Orkid vs Maple Finance

TL;DR: Institutional on-chain credit marketplace. The only credit infrastructure that natively routes deposits to yield-generating positions across EVM chains and Hedera. Not just a tokenization wrapper — a full credit rail. Orkid provides the infrastructure layer — depository accounting, credit expansion, and yield routing. Maple is a lending marketplace; Orkid is the rail that makes credit programmable and portable across chains.
