3.4/5 5.0/5 · Data verified on

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.
