I've been following Soul Protocol's developments for a while. Although I haven't seen an official formal announcement yet, I'm quite optimistic about this project.

After careful research, I realized that what truly makes Soul Protocol impressive isn't just the technology itself, but how it uses a bridge-less architecture approach to significantly reduce friction in DeFi and cross-chain lending. By utilizing cross-chain solutions like LayerZero, the entire lending process becomes much smoother than traditional models. This architectural design directly lowers user costs and improves capital flow efficiency. In other words, it truly makes cross-chain lending user-friendly.
