Venus Protocol is a decentralized financial platform built on the BNB Chain. It offers permissionless lending, borrowing, and the ability to mint VAI, a native decentralized stablecoin. With no middlemen, users retain full control over their digital assets, earning interest or gaining liquidity without selling holdings.
Venus plays a central role in decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling:
By removing traditional gatekeepers, Venus supports global financial access with speed, security, and user autonomy.
Venus is inspired by models used on platforms like Coinbase, but built entirely on decentralized infrastructure.
Users supply supported assets (like BTC, ETH, BNB) to Venus’ liquidity pools. These deposits earn interest and act as collateral for borrowing. Interest rates are dynamic, adjusting with supply and demand.
Venus allows users to mint VAI, its USD-pegged stablecoin, by locking collateral. This provides liquidity without selling long-term assets.
Venus is governed by the XVS token. Token holders propose and vote on changes, making the system community-controlled and fully transparent.
