Collateralized Liquidity Tokens (CLTs) are blockchain-based tokens that provide liquidity while being backed by an underlying asset, or collateral. These tokens are crucial in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) as they offer security and stability for liquidity providers by reducing risks associated with market volatility. The CLT Development Process involves creating smart contracts to lock assets and mint tokens, allowing users to participate in DeFi protocols without fully exposing their assets to risk. CLTs enable efficient Blockchain Liquidity Management and play a key role in Decentralized Finance Asset Protection.
