Jupiter Lend, a leading lending platform on Solana, has faced backlash amid allegations of ‘false advertising’ about risk.

According to critics, the platform ‘lied’ about its isolated risk and its rehypothecation could spark a wider DeFi contagion. 

Responding to the allegations, Jupiter Lend’s Kash Dhanda acknowledged that the initial ‘zero contagion’ claim from his team was not ‘100% correct’ and added,

Kamino slams Jupiter Lend

The scrutiny began after Samyak Jain, founder of Fluid, acknowledged that Jupiter Lend vaults re-use users’ collateral for yield hunting and are ‘not completely isolated.’ 

Marius, founder of another Solana lending DeFi Kamino, noted that Jain’s statement contradicted his (Jupiter Lend) rival’s earlier claims of ‘no contagion’ risk. 

For him, this meant “misleading users” and denting trust. As a result, Marius said Kamino blocked a migration tool to Jupiter Lend to mitigate the risk.

For Tushar Jain, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital, the team at Jupiter was either ‘incompetent’ or ‘misleading users to attract deposits.’ 

Market reactions

Despite the crisis, there were no massive outflows from Jupiter Lend as of writing.

According to DeFiLlama, the lending protocol saw $36.5 million in Daily Inflows on the 6th of December and an additional $26 million on the day after.

This suggested that the situation didn’t trigger massive investor panic, at least by the time of going to press. 

Jupiter Lend is part of the broader Jupiter ecosystem, which entails a DEX aggregator, staking, prediction, spot, and perpetual market trading, and more.  

However, in terms of lending traction, Kamino had a total locked value (TVL) worth over $3B, doubling Jupiter Lend’s size. However, the latter has been eroding Kamino’s share since October, per Token Terminal.

Final Thoughts

  • Jupiter Lend exec clarified the misleading ‘zero risk’ claims amid community backlash.
  • Surprisingly, there was no massive investor panic as Daily Inflows remained steady.

While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment.

That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame.
