# Crypto-Native Applications and DeFi Tooling

Torram’s infrastructure also powers a growing ecosystem of crypto-native protocols that require secure, on-chain data for DeFi automation, lending markets, and emerging primitives.&#x20;

These use cases include:&#x20;

\- Bitcoin-Collateralized Lending: Platforms like Salt Lending and others enable users to take loans against their Bitcoin holdings without selling the underlying asset. Torram’s oracles provide the real-time pricing required to assess collateral value, automate margin calls, and trigger liquidations, all without centralized risk.&#x20;

\- Decentralized Savings & Staking Products: Crypto-native users and DAOs can build automated yield strategies using Torram’s oracle network for interest rate feeds, market analytics, and risk-adjusted lending rates.&#x20;

\- Synthetic Asset Protocols: Developers can build synthetic representations of off-chain assets (e.g., stocks, indexes, commodities) on Bitcoin using Torram’s data feeds. These tools allow users to gain exposure to non-crypto assets in a decentralized and censorship-resistant way.&#x20;

\- Trustless On-Chain Derivatives: Futures, options, and volatility markets can be built on Bitcoin, leveraging Torram’s verifiable price data and time-stamped data history to reduce counterparty risk and enable fully decentralized trade execution.&#x20;
