Skaina is built on a set of core modules that work together to deliver permissionless cross-chain lending and borrowing on Moonbeam.

* **Main Interface:** Skaina is accessible through its unified interface on Moonbeam, where users can supply and borrow assets, swap collateral, and manage their portfolios in one place.
* **Collateral Supply Module** Users can deposit assets as collateral from multiple chains via LayerZero interoperability, allowing liquidity to flow seamlessly into Skaina without manual bridging.
* **Borrowing and Repayment Module:** Users can borrow supported assets and repay across chains.\
  Interest rates adjust dynamically based on utilization and asset risk profiles, ensuring efficient capital markets across the Skaina ecosystem.
* **Collateral Swap Module:** Skaina provides native in-protocol collateral swap functionality, giving users the flexibility to manage risk, optimize collateral composition, and reduce liquidation probability all without leaving the platform.
* **Liquidation Module:** This module maintains protocol stability by liquidating undercollateralized positions. Liquidators are incentivized to keep all markets solvent and balanced, ensuring long-term security for lenders.
* **Oracle and Risk Management:** Skaina uses **API3 decentralized oracles** for real-time price data and dynamic risk modeling. These feeds ensure accurate collateral valuation, fair interest rate adjustments, and efficient liquidation processes across chains.
