Welcoming the next partner to the Ion Protocol ecosystem, our collaboration with Modulus Labs marks a significant milestone in our product development. Over the past several months, we’ve worked extremely closely with their team to develop Clarity – our Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (ZKML) framework – the
Over the past several months, we’ve collaborated with the Stader Labs team while developing Ion Protocol to better understand how we can support ETHx holders. After careful analysis of the multiple innovations Stader is delivering natively with ETHx, we’re excited to announce our first public partnershi
Over the past several months we’ve been collaborating with the Swell team in the public to discuss the many innovations coming to LSDeFi. Along the way, we’ve been heads down, developing Ion’s novel risk and pricing mechanisms which enable us to support swETH as a collateral asset for borrowers…

Puffer finance is not just another LST. In our AMA with them, we uncovered how they’re developing a platform to not only increase ETH validator participation, but also ETH validator security. They are on a mission to empower the at home staker and follow Ethereum’s ethos of decentralization, permissionles…
Trustless, Composable, Simple… We had an amazing conversation with @Geode_Finance yesterday, here are 3 KEY INSIGHTS on how they’re transforming the staking ecosystem by enabling you to build your own staking pools. Geode provides ownership and control to anyone wanting to run their…
As a long-time provider on other ecosystems, Clay Stack has some unique knowledge on building the best provider for stakers. In our AMA with them, we uncovered their plans for their ETH staking solution and broke down the 3 MOST IMPORTANT parts of our chat. We chatted about the difficulti…
This AMA was with EIP_Alta1r, UnshETH’ing some major alfa! We’re bringing you the 3 biggest developments from UnshETH as well as some new details on Ion’s risk mechanism. Read at your own risk! UnshETH has pioneered a DeFi native way of diversifying exposure to validator staked assets with their flag…
Ion Protocol is an open-source protocol built to support the lending and borrowing of staked and restaked assets on Ethereum. Enjoy lending architecture built specifically for this asset class meant to enable stakers and restakers alike to experience additional capital efficiency while mitigating exposure to price-dependent risk underwriting.
Ion Protocol and its interface were developed by Molecular Labs.
Restaking (orginating from EigenLayer) is the act of using previously staked Ethereum (via validators directly or by depositing LSTs) to secure other networks while it’s validating Ethereum. Restaking allows external infrastructure projects to “rent” security from Ethereum, decreasing the cost of bootstrapping their own validator set while improving decentralization and economic security. Restakers then opt into additional slashing conditions based on the networks that they are securing, and earn additional income as a byproduct of doing so.
Enter into our application with any supported asset on our market (ETH, LSTs, Restaking positions, etc.) and find the page for the action you’re looking to take (Borrow or Lend). Once you’re on the page, select the asset that you wish to deposit and each page will guide you through a simple workflow to facilitate your borrow or lend-based position. See below for more information about the products that Ion natively offers.
Ion offers three core products. Earn, which allows users to compound their staking yield through looped borrowing. Borrow, which allows holders of staked and restaked assets to borrow ETH. And Lend, allowing ETH holders to earn passive yield from the staking rate while underwriting the slashing risk
