🔥ASCEND Lend

The next evolution of ASCEND is strong utility.

The launch of ASCEND Lend marks a fundamental shift: from speculative flywheel mechanics to a sustainable, revenue-generating lending infrastructure that enables users to earn real yield on hyper-deflationary assets.


Lending for Deflationary Assets

ASCEND Lend is built using Morpho, a modular, permissionless lending protocol optimized for efficiency and customization. This foundation enables ASCEND to launch isolated, secure lending markets tailored specifically to tokens in the BuildOnTitanX ecosystem.

Key Benefits:

  • Earn – Put your deflationary tokens to work by lending them to borrowers to earn interest.

  • Borrow – Unlock liquidity using assets your bullish on as collateral while keeping market exposure.

  • Multiply – One-click leverage via recursive lending and borrowing.

  • Revenue Sharing – Protocol revenue funds the buy and burn, boosting staking payouts, reducing supply, and driving hyper-deflation.

  • Pay with Collateral – Repay loans automatically by selling a portion of your collateral.

Together, these features bring robust DeFi utility to emerging protocols within the TitanX ecosystem.


Earn

Earn is where your assets generate yield. Deposit tokens into vaults and they’re distributed across isolated lending markets. These markets earn interest from borrowers while keeping risks separated.

How it works:

  1. Deposit supported tokens.

  2. Distribute automatically into lending markets.

  3. Earn borrower interest + AINC incentives.

Key benefits:

  • Isolated risk for safer yields.

  • Real yield from borrowing activity.

  • Extra AINC rewards to boost APY.

With Earn, your capital powers the ecosystem, supports TitanX projects and the hyper-deflationary economy.


Borrow

Borrow lets you unlock liquidity without selling your assets. Deposit collateral into an isolated lending market and borrow supported tokens instantly.

How it works:

  1. Deposit collateral (e.g., ETH, TitanX, or other supported assets).

  2. Borrow against your collateral at safe, overcollateralized ratios.

  3. Repay at any time or even use your collateral to repay directly.

Key benefits:

  • Isolated markets for controlled risk.

  • Access liquidity without selling your holdings.

  • Keep market exposure to assets you’re bullish on.

  • Earn AINC rewards based on your total borrow position value.

With Borrow, you can access capital, compound positions, and keep your core assets working.


Multiply

Multiply is for taking a bullish position to the next level. Using recursive borrowing, you can deposit collateral, borrow against it, re-buy the same asset, and repeat, compounding exposure without adding new capital.

How it works:

  1. Deposit collateral into a lending market.

  2. Set your desired multiplier using the slider.

  3. Confirm the protocol handles the looping automatically.

Key benefits:

  • One-Click Leverage – No manual looping needed.

  • Stay Invested – Boost exposure without selling your holdings.

  • Protocol Rewards – Earn AINC on your total leveraged position.

With Multiply, leverage becomes effortless, letting you act on conviction instantly.


Universal Buy & Burn

The Universal Buy & Burn is Ascend Lend’s deflationary engine. It accepts any token, inside or outside the TitanX ecosystem and intelligently routes them through optimized swap paths to maximize impact.

How it works:

  1. Inside Capital – Interest spreads from lending markets are routed to buy and burn AINC without selling down collateral markets, preserving price stability.

  2. Outside Capital – External inflows are used to buy up TitanX, strengthening vertically stacked liquidity across the ecosystem.

  3. Intelligent Routing – Custom swap paths ensure minimal slippage and maximum burn efficiency.

Key benefits:

  • Ecosystem-Wide Liquidity Boost – Outside buys deepen TitanX liquidity, benefiting every connected protocol.

  • Sustainable Deflation – Continuous AINC burns reduce supply while rewarding those who lock AINC for protocol revenue and governance power.

  • Capital Preservation – Internal buy and burn flows avoid harming the underlying asset markets.

The Universal Buy & Burn turns every unit of protocol activity, whether from lending, borrowing, or multiplying, into upward pressure on TitanX and deflationary strength for AINC, rewarding committed participants and reinforcing the TitanX ecosystem.


Incentive

Incentives are a partner-driven reward system that rewards veAINC holders for directing AINC emissions toward specific markets or vaults.

How it works:

  1. Lock AINC to receive veAINC, gaining governance power and a share of protocol revenue.

  2. Vote to direct AINC emissions toward specific lending markets or vaults.

  3. Earn incentives – protocols can offer incentives to veAINC voters in exchange for directing emissions to their markets.

Key benefits:

  • Partner Integration – Any project can compete for AINC emissions by offering incentives.

  • Revenue for Voters – veAINC holders earn from both protocol revenue and partner incentives.

  • Aligned Growth – Incentives are steered to the most active, highest-yielding markets.

The Incentive System turns governance into an income stream, rewarding long term AINC lockers while accelerating adoption and liquidity for partner projects across the TitanX ecosystem.


Supported Assets (Launch List)

Asset
Lend
Borrow

DragonX

Morph

ORX

Auryn

TitanX

USDx

WBTC

WETH

Each borrow market has its own LLTV based on asset risk.


Interest Rate Model (IRM)

Markets use the AdaptiveCurveIRM, approved by Morpho Governance, which adjusts interest rates dynamically based on utilization.

  • Target Utilization: 90%

  • Below Target: Rates decrease to stimulate borrowing

  • Above Target: Rates increase sharply to reduce demand or attract more supply

This ensures capital efficiency while maintaining enough liquidity for withdrawals.


Liquidations

Liquidations are handled by Morpho’s permissionless and proven system:

  • Trigger: Health Factor falls to 1.0

  • Process: Open to anyone; liquidators repay part/all debt and receive discounted collateral + incentive

  • Design: First-come, first-serve via optimized execution

  • No Protocol Fee: 100% of the liquidation bonus goes to liquidators

Performance Fees

  • Vault curators typically earn performance fees.

  • But on Ascend Lend, 100% of the Vault fees are used to buy TitanX on the open market, 80% is sent to the AINC Buy & Burn and 20% is sent to the ASCEND Buy & Burn.

  • 30% of the AINC is permanently burned.

  • The other 70% is distributed as real yield to veAINC stakers.


ASCEND vs AINC

ASCEND

Fixed-supply, hyper-deflationary asset. Gains value directly from protocol growth, with burns from daily auctions, swap activity, lending and borrowing.

AINC

Emission token for incentives and governance. Fuels user activity, partner adoption, and market expansion.

In short: AINC drives growth, ASCEND holds the wealth.
