Vision

Avalon’s vision is to evolve Bitcoin beyond “digital gold” into a yield-generating, credit-enabling asset active in lending markets. With BTC-backed stablecoins, CeDeFi liquidity, and multi-chain lending, Avalon seeks to integrate BTC into everyday and institutional finance. 

How It Works (Products) 

USDa (CeDeFi CDP): A BTC-collateralized yield-bearing stablecoin, claimed as the world’s first and largest BTC-CDP. 

• USDaLend: Borrowing and lending protocols based on USDa. 
• CeDeFi Lending: Hybrid model merging DeFi with institutional CeFi liquidity providers. 
• DeFi Lending (Isolated Pools): Risk-controlled lending pools, supporting collateral types like LSDFi. 
• Flow: Users lock BTC → mint USDa or borrow → use in Avalon products (USDaLend, DeFi lending).
