# Technical Architecture

Peridot Protocol is engineered for **cross-chain scalability**, **security**, and **capital efficiency**.

At the core of the system is a modular architecture designed to unify liquidity across chains, minimize user friction, and enable sophisticated investment strategies alongside traditional lending operations.

This section explores how the protocol is constructed, including:

* **Our Hub & Spoke model for optimal liquidity concentration**
* **Integration with Axelar's decentralized cross-chain infrastructure**
* **Enhanced Compound V2 lending mechanics with cross-chain capabilities**
* **Dual investment system architecture for advanced financial products**
* **Oracle integrations with Chainlink for reliable price feeds and risk management**
