Tren Finance

With over $8 billion in TVL across the leading DEXes on Ethereum, there's significant potential to (re)Enable idle liquidity by using LP tokens as collateral.

Get more out of your LP tokens by taking out a loan against them to put towards other protocols, all while still earning yield from your LP position.

Demand for borrowing in DeFi is steadily increasing. Yet most digital assets are unable to be used as collateral.

Fear not, Tren is coming to (re)enable your liquidity. Stay tuned.

How are we able to list such a variety of assets as a CDP while minimizing protocol risk?

Pretty simple: isolated modules.

This lets us customize risk parameters for each asset and ensure that risks are confined to individual modules, protecting the protocol while being able to unlock liquidity for (re)collateralized LP and (re)staked positions.

TREN is the value accrual token of Tren Finance with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens.

But what about veTREN?

What is veTREN?
veTREN stands for "vote-escrowed TREN." It's a special version of TREN that you get by locking your TREN tokens for a set period.

The longer you lock, the more voting power and rewards you earn.

Why Lock TREN for veTREN?
Locking your TREN tokens for veTREN aligns your incentives with the long-term success of Tren Finance. It encourages active governance participation and investment in the protocol's future.

Enhanced Value Accrual
While TREN holders accrue value through TREN token burns, veTREN holders also receive a share of protocol revenue, including borrowing fees accrued by the protocol.

Unlike typical money market tokens, veTREN holders benefit from the full spectrum of supply-side interest without having to share these profits with traditional depositors.

Governance Power
With veTREN, you get enhanced voting rights. This means you can help shape key protocol decisions, such as new asset listings and changes to existing features

Token Burn and Return
When the lock-up period ends, veTREN is burned, and your original TREN tokens are returned. This keeps the TREN token supply deflationary in the long-run, and rewards long-term commitment.

At launch, we're offering two dynamic interest rate models: Linear and Variable, with more to be implemented in the future by the team and as proposed by the DAO. These models ensure efficient capital utilization and fair pricing for borrowers.

Linear Model: Straightforward & Predictable

- Interest rate directly proportional to utilization
- Lower utilization = lower rates, higher utilization = higher rates
- Easily predictable for users
- Balances protocol objectives by incentivizing borrowing during low utilization periods

Variable Model: Dynamic & Responsive

- Uses function f(Utilization) = rate for nuanced adjustments
- Responds instantly to utilization changes
- Rate increase accelerates beyond certain thresholds
- Curve adapts to prolonged low/high utilization periods
- Fine-tunes risk management based on utilization level and rate of change

While tokenizing tangible assets is revolutionary, the real game-changer is bringing intangibles on-chain.

This innovation opens up entirely new markets for previously untraded or illiquid forms of value, potentially transforming how we perceive and exchange abstract assets.

RWA Tokenization Report

The Great Tokenization is spanning across various sectors, with a total on-chain value of $187B. The diverse landscape showcases the wide-reaching impact of tokenization, from traditional finance to intangible emerging digital assets.

Which sector do you think will see the most growth? Let us know on X

Over the past 6 years, we've seen a dramatic increase in RWAs brought on-chain. 2024 has already set a new record with $3.94B, surpassing the previous high of $3.31B in 2022.

According to Chainlink the global market for real-world assets stands at $867 trillion and this does not even include intangible assets that were previously untradable before now, such as time.fun.

Currently, only 0.001346% of this value exists on-chain, highlighting the enormous potential for growth in asset tokenization.

Tren offers two primary ways for users to earn revenue from the protocol:

1. Stability Pool Staking

- Helps maintain protocol risk by mitigating bad debt
- Earn a base APY rate
- Receive shares of every liquidation
- Option to protect the entire protocol or specific pools

This is crucial for Tren's risk management strategy as this allows us to mitigate bad debt.

2. Locking TREN for veTREN

- Receive a share of protocol revenue
- 50% of revenue used to buy back and burn TREN tokens, reducing overall supply
- Enhanced governance rights and voting power

The longer you lock, the greater your rewards and influence.

Where does this revenue come from? Tren has multiple streams, including:

- Liquidation Bot Profits
- Liquidation Fees
- Protocol LP Fees
- Borrowing Interest
- One-time Borrowing Fees
- And more

These are just the direct ways to earn from our protocol. To truly maximize your potential with Tren, consider using illiquid assets as collateral to borrow trenUSD, then deploying those funds in other yield-generating protocols.

Hard to say no to extra yield.

From air rights to real estate, whiskey and energy, the world of tokenized assets is expanding rapidly with $3.9B brought onchain this year alone.

Our latest research report, with contributions from projects like Ondo Finance, Maple Finance, Centrifuge, Securitize, Backed Finance and Stellar Foundation, analyzes 30 projects driving the Great Tokenization across diverse sectors, showcasing how unique real-world assets are being brought to the blockchain in unique ways.
