Brindle on Solana
The Brindle website is live on Solana in read-only mode. You can explore the interface and review lending terms, while market creation and transactions remain disabled. Protocol initialization, approved launch assets, and ready oracle services are required before public transactions are enabled.
Brindle lets one group supply USDC while another deposits a supported memecoin and borrows that USDC. Rates are variable, collateral can lose value, and repayment is never guaranteed. Read the market terms before signing.
For lenders
Lenders receive shares representing their portion of a market. Borrower interest is split among lenders, the creator, and the protocol according to the market’s permanent terms. A displayed lender APR is a current estimate—not promised yield. Withdrawals can be delayed when most USDC is borrowed, and collateral liquidation may still leave losses.
For borrowers
Choose how much USDC you want. The app calculates the collateral needed from the latest accepted price and adds a safety buffer. If collateral value falls far enough, anyone may repay part of the debt and receive collateral. Repay early or add collateral to reduce that risk.
Isolated markets
Every market has separate vaults, lender shares, borrower debt, oracle rules, fees, reserve, and bad debt. A market cannot spend another market’s tokens.
LLTV
LLTV is the debt level at which your position can be liquidated. It is immutable after market creation.
Utilization
Utilization is the percentage of supplied USDC currently borrowed. The variable borrow rate rises more sharply above its target.
In plain language: “USDC being used: X of Y.” Higher use commonly raises borrower APR. Lender APR is derived from paid borrower interest after immutable fee shares; it is not the same number as borrower APR.
APR and period estimates
APR is the annual simple rate used by the program. Daily, weekly, and 30-day figures are illustrations calculated from that APR and assume the rate stays unchanged. They are not compounded APY and are never guaranteed.
Oracle failure
A stale or invalid oracle blocks borrowing, collateral withdrawal, and liquidation. It never blocks repayment or adding collateral.
First-loss reserve
USDC deposited into a market reserve absorbs finalized bad debt before regular lenders. It reduces risk but does not guarantee repayment.
Classification
Every market begins Unverified. Community, Established, Curated, and Restricted labels affect discovery only and always include exact reasons.
Market creation
A creator chooses collateral, liquidation limit, borrowing caps, an interest curve, fee shares, and starting USDC. Core terms are included in the configuration hash and cannot be edited afterward. Creating an empty market earns nothing; creator revenue only comes from interest actually paid under that market’s fixed split.
Transaction safety
The interface prepares and checks a transaction before asking the wallet to sign. Solana remains the source of truth. A submitted transaction is not shown as complete until the network confirms it. If confirmation is slow, use the transaction signature to check the explorer before retrying.
Indexer and availability
MongoDB helps discover markets and recover transaction history, but it does not define balances or ownership. The index can be rebuilt from Solana. If it is unavailable, the app does not invent markets, balances, rates, or success states.
Bad debt and reserves
Liquidations use current accepted pricing, a close factor, and the configured incentive. If collateral cannot cover debt, finalized bad debt is absorbed by that market’s first-loss reserve before regular lender assets. Neither mechanism guarantees recovery.
Token-2022
Token-2022 mints are supported with metadata and token-group extensions. Transfer-fee, transfer-hook, permanent-delegate, confidential-transfer, and pausable behavior is rejected in the MVP.
