Why Spine?

Spine delivers instant, efficient, and flexible fixed-rate markets through its hybrid Credit Book and Central Credit Vault model.

Spine's Central Credit Vault Model

The Central Credit Vault is the core liquidity engine of Spine. All lender deposits flow into a single vault that automatically allocates and rebalances liquidity across every fixed rate market on Spine.

Instead of separating capital into many fragmented pools, the vault acts as one unified source of liquidity that continuously supplies the Credit Books. Borrowers always have access to fixed rates and LPs always have liquidity working for them. This model enables:

1. Instant fixed rate liquidity

The vault ensures that every Credit Book has available liquidity, so borrowers can take fixed rate positions immediately without waiting for a match.

2. Higher efficiency for lenders

Idle capital is minimized because the vault deploys liquidity into Credit Books and external yield sources such as Morpho, Euler, and curated strategies. More of the capital is productive which increases real yield.

3. Better risk management

All markets operate under predefined collateral limits, maturity limits, and exposure caps set by curators. Lenders benefit from a trust layer where risk is transparent and bounded.

4. Flexible allocation for LPs

LPs can choose which assets and maturities they want exposure to or rely on automated allocation. Liquidity can move where it is needed, not where it is trapped.

5. Deep, predictable fixed rate markets

With unified liquidity feeding multiple maturities, fixed rate books stay liquid, stable, and scalable. This allows borrowers to access predictable costs and lenders to earn diversified yield.


How Spine Finance differs from other Lending Protocols?

For Borrowers

  • Instant fixed-rate execution from unified vault liquidity. No waiting for matches or auctions.

  • Predictable borrowing costs through transparent Credit Books with clear maturity options like 30D, 90D, and 180D, etc...

For Lenders

  • Higher real yield because the Central Credit Vault keeps capital productive across Credit Books and yield sources such as Morpho and Euler.

  • Lower risk with transparent collateral rules, maturity limits, and curator-managed safeguards.

  • Safer diversification since exposure is spread across multiple maturities and strategies instead of being trapped in a single pool.

For LPs and Curators

  • Full control over which assets, markets, and maturities to support.

  • Risk-bounded autonomy where curators can set parameters but within strict limits enforced by smart contracts.

  • Better capital efficiency because the vault reallocates liquidity dynamically, eliminating idle buffers and improving returns.
