About Parallel Finance

Parallel Finance is a DeFi super app built on its own Polkadot parachain, offering lending, borrowing, staking, and liquid parachain crowdloans within the Polkadot ecosystem. Users can access DOT and KSM staking while maintaining liquidity through Parallel's liquid staking tokens (cDOT, cKSM). The platform also enables users to participate in Polkadot parachain slot auctions without locking their DOT for long periods through the liquid crowdloan feature. PARA is the governance and utility token for the Parallel Finance protocol.
