What is Alpend

A credit infrastructure suite on Canton Network — Alpend Market and Alpend-1 · ONE.

Alpend is a credit infrastructure suite built on the Canton Network. It consists of two complementary protocols — each serving a distinct role in Canton DeFi.

Alpend Market

A decentralized money market for Canton participants. Supply assets and earn yield, or borrow against posted collateral — with positions that are confidential by default and settlement that is deterministic on-chain.

Alpend-1 · ONE

A vault-based borrowing protocol that lets participants lock Canton Coin (CC) as collateral and borrow ONE — a CC-backed debt instrument geared to $1. ONE is designed to circulate as a stable unit of account within Canton DeFi without requiring users to surrender their CC position.

Shared properties

🔒 Confidential
Balances, positions, and counterparties are visible only to authorized participants. Powered by Canton's selective disclosure model.
🏛️ Decentralized
All protocol logic runs on-chain. No intermediaries, no discretionary operators — governed by transparent, auditable contracts.
⚙️ Deterministic
Liquidations, settlements, and rate adjustments follow predefined rules and behave predictably under all conditions.

Both protocols are designed for institutional participants — funds, desks, and protocol operators on Canton — who require privacy, auditability, and predictable execution.
