# Glow Finance > Earn, allocate, and manage yield on Solana Glow Finance is a decentralized lending and liquid restaking platform on Solana. It lets users lend and borrow assets, deploy leveraged yield strategies, and stake SOL through its glowSOL liquid restaking token. Glow Finance is a decentralized lending protocol and liquid restaking platform on Solana. It provides pooled lending and borrowing markets, margin accounts for leveraged strategies, and liquid restaking through its glowSOL token, serving both passive yield seekers and active DeFi traders. The platform addresses fragmentation across Solana DeFi by combining multiple yield mechanisms inside a single margin account, so users can lend, borrow, and trade without moving assets between separate protocols. Deposits can simultaneously earn yield and serve as collateral, while integrations with onchain exchanges let users execute leveraged positions directly from their account. Its offering spans passive vaults for automated yield, strategy vaults for higher-conviction leveraged approaches, and lending markets that anchor the ecosystem, alongside the glowSOL liquid restaking token. It is used by depositors seeking yield, borrowers seeking capital efficiency, and traders executing leveraged strategies across the Solana ecosystem. - Type: Company - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Founded: 2025-04-14 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/glow_finance ## Products - [Glow Finance](https://thegrid.id/profiles/glow_finance): Glow Finance is a decentralized lending platform on Solana that lets users deposit assets into margin accounts to earn yield and borrow against them as collateral. The platform routes deposits into lending markets, passive vaults, and (in development) higher-conviction strategy vaults that automate leverage and capital allocation. It integrates with external Solana DeFi protocols through adapters, allowing composable strategies without leaving the platform. Margin accounts support undercollateralized borrowing against deposited collateral, and lending markets use a utilization curve and partial liquidations to manage borrower and lender rates. (Decentralised Borrowing & Lending, Live, Main Product) - [Glow Restaking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/glow_finance): Glow Restaking is a liquid restaking product on Solana that lets users stake SOL and receive glowSOL, a liquid token representing the staked position. The platform routes deposits through Solayer's validator network, allowing holders to earn staking and restaking rewards while retaining liquidity to use glowSOL elsewhere in DeFi. It operates as a separate application from Glow's main lending platform, with its own dedicated interface. (Liquid Staking, Live) ## Assets - [glowSOL (glowSOL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/glow_finance): glowSOL is a liquid staking token representing staked SOL on Glow Finance, issued through Solayer's infrastructure. It is used to earn staking yields and AVS rewards while holders also accumulate both Glow and Solayer points. The token wraps sSOL (Solayer's liquid restaking token), allowing users to maintain liquidity while participating in leveraged restaking strategies within Glow's margin account system.
