Module 1 of 5
What is Concrete?
Your starting point — understand the protocol, who built it, and what problem it solves in DeFi.
Concrete is built by Blueprint Finance and has raised $17M from Polychain Capital, YZi Labs (Binance Labs), and VanEck.

On-chain yield infrastructure

Concrete automates how your crypto earns yield across multiple DeFi strategies — no manual management needed.

Liquidation protection

Quantitative models monitor your loans and deploy capital before your position gets liquidated.

Three core products

Earn — automated vaults.
Borrow — cross-protocol loans.
Protect — liquidation safety net.

Multi-chain coverage

Deployed across 5+ chains including Ethereum. Blueprint also runs Glow Finance on Solana.

At its all-time high, Concrete surpassed $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) — a key measure of trust in a DeFi protocol.

When you deposit, Concrete issues a vault token (e.g., ctETH) representing your share of the pool. The protocol then automatically routes capital to the highest-yielding strategies across Aave, Radiant, Silo, and Compound — rebalancing continuously without any action from you.

Module 3 of 5
How it works
Follow the five steps that describe the full lifecycle of interacting with Concrete — from deposit to withdrawal.
1

Deposit once

Deposit any supported asset (ETH, USDT, BTC, stablecoins) into a Concrete vault. You instantly receive a vault token representing your share of the pool.

2

Automation engine activates

Concrete's quantitative engine scans all connected lending markets, selects the optimal allocation, and routes your assets — all in real time without your input.

3

Yield compounds daily

Interest from every lending protocol is harvested and compounded back into the vault. NAV (net asset value) is updated daily with transparent on-chain reporting.

4

Borrow with protection

If you use Concrete Borrow, the Protect layer monitors your LTV ratio. If collateral drops, Concrete deploys capital in tranches before liquidation happens.

5

Withdraw on your terms

Request a withdrawal anytime. Concrete supports async withdrawals for flexible liquidity — your vault token is burned and underlying assets returned to your wallet.

Concrete also covers gas fees when you initiate loans through the Borrow product — saving you money on every interaction.
