Atlendis.io is an independent magazine about borrowing and lending digital assets. We cover crypto-backed loans, DeFi lending protocols, on-chain credit for real businesses and the stablecoins that move through all of them. Our readers are people who hold crypto and want to understand what happens to it once it is lent, borrowed or locked as collateral.
Why we started
Search for almost any crypto lending question and you will find the same answer repeated across dozens of pages: rewritten press releases, ranked lists with no method behind them and, more and more, AI-generated articles that summarize other summaries. The words change, the substance does not, and the risks are usually the part that gets smoothed over.
We think readers deserve better than another rewrite. Atlendis.io exists to explain how these products actually work, to show the numbers behind them and to be specific about what can go wrong.
What makes our articles different
- Something new in every article. Before we publish, we ask what the piece adds that the existing top results do not: a worked calculation, a comparison built from primary data, a mechanism explained step by step, or a question real users keep asking that nobody has answered properly. If the honest answer is nothing, we do not publish it.
- Primary sources first. Protocol documentation, smart contract parameters, audit reports, regulatory filings and court records come before blogs and news coverage.
- We do the math. Liquidation prices, effective interest after fees and the real yield on a stablecoin deposit are calculated and shown, not just described.
- Real questions from real people. We read community discussions, support forums and reader emails to find what borrowers and lenders actually struggle with, and we write for those situations.
- Plain language about risk. Every product we cover can lose money. We say how, and we say it near the top, not in the footer.
How an article gets made
- An editor approves the topic after checking that we can add something new.
- A writer researches it from primary sources and drafts it, including every calculation and source.
- A second person edits and fact-checks it: numbers are recalculated, links are opened, claims are matched to sources.
- The article is published with the author and the reviewer named, and the date it was last checked.
- We review published articles regularly and record significant changes in an update note.
The full process is described in our editorial policy and our research methodology.
How we use AI
We use software, including AI tools, where it saves time without replacing judgment: summarizing long documents, structuring research notes and checking calculations. Every article is reviewed, fact-checked and approved by a person on our team who is accountable for it, and we never publish AI output that has not been through that review.
What we are not
- We are not a lender, exchange or wallet. We never hold anyone’s funds.
- We do not give personal financial, investment or tax advice. Our content is educational; see our disclaimer.
- We do not sell editorial coverage. Where we earn money from links, we say so in our affiliate disclosure, and it never changes what we write about a product.
Who we are
Our articles are written and reviewed by the people listed on our editorial team page. Each author has a profile page with their background, areas of expertise and everything they have written for us.
Atlendis.io is an independent publication and is not affiliated with the former Atlendis protocol.
Corrections and feedback
If you find an error, an outdated number or a broken source, tell us. We correct mistakes quickly and note significant corrections at the end of the article. Our approach to corrections is set out in the editorial policy.
