What is Clearpool Finance?
+
Clearpool Finance is a decentralized credit protocol — the tokenization engine for the onchain economy. It connects institutional borrowers with DeFi liquidity providers through permissioned, credit-assessed lending pools, and offers CPOOL staking for governance and real yield.
What is Clearpool Lending and how does it work?
+
Clearpool Lending allows KYC-verified institutional borrowers to deploy permissioned USDC pools on Ethereum or Polygon. Liquidity providers supply USDC to these pools and earn interest that accrues dynamically based on pool utilization rates. All activity is transparent onchain.
What is Clearpool Prime?
+
Clearpool Prime is the institutional private credit arm of the protocol. It provides bespoke financing solutions for fintech companies, payment service providers (PSPs), and institutions requiring structured credit facilities. Prime pools feature managed fund strategies run by professional teams.
How does CPOOL staking work?
+
Stake CPOOL tokens in the protocol's audited staking smart contract to earn a proportional share of all protocol revenue generated from lending fees. Rewards are distributed in USDC — real yield from real lending activity. Stakers also gain governance voting rights and premium feature access.
What is the Clearpool Bridge?
+
The Clearpool Bridge enables trustless cross-chain transfer of CPOOL tokens between Ethereum and Polygon. It uses secure cross-chain messaging infrastructure, and all transfers are verifiable on Etherscan and Polygonscan. Transfers typically settle within minutes.
Is Clearpool Finance safe and audited?
+
Yes. All Clearpool smart contracts — lending pools, staking, and bridge — have been independently audited by leading blockchain security firms. Reports are publicly available. The protocol uses permissioned pools with KYC-verified borrowers, which reduces counterparty risk compared to anonymous DeFi lending.
Who can borrow on Clearpool?
+
Only verified institutional entities can borrow on Clearpool: fintech companies, payment service providers, trading firms, asset managers, and other regulated financial entities. All borrowers undergo a full credit assessment and KYC/AML process administered by Clearpool's risk team.
Who can supply liquidity on Clearpool lending pools?
+
USDC holders can supply liquidity to standard Clearpool lending pools to earn yield. Clearpool Prime pools are restricted to accredited investors and institutional participants. Liquidity providers receive cpTokens representing their pool share, which accrue interest in real time.
What assets are supported on Clearpool Finance?
+
Clearpool primarily uses USDC as the lending and borrowing asset, available on both Ethereum and Polygon. CPOOL is the protocol's native token used for staking and governance. Additional assets can be added through governance proposals approved by CPOOL stakers.
How is Clearpool different from Aave or Compound?
+
Unlike Aave and Compound which require overcollateralized loans (borrowers must post more collateral than they borrow), Clearpool enables undercollateralized institutional lending to credit-verified borrowers. This unlocks far higher capital efficiency and more competitive rates, bridging the gap between TradFi credit markets and DeFi.
What are Clearpool Institutional Fund Strategies?
+
Fund strategies are professionally managed yield products where experienced trading desks and asset managers deploy capital across Clearpool's credit markets. These structured products are designed for qualified institutional investors who want managed DeFi exposure without running their own pool strategy.
