Why NAVI?

NAVI provides a decentralized liquidity protocol that enables users to lend and borrow cryptocurrency assets directly, bypassing intermediaries through a shared liquidity pool system.

For each supported asset, NAVI establishes dedicated liquidity pools where users can deposit their assets, each one with their separate parameters.

The amount available for borrowing is determined by a collateralization ratio, which adjusts dynamically according to supply and demand. For a deeper dive into the details, check out the Developers Docs.

NAVX token

NAVI features a governance system empowering NAVX token holders to participate in decision-making by voting on proposals and protocol updates. This includes decisions like setting interest rates, introducing new assets to the platform, and adjusting the collateralization ratio.
