Orchid Architecture

Orchid is built around a real-time lending system where users supply assets, borrow against collateral, and earn yield through live market activity.

At the core of Orchid is a set of lending markets that continuously adjust rates based on supply, demand, and utilization. Interest rates respond dynamically as conditions change, ensuring that pricing reflects actual usage rather than static assumptions.

Risk management is enforced through transparent collateral parameters, health factors, and liquidation thresholds that update instantly. Positions are evaluated continuously, allowing Orchid to react to market movement without delayed state changes.

Orchid is designed to operate as infrastructure rather than a governance-driven product. Protocol behavior is defined by risk parameters and market mechanics, not ongoing votes or discretionary intervention.

Security is treated as foundational. The system is built with strict isolation between positions where appropriate and relies on clearly defined execution paths to reduce complexity and attack surface.

Orchid’s architecture prioritizes speed, clarity, and resilience, enabling lending that stays synchronized as markets move.
