Ether.​fi Partners with Ink to Deliver Institutional Yield to 10M+ Users

**Email authentication now available** for treasury and operations teams, replacing wallet-only access requirements. **Key changes:** - Non-DeFi-native teams can now operate treasury functions - Granular user permissions introduced - Full audit trail maintained for institutional compliance This update follows the April launch of Permissions Audits, which addressed access control vulnerabilities—a leading cause of DeFi exploits. The new authentication system allows traditional finance teams to manage digital assets without requiring deep DeFi expertise, while preserving the security and transparency standards institutions demand.

The platform serves accredited investors with cash management, RWA lending, and digital asset lending solutions.

Maple has launched the **Borrower Hub**, a new operating layer designed to connect decentralized finance credit infrastructure with institutional-grade operations. The platform combines: - Smart contract-based credit infrastructure - Institutional-quality user experience - Streamlined onchain borrowing processes The Borrower Hub aims to close the operational gap between traditional DeFi credit protocols and the requirements of institutional borrowers. While smart contracts handle the underlying credit mechanics, the Hub focuses on delivering a professional interface and workflow. The platform is now accessible at [app.maple.finance/borrow](http://app.maple.finance/borrow).

Maple has extended its dollar yield assets across seven blockchain networks: Ethereum, Solana, Plasma, Arbitrum, Ink, Base, and BNB Chain. The expansion is powered by **Chainlink's infrastructure**, enabling cross-chain functionality for Maple's yield products. This represents significant growth from February 2026, when Maple operated on five chains. The addition of **Ink and BNB Chain** marks the latest phase of the platform's multi-chain strategy. Key developments: - Seven-chain deployment for dollar yield assets - Chainlink integration for cross-chain operations - Continued expansion beyond initial five-chain launch The multi-chain approach aims to increase accessibility and distribution of Maple's yield products across different blockchain ecosystems.
