Dolomite (DOLO): The performance engine that brings DeFi to evolve into a unified financial operating system.

Introduction: The development of DeFi and the performance problem DeFi emerged during the 2019–2020 period, ushering in a new era for global finance. With just a cryptocurrency wallet and an internet connection, anyone can participate in lending, borrowing, and trading without the need for banks or intermediaries. Pioneering protocols such as Compound, Aave, Uniswap, and MakerDAO shaped the “DeFi Summer” of 2020, attracting billions of USD in capital flows. However, as the market matures, a paradox emerges: DeFi is severely fragmented. Protocols operate separately, assets are “locked” in each silo: collateral cannot be used profitably elsewhere, LP tokens are limited in their utility, staking reduces liquidity, governance tokens become “inactive” when sent to other protocols. As a result, capital remains stagnant, failing to realize its full value. @Dolomite_io was created to address this very bottleneck. Not just a lending market or a DEX, Dolomite positions itself as an “operating system of DeFi” – a capital efficiency engine that allows all assets to circulate, multitask, and maximize profits within the same system. The vision of Dolomite: From protocol to operating system The core of #Dolomite is the philosophy: “No asset should remain idle.” Every token deposited into Dolomite can simultaneously: Used as collateral for borrowing. Continue to receive the original staking rewards. Participate in providing liquidity and supporting trading. This design breaks the exclusionary choices in traditional DeFi ( staking or lending, trading or governance ). With Dolomite, users can do both at the same time. This transforms Dolomite from a standalone product into a decentralized financial operating system, where lending, borrowing, trading, and governance are integrated as a unified whole rather than being separate. Treasury & Governance: Tokenomics as a foundation of trust Dolomite treasury ( is a circulation system, not a storage. Resources are allocated for: Liquidity, increasing market depth. Ecosystem, encouraging development. Security, audit and bug bounty. Community, decentralized distribution. Token $DOLO plays a central role with the mechanism: veDOLO )vote-escrowed( – lock tokens to gain governance rights + revenue sharing. The longer the lock-up period, the greater the power. oDOLO – reward token, can only realize its value when paired with DOLO to mint into veDOLO, forcing users to commit long-term rather than sell off. This system creates a cycle that transforms short-term capital into long-term capital, turning profit incentives into governance commitments. Multi-chain expansion: Borderless liquidity The reality of multi-chain today leads to fragmented liquidity. Dolomite chooses a chain-agnostic solution: deploying on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Berachain, and is expanding to Botanix )Bitcoin L2( and OKX X Layer. Arbitrum: optimized low-cost, suitable for margin trading. Berachain: profitable stablecoin mining and specific mechanism. Botanix: opens the era of native Bitcoin lending. X Layer: connects the Polygon system and the global OKX user base. Thanks to the integration of Chainlink CCIP, Dolomite supports borrowing on one chain – deploying capital on another chain, providing a “liquidity without borders” experience. Incentive model: From “virtual APY” to real yield Unlike the first generation of DeFi that relies on token inflation, Dolomite builds incentives based on real revenue: fees from lending, borrowing, and trading. The 3-layer system )DOLO – veDOLO – oDOLO( creates a bridge between short-term and long-term benefits. Token inflation is limited and gradually decreases over time, helping to maintain sustainability. Security: Core pillar With Dolomite, security is the product. It has undergone multiple audits from Zeppelin Solutions, SECBIT, Cyfrin. The module architecture allows independent audits of each part. Real-time on-chain monitoring prevents abnormalities. The bug bounty program encourages the community to test for vulnerabilities. Dolomite does not shy away from complexity, supporting 1,000+ assets, LP, yield-bearing tokens while choosing to manage risk with a multi-layered protection. Competitive position: Not just Aave, Curve, or GMX While Aave/Compound leans towards safety but limits assets, GMX focuses on derivatives, Curve dominates stablecoins, Morpho optimizes yield on Aave/Compound… Dolomite chooses a different path: Aggregation system: lending, borrowing, trading, governance on a single platform. Supports a variety of assets ) including derivative tokens, LP(. Sustainable tokenomics, creating long-term engagement. Multi-chain expansion, increasing market coverage. Dolomite does not compete to become the “new Aave” or “new GMX” but wants to become the unified infrastructure where DeFi pieces converge. Challenges and risks High complexity → increased attack surface. Sophisticated tokenomics → need to balance between long-term and short-term liquidity. Multi-chain → face bridge risks, cross-chain governance. Adoption → average users may find Dolomite complex, need better UX and community education. Conclusion: Dolomite - The unified platform of the future DeFi DeFi has gone through 3 stages: Proving the feasibility of lending and AMM. Building composability capability. ) Currently ( Focus on capital efficiency and large-scale integration. Dolomite is writing a new chapter: a decentralized financial operating system where assets never stand still, liquidity knows no borders, and users do not have to compromise. If successful, Dolomite will not only be a DeFi protocol anymore, but will become the backbone of a new financial system, where capital efficiency is the standard and liquidity is global.
