## Overview Bend is a decentralized lending protocol built on Berachain that functions as a permissionless lending primitive layer.

The protocol integrates native Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mechanics specific to Berachain's ecosystem, allowing liquidity providers to earn rewards while supporting lending markets.
