Three mechanisms working together so lenders never earn zero and borrowers never overpay.
Your USDC earns from two sources at once -- borrower interest payments and T-bill returns on idle capital via USYC. At 20% pool utilisation, Chariot delivers 3.60% APY. Traditional protocols deliver 0.18%.
Deposit ETH on Ethereum. Borrow USDC on Arc. Chariot bridges your collateral through a custom escrow system so you can access liquidity across chains without selling your position.
LTV ratios and interest rates adjust based on real-time oracle data. When volatility spikes, your position is protected automatically. When markets calm, you get more capacity. No governance votes. No delays.
Two paths. Both take under two minutes.
For Lenders
Connect your wallet and deposit USDC into the Chariot Vault. You receive chUSDC vault shares representing your position.
Your deposit earns from two sources simultaneously -- borrower interest and T-bill returns on idle capital. Yield accrues to your vault shares in real time.
Redeem your chUSDC shares for USDC plus all accrued earnings. No lock-ups. No penalties. Your capital, your timeline.
For Borrowers
Deposit ETH into the Chariot escrow contract on Ethereum. Your collateral is securely locked and bridged to Arc within seconds.
The bridge relayer confirms your deposit and mints BridgedETH on Arc. Your collateral value, health factor, and borrow capacity appear instantly.
Borrow USDC against your collateral on Arc with sub-second finality. Repay on your own schedule -- no deadlines, no penalties for early repayment.
