Choose your path
OpenAsset is one protocol with several ways to use it. Start with the outcome you need, then follow the workflow and read the protocol details behind it.
| If you are a… | You want to… | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidity provider or market creator | Launch an isolated market, set its terms, choose adapters, and seed liquidity. | Create a market |
| Borrower | Find a market, check its terms and eligibility rules, borrow stablecoins, and understand repayment and liquidation. | Borrow against collateral |
| Adapter author or integrator | Connect an asset, oracle, compliance rule, liquidation path, or position type to the core engine. | Use adapters |
| RWA or tokenized-asset issuer | Decide whether an issuer-backed market meets the oracle, compliance, settlement, and legal requirements. | Launch an RWA market |
| Auditor or security reviewer | Trace trust boundaries, validation rules, invariants, and failure paths. | Review the security model |
| Agent or documentation consumer | Retrieve the synchronized, machine-readable source of the docs. | Read the agent-readable docs |
The main journeys
Create and operate a market
A market creator chooses the collateral asset, selects compatible adapters, sets LTV, APR, duration, grace, and circuit-breaker parameters, and supplies stablecoin liquidity. The Factory validates the configuration and deploys an isolated LendingMarket.
Start with Create a market, then read the adapter system, validation matrix, and trust model.
Borrow against collateral
A borrower reviews a market’s collateral asset, LTV, APR, duration, oracle, liquidation path, position type, and adapter trust status before depositing. The application checks eligibility before wallet approval when a Compliance Adapter is configured.
Start with Borrow against collateral, then read the loan lifecycle.
Build an adapter or integration
An adapter author implements one of the five adapter interfaces, registers the adapter, and understands how the engine verifies its outputs. Verified status is a review signal, not a replacement for defensive checks.
Start with Use adapters, then read the adapter system, adapter trust model, and adapter registry.
Launch an RWA market
An issuer or market creator must account for issuer custody, transfer restrictions, compliance, session-aware pricing, asynchronous redemption, and legal review. Issuer insolvency and redemption failure remain risks outside the protocol’s contract-level guarantees.
Start with Launch an RWA market, then read RWA and tokenized equity support.
Review security
A reviewer can trace the core engine’s trust boundaries, adapter output checks, validation rules, circuit-breaker behavior, liquidation state machine, and operational controls.
Start with the security model, then use the security checklist.
