Solana Lending Internal Conflict: The Power Struggle Behind Foundation Mediation
Over the weekend, a public dispute erupted between Solana's two leading lending protocols, Jupiter Lend and Kamino. The conflict originated from Jupiter's earlier marketing claims that its lending product featured "risk isolation," implying that different lending pools would not be exposed to cross-contagion in the event of an asset failure.
However, after Jupiter Lend launched, the market observed that its design did not align with the conventional understanding of risk isolation. The protocol allows for the rehypothecation (re-use) of collateral across pools to improve capital efficiency, which critics argue creates potential channels for risk contagion. Kamino's co-founder, Marius Ciubotariu, publicly accused Jupiter of misleading users with false advertising and subsequently blocked a migration tool from Kamino to Jupiter Lend.
The core of the debate lies in differing interpretations of "risk isolation." Jupiter and its supporters argue their model offers a balanced approach with independent pool configurations, while Kamino and its allies insist that any form of rehypothecation negates true risk isolation and constitutes a failure in disclosure.
The dispute drew reactions from key ecosystem players. Multicoin Capital, an investor in Kamino, strongly criticized Jupiter, accusing the team of either incompetence or intentional deception. In contrast, the Solana Foundation President, Lily Liu, called for unity, urging the two projects to focus on growing the overall market share against competitors like Ethereum rather than engaging in internal conflict.
The clash is seen as an inevitable result of intensifying competition in a shrinking market. Jupiter Lend has been rapidly capturing market share from the formerly dominant Kamino since its launch. In a tighter, post-market-crash environment where safety is a paramount concern, Kamino seized on a perceived vulnerability in Jupiter's product design to launch a competitive attack. The incident highlights the fierce battle for dominance in Solana's DeFi lending sector.
