Built in collaboration with Fluid, it lets users deposit assets into Earn vaults or use collateral in Borrow markets to access liquidity directly from Jupiter’s interface. Its architecture focuses on high capital efficiency, low-friction transactions, and integrated lending flows within Solana’s broader onchain liquidity stack.
