FAQ's
Saffron is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that lets users lend, borrow, and earn yield using digital assets. Everything is powered by smart contracts, giving you direct control over your funds without relying on a traditional financial institution.
Saffron is designed for anyone looking to participate in decentralized finance, from first-time DeFi users to experienced traders and liquidity providers.
No. Simply connect a supported crypto wallet to start using the platform. There are no usernames, passwords, or traditional account setup requirements.
Saffron supports popular Ethereum-compatible wallets such as MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect, and other compatible Web3 wallets.
Anyone with a supported wallet can generally access the protocol, although availability may depend on your local regulations.
Deposit supported assets into Saffron vaults, where your assets help power the protocol. In return, you earn yield generated through lending activity and protocol incentives.
Estimated yields update continuously based on market activity and asset utilization.
Most vaults allow withdrawals whenever liquidity is available. Certain vaults or products may have additional conditions, which are clearly displayed before depositing.
Returns depend on market demand, utilization rates, and the specific vault or strategy you choose.
No. Yield in DeFi changes over time based on supply, demand, and market conditions.
Deposit approved crypto assets as collateral, then borrow supported assets against your collateral while maintaining ownership of your deposited crypto.
Collateral protects the protocol and lenders. Because crypto markets are volatile, borrowers deposit more value than they borrow.
Yes. Loans can typically be repaid at any time, allowing you to unlock your collateral whenever you're ready.
If your collateral falls below the required threshold, part or all of your position may be liquidated to repay the loan and protect the protocol.
Borrowing includes interest that changes based on market conditions. Current rates are always displayed before confirming a transaction.
Yes. The protocol has undergone multiple independent smart contract audits as part of its ongoing security process.
You do. Saffron is non-custodial, meaning your assets remain under your control through your connected wallet.
No. While the protocol is designed with security in mind and undergoes audits, all DeFi applications carry smart contract and market risks.
Security practices include audited smart contracts, transparent on-chain transactions, and carefully designed protocol mechanisms to reduce risk.
Certain actions may include protocol fees, depending on the product you're using. These are always shown before you confirm a transaction.
Yes. Transactions on the blockchain require network gas fees, which are paid directly to the blockchain network—not Saffron.
No. All protocol fees and estimated network costs are visible before you approve a transaction.
Supported assets vary by vault and market. The platform displays all currently supported tokens.
SFI (Spice) is Saffron's native governance token and plays a role within the ecosystem and protocol governance.
Depending on the feature you're using, supported assets can often be supplied, borrowed, or managed directly through the application.
