# Lince

> The Solana Yield Layer.

Lince lets users track yield opportunities and invest through automated strategies across Solana DeFi, matched to their chosen risk profile.

Lince is a yield platform for Solana DeFi users who want to invest across protocols without managing individual positions. Users can deposit into nine automated strategies organized by risk and market exposure, split yield into protected and amplified tranches, and track APY and TVL across Solana DeFi vaults. Funds are managed through on-chain smart contracts distributed across multiple Solana protocols.

## Products

- [Lince](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lince): Lince is a Solana DeFi platform offering automated investment strategies, yield risk structuring, and stablecoin spending. Nine automated strategies, Sentinel, Explorer, Pathfinder, Guardian, Balancer, Challenger, Vault Breaker, Predator, and Apex Predator, are organized by risk level (low, mid, high) and market exposure (none, mixed, full), allocating user funds across Solana protocols through lending, liquidity provision, staking, loops, and hedging. A Structured Risk feature divides yield-bearing asset returns into Shielded (senior tranche, lower but stable yield with capital protection priority) and Amplified (junior tranche, higher yield with first-loss absorption) positions, with APYs adjusting dynamically based on coverage ratio and supply. A Spend feature enables direct stablecoin payments from a user's Lince balance without manual withdrawals. (Yield Aggregator, Live, Main Product)
- [Lince Yield Tracker](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lince): Lince Yield Tracker is a free Solana DeFi data tool aggregating real-time APY and TVL across Solana yield vaults. Data is organized by protocol, asset type, and investment category, including lending, liquidity, staking, loops, RWA, fixed yield, and aggregator. Each vault entry displays current annualized yield, total value locked, investment categories, and underlying assets. (Data Terminal, Live)

## Assets

- [Lince Sentinel (SENTINEL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lince): Lince Sentinel is a vault token representing deposits in Lince's Sentinel strategy on Solana. It is used to track a depositor's proportional share of the Sentinel pool, accruing value as the pool generates stablecoin yields. Positioned at the conservative end of Lince's risk matrix, it allocates exclusively to stablecoin yield positions with no direct exposure to volatile crypto assets. (Vault Tokens)
- [Lince Guardian (GUARDIAN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lince): Lince Guardian is a vault token representing deposits in Lince's Guardian strategy on Solana.
