Gearbox Protocol

The Gearbox Protocol facilitates a range of activities aimed at enhancing capital efficiency within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It supports:

• Margin trading on platforms like Uniswap
• Leverage farming on Curve and Balancer
• Leverage staking on protocols such as Lido

Moreover, Gearbox enables the integration of leverage into various DeFi protocols, NFTs, and real-world assets (RWA), thus broadening the scope of leverage use in the ecosystem. The leverage provided by Gearbox is executed with real assets across third-party protocols, avoiding the need for perpetuals or funding rates. This model promotes a permissionless, non-custodial approach to leverage, where users maintain control over their funds while participating actively in the DeFi market.
