Atomica Protocol
Arenas Financing Markets financing runs on top of the Atomica Protocol, which acts as the engine for risk and financing products. You don’t interact with Atomica directly, but it defines how Arenas financing markets work under the hood.
What Atomica does for Arenas
Atomica provides configurable financing products that Arenas uses as a base template for all Financing Markets. This product defines high-level rules that are shared across markets, such as:
Capital / borrow token – which asset is used for supplying and borrowing (e.g. USDC).
Oracles – which price feeds are trusted for rates and accounting.
Financing market – the contract that actually sends funds to borrowers and receives repayments
Withdraw rules for LPs – optional delays and expiry windows for withdrawal requests.
Fee limits – maximum % of interest that can be taken as protocol or market manager fees.
Who can create markets – an allowlist of addresses that are allowed to deploy new Financing markets on this product.

How this affects you
As a lender or borrower you mainly interact with:
The Financing market UI (specific financing pool / program), and
The market operator (or approver) who approves obligations.
Atomica stays in the background and ensures that:
All markets on Arenas follow the same core rules,
Fees and permissions stay within predefined limits, and
Liquidity, payouts and repayments use the same standardized engine.
