## About Clearpool

[Clearpool](https://clearpool.finance/) is built to address the growing demand
for unsecured liquidity in the DeFi market.
Clearpool solves the problem of over-collateralization - a significant pain
point for institutional borrowers in DeFi but also includes yield-earning
opportunities for all types of lenders.
Clearpool opens the doors to the credit market,
which has traditionally been closed to retail investors,
and gives institutional borrowers direct access to a diversified
and decentralized network of lenders.

## Holdex x Clearpool

With the help of the Holdex team,
Clearpool has expanded on its multitude of financial instruments
for institutional borrowers,
introducing products like Clearpool Prime and Term Pools.
Prime enables borrowers to work directly with KYC/AML-compliant institutional
lenders.
In contrast, Term Pools would allow borrowers to lock lender liquidity
for a fixed time in exchange for more rewards.

Holdex’s duty was to develop smart contracts and engineer a Dapp
that would satisfy the UX/UI requirements of the DeFi institutions.
Solidity was selected as the technology for smart contracts
since the product was launched on all significant EVM networks.
For the Dapps, our engineering team went with Svelte.

> Clearpool Permissionless, Clearpool Prime, Term Pools,
> and Bridge are available on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, zkEVM, and Optimism.

We proudly claim that all our developed smart contracts have been
[audited](https://docs.clearpool.finance/clearpool/security/smart-contracts) by
leading companies like Hacken, CertiK, and Pessimistic with a successful result
of 100% contract coverage and 0 Critical, Major, or Medium issues.

While Clearpool Prime was a completely independent product,
the most critical Term Pool requirement was the DeFi composability
and complete connection with the existing Permissionless protocol.
Thankfully, upgradable smart contracts enabled us to modify existing
functionality to work with the Term Pool smart contracts.
During the process, the original Dapp was built from the ground up on Svelte,
enabling us to easily use a shared component library between all Clearpool
products.
