# Introduction Clio DeFi is a DeFi protocol suite on **BNB Smart Chain**. Where most onchain interfaces present finance as disconnected actions, Clio presents a unified execution surface where swap, staking, and lending positions are managed in one system. The product is structured around three modules: **Swap** (efficient token exchange), **Stake** (curated single-asset yield pools), and **Lend** (collateralized borrowing with visible risk metrics). Clio is named after Clio, the Greek Muse of history. The name reflects our product thesis: finance software should not hide context. Users need clear records, measurable risk, and transparent execution. This document describes the system in detail: the problem we are addressing, the architecture of our response, the token that aligns participants, and the team and governance plan that backs it. ### At a Glance * **Chain:** BNB Smart Chain (chainId 56) * **Wallets supported:** MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom * **Status at publication:** Phase II — public mainnet launch, security review planning, initial liquidity bootstrap * **Security reviews:** Independent review process in planning * **Community:** X and Telegram (links in [Community & Governance](broken://pages/1a65c6cb6f8a086f38a54bccf40ebe1e0d8f9ba8)) --- # 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.
