Martin de Rijke, Growth Lead at Syrup, discusses Maple and their new platform launch, Syrup. Maple is an institutional DeFi lending and borrowing platform that connects institutional borrowers with lenders. Syrup is a DeFi platform that provides permissionless access to high-quality institutional yields. It is built on top of Maple and offers the same loans and lending engine but in a DeFi way. Users can deposit USDC and earn DRIP rewards, which can be boosted by locking up funds or using them in other DeFi protocols. Syrup aims to target both DeFi-native users and those looking for a set-and-forget yield solution.
