# Introduction

**Sake Finance** utilizes a decentralized lending market using the industry-leading Aave V3 design.  The borrow and lend market serves as the source of liquidity which enables the ecosystem of products under Sake Finance. 

Our lending market follows these 3 key principles:

1. Security first

We utilize a time tested smart contract design with carefully determined liquidation parameters to ensure robustness under various market conditions.

2. Innovative integrations

We aim to stay at the forefront of innovation by integrating with the most in-demand native and omnichain assets. Many of these assets give our users superb yield generation opportunities.

3. Seamless user experience

We are simplifying the user experience for DeFi by making our product fun and engaging. Our product offers powerful features while keeping the complexities behind the scenes.
