Problem
Current decentralized finance (DeFi) lending markets on the Aptos blockchain lack efficiency in collateralization and composability, limiting users' ability to maximize yields on their assets. Existing platforms may not fully leverage the unique capabilities of the Move programming language, resulting in suboptimal borrowing and lending rates.

The platform allows for the rehypothecation of assets, enhancing composability within the Aptos ecosystem. By focusing on cost-effective rates and a secure, audited environment, Echelon seeks to optimize asset management for DeFi participants.
