposited assets sit?
In the market contract itself. You hold a receipt token that tracks your share of the pool and the interest earned on it.
How do I take funds out?
Withdraw any time there is unborrowed liquidity in the pool, which is the usual state. Repay first if the deposit backs a loan.
Can I exclude an asset from collateral?
Yes — toggle collateral off per asset in the dashboard, provided the remaining balance still covers your open borrowings.

Brand

How should the mark be used?
Keep the clear space, use the supplied colour pairings, and never redraw or stretch the shape.
May I use the visual kit in my project?
Integrations and community tools are welcome to use the kit, as long as the result is not presented as an official release.
Can I make merchandise from these assets?
Small non-commercial runs for meetups are fine. Anything sold at scale needs written sign-off first.
