Aave Horizon provides non-custodial liquidity markets where users can supply assets and earn interest.
Twyne
Twyne lets depositors delegate unused borrowing capacity so borrowers can reserve credit in isolated vaults on Aave and Euler.
About Twyne
Twyne is a noncustodial credit-delegation layer for lending markets, live on Aave and Euler. Depositors delegate borrowing power they are not using; their assets stay in the lending market and continue earning lending yield, while borrowers reserve that credit in isolated vaults to reach higher leverage. Borrowers pick their own maximum leverage and reserve credit separately, and pay the underlying market rate plus a credit fee to Twyne. Each integration inherits the risk of the market it sits on, and markets are isolated so a problem in one does not cascade to another. If a credit-backed position reaches liquidation, Twyne's threshold is meant to be reached before the underlying market's so the position closes internally with reserved credit untouched; if no liquidator acts and the underlying market closes it instead, any shortfall left after the borrower's collateral can fall on reserved credit. High utilization can temporarily lock withdrawals, and Twyne states audits, fuzz testing and a bug bounty are published.

Twyne FAQ
What happens if a credit-backed position is liquidated?
Twyne's threshold is reached before the underlying market's, so an internal liquidation should close the position first and leave reserved credit untouched. If no liquidator acts in time and the underlying market closes it, the borrower's collateral absorbs any shortfall first, and only what remains falls on the reserved credit.
How do creditors earn from delegating?
Their assets stay in the lending market and keep earning lending yield, and they receive a delegation fee paid by the borrower.
What does a borrower pay to use reserved credit?
The underlying lending market rate plus a credit fee to Twyne, which adds one extra variable rate compared with vanilla lending.
