Cross-Platform Collateral

Definition

Cross-platform collateral refers to digital assets or other forms of value that are locked or staked on one blockchain or protocol to secure a loan or other financial position on a different blockchain or protocol. This mechanism enables users to leverage their assets across disparate decentralized finance ecosystems. It addresses the liquidity fragmentation often present in multi-chain environments. The use of such collateral requires secure bridging solutions and interoperability protocols.
