Welcome to Polyester

Polyester is a decentralized financial platform that brings trading, lending, vaults, and asset management together into a unified system.


The Problem Polyester Solves

Crypto assets today are fragmented across multiple chains or sit idle with no clear path into active markets.

The same asset can exist on multiple networks, liquidity is split, and users are forced to move capital between isolated products to trade, lend, or manage risk.

Polyester solves this by unifying assets, providing utility to idle assets, and facilitating multiple products within one platform.


Unified Assets and Liquidity

Polyester Unified Assets

On Polyester, listed tokens that exist on multiple external chains are unified to improve liquidity.

Unification occurs when tokens enter the Funding Account.

Although tokens will flow into Polyester from multiple external chains, users will only interact with the native ticker names such as BTC, USDT, or ETH.

Which Assets Are Listed on Polyester Exchange
Available tokens can be found on the Markets page or in the deposit flow. Only listed assets will appear as available to deposit to the Polyester Exchange.

Direct Movement Between Products

Polyester Direct Movement Between Products

Trading, lending, vaults, and asset management are all connected within Polyester. Capital can move between them instantly.

No need to withdraw to a wallet, bridge, or redeposit.


Exchange Core Products

The Polyester Exchange Core Products are the primary protocols that make up the exchange itself.

These components work together to unify assets, manage capital, trade, lend, borrow, and access vaults.

Funding Account: The hub where assets are unified and become eligible for use across the exchange.

Unified Trading Account: The margin account used for all spot trading activity.

Lending Account: Supply unified assets into lending pools to earn interest. Use supplied assets as collateral to borrow against them.

Vaults: Fixed-yield vaults tied to specific trading pairs that support spot market liquidity.

PolyEngine: The execution layer of the Polyester Exchange.


Exchange Infrastructure

The Polyester Exchange Infrastructure consists of the supporting systems that enable asset entry, verification, and visibility across the platform.

Zipper: Polyester's cross-chain wrapping layer. It powers deposits and withdrawals by managing how external assets enter and exit the exchange.

Polyester Chain: Polyester's custom Layer-1 that maintains accounts, balances, and protocol state.

Polyester Scan: Provides visibility into on-chain activity related to the Polyester Exchange.

Funding Account: The Funding Account is part of both the core and the infrastructure. zAssets are sent here by Zipper to be unified.
