# Introduction ### What is Pyron? Pyron is the asset productivity layer of Fogo. At its core, it is a composable, efficient, and scalable lending and borrowing protocol built natively for Fogo’s high-speed architecture. It is designed to enable smooth capital movement between positions. Users can supply supported assets to earn interest or use them as collateral to borrow other assets. By integrating directly with Fogo’s infrastructure, Pyron benefits from low latency and fast execution, enabling real-time lending operations without off-chain intermediaries. *** ### Why Fogo? Fogo isn’t a general-purpose chain. It’s built for performance, with Firedancer, colocated validators, and a real-time architecture that makes DeFi execution feel instant.That’s why Pyron chose it.By building directly on Fogo, Pyron avoids the usual latency, bloat, and UX lag of other chains.Instead, users get fast, native execution and builders get a clean, composable foundation. *** ### What does Pyron unlock? * On-chain execution with low latency * Lending with asset-specific risk parameters * Compatibility with other on-chain strategies and contracts * Transparent and verifiable protocol logic Whether you’re a trader, LP, or strategy builder, Pyron is built to keep up. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
