This ensures that lenders are solely exposed to the risk of ETH and XAI. Moreover, by associating all tokens with ETH or XAI, Silo avoids fragmented liquidity and enhances protocol efficiency. Unlike pure lending pair models, where each new pairing necessitates a separate market, Silo maintains a single market for every token asset.  ⁠⁠Factor ⁠⁠acts as the backbone of the DeFi hyperstructure, integrating various protocols, services, and users through secure, interoperable, and scalable liquidity management.
