Data verified on unchanged since the sources

Worth it if you're a developer integrating non-custodial stablecoins via a single SDK: 11 audits from 3 firms with zero declared critical or high findings.

Avoid it if you're an end user or want an established company: it's an early-stage B2B service with undocumented funding, licensing and corporate structure.

Blend is an account-infrastructure layer that provides per-user on-chain accounts with built-in screening, reporting and controls, letting financial platforms offer yield products without holding custody of funds. Live products include DeFi yield routed across Morpho, Aave, Compound, Spark and Pendle (with independent risk ratings) and treasury-backed stablecoin yield (AUSD, Agora). The architecture is non-custodial: funds stay held directly by users on-chain. It targets neobanks, treasury platforms, payroll providers, B2B fintechs and wallet services.
