Inside Alpend: The First Decentralized Lending Protocol Built Natively On Canton

Описание: Credit is the missing primitive for institutional DeFi — and Alpend just built it on Canton Network.

This interview with founder Akash Gaurav breaks down why lending and borrowing had to wait for a privacy-enabled, deterministic blockchain, how CC-backed lending works, and why Alpend's architecture is fundamentally different from Ethereum-based protocols that already failed.

INTERVIEW AGENDA:▸ The Origin Story — Why Akash built Alpend and why Canton was the only chain that could support it
▸ Privacy & Determinism — Why institutional credit requires both, and how Canton delivers what no other L1 can
▸ CC-Backed Borrowing — Using Canton Coin as collateral, liquidation mechanics, and what happens when CC appreciates
▸ The Credit Stack — How Alpend fits into Canton's institutional primitives alongside settlement, identity, and compliance
▸ Risk Architecture — Oracle-free design, counterparty isolation, and why composability looks different on Canton
▸ Competition & Differentiation — Why Ethereum lending protocols can't replicate this and why Alpend isn't another Aave fork
▸ The Institutional Pipeline — Who's building on Alpend, what assets come first, and the adoption timeline
▸ What's Next — Roadmap, tokenomics, and how retail eventually accesses institutional-grade credit markets
