About MELD

MELD is a decentralized banking protocol on Cardano that allows users to borrow fiat currency against their crypto holdings and earn yield on deposited assets. The protocol bridges traditional finance with DeFi by enabling non-custodial loans where users keep economic exposure to their crypto while accessing liquidity in fiat. MELD also operates a MELD Bank feature offering a crypto debit card and banking services. The MELD token is used for governance, staking, and earning fee revenue from the protocol's banking operations.
