Maple Finance Launches syrupUSDC on Solana with $30M in Liquidity

Highlights:

• Maple Finance has started lending services on the Solana network with a new stablecoin.
• Chainlink CCIP enables users to move syrupUSDC safely between Ethereum and Solana without complex steps.
• The launch on Solana is supported by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol.

Maple Finance has started lending services on the Solana network with syrupUSDC, a new yield-bearing stablecoin. The integration process will start with $30 million in liquidity and will offer up to $500,000 in rewards to users. The rewards aim to prompt more lending and liquidity supply in the Solana network.

syrupUSDC is live on Solana.

With DeFi use cases on day one and up to $500K in incentives.

Launched in collaboration with @chainlink, @KaminoFinance, @Paxos, @jito_sol and @orca_so.

Maple’s liquid yielding dollar is bringing consistent high yield to the ecosystem.

The yield from the SyrupToken is fixed at about 6.5%. Joining Solana makes the token available to more users. Supported by Solana platforms Kamino and Orca, syrupUSDC can now reach more users. Kamino has introduced syrupUSDC to its lending and liquidity vaults, enabling users to access it through borrowing and lending opportunities.

Part of the launch will see Maple reward users who contribute USDC and USDG with up to $15,000 every week. Additional incentives will be provided to people who take part in lending markets involving USDG tokens. Maple hopes to strengthen its place in DeFi by using Solana’s quick transaction times and affordable fees. The Maple platform stands to benefit from $11 billion worth of stablecoins currently in the Solana ecosystem.

Chainlink’s CCIP Powers Cross-Chain Access to syrupUSDC

Maple’s launch on Solana is supported by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which went live on Solana’s mainnet on May 19. The Chainlink protocol enables safe and efficient data and token transfers between Ethereum and Solana. Users are able to move syrupUSDC from Ethereum to Solana more securely with the help of CCIP. With this cross-chain function, both DeFi ecosystems can communicate more easily.

Users of the Maple protocol can now access syrupUSDC on both chains using a single interface. The process makes it easier for different chains to use the stablecoin and adds value to it. In turn, both advanced DeFi users and institutional investors have new ways to handle their finances effectively. With this upgrade, Maple can provide its lending services to users on the most liquid blockchains.

Major protocols on Solana have already adopted the rollout. Kamino is now using syrupUSDC, and Orca is playing a role in the launch as well. These partnerships benefit Maple by making it more visible in the Solana DeFi arena. With extra support, the protocol can increase its lending activities on different chains populated by users.

Maple Finance Launches syrupUSDC Amid Rising Solana Competition

The switch to Solana has come after Maple completed a $2 billion Bitcoin-backed lending deal with Cantor Fitzgerald in late May. This expansion fits the company’s goal of integrating common lending patterns into the world of blockchain-based finance. By choosing Solana, Maple will go up against margin.fi, Save, Port Finance, and Rain.fi. Solana’s quick growth in DeFi is due in large part to these platforms.

The total value locked on Solana stands at $8.257 billion, according to DeFiLlama data. Even with this growth, Ethereum remains in first place with $59.96 billion in assets, but it is now down from its all-time high. Maple has $1.9 billion in assets under management, and syrupUSDC’s supply has reached over $550 million.
