ACME Markets

ACME Markets is developed by Hello Moon, a blockchain infrastructure company with deep roots in institutional DeFi. The project grew directly from the team's existing relationships with institutional counterparties and their understanding of the structural barriers that have prevented regulated participants from accessing decentralized credit markets.

Hello Moon's institutional expertise informed every aspect of ACME's design — from its permissioned access model to its overcollateralization mechanics — resulting in a protocol purpose-built for the compliance requirements of professional finance.

ACME operates as an overcollateralized borrow-lend marketplace, giving lenders the ability to earn yield on idle institutional assets while allowing borrowers to access liquidity without selling their positions. The platform is designed exclusively for institutional participants, offering compliant, permissioned access to decentralized credit markets.

• Lenders earn competitive, utilization-driven APY on collateralized positions
• Borrowers access liquidity without unwinding holdings
• Permissioned access model aligned with regulated finance requirements
• Composable architecture compatible with broader Canton DeFi primitives

Canton's permissioned, privacy-preserving architecture is purpose-built for institutional finance. It supports the confidentiality and compliance requirements that public chains are structurally unable to provide. For ACME, this means serving institutional counterparties who cannot operate on open, anonymous networks — without forcing them to sacrifice transparency or yield.

ACME is the first overcollateralized borrow-lend protocol on Canton, directly addressing the gap between traditional finance and institutional DeFi. The Hello Moon team brings both deep infrastructure expertise and direct institutional relationships — a combination that is rare among Canton-native DeFi teams and gives ACME a meaningful head start in building liquidity partnerships.

Lending Market

ACME Lend gives institutional users a structured way to supply assets, borrow against collateral, and manage positions inside Canton’s privacy-preserving financial environment.

Collateral and Rates

The protocol is designed around overcollateralized borrowing, utilization-driven rates, collateral tracking, and transparent position management.

User Experience

The profile should focus on the core workflow: deposit collateral, borrow or lend supported assets, monitor positions, and manage risk through the platform dashboard.

ACME sits at the intersection of institutional credit and Canton-native DeFi. The product challenge is making lending-market mechanics feel familiar to professional users while using Canton’s privacy and settlement model underneath.

ACME adds a core credit primitive to Canton. Lending markets are foundational for any financial ecosystem because they turn idle assets into productive capital and give borrowers liquidity without forcing asset sales.

Lenders earn competitive APY on collateralized positions. Rates are dynamic and driven by utilization and prevailing market conditions, ensuring that returns reflect real demand for liquidity on the platform.

ACME’s current user flow centers on supplying, lending, and borrowing through the app. Any reward terms, supported assets, and eligibility requirements should be checked in the live platform before participating.

ACME's near-term roadmap is focused on expanding the whitelist of institutional liquidity partners and broadening the range of supported assets to grow total value locked. Over the longer term, the team aims to deepen its relationships with other ecosystem stakeholders and build out additional DeFi primitives layered on top of the core borrow-lend protocol.
