# What is Unison?

Unison is the next generation decentralized asset management protocol built using general cross-chain messaging providers - Axelar & LayerZero. A truly cross chain, trustless and permissionless protocol, Unison aims to provide the best and most efficient way to manage your assets across 50+ chains.

On the core level, Unison solves some of the major problems faced by current yield aggregators -&#x20;

**Capital Inefficiency** : The existing yield products, including multi-chain protocols, have the strategies isolated to a single network leading into inefficiencies in generating yield.&#x20;

**Scalability** : With increasing TVL, a multi-chain or single chain protocol becomes hard to scale as it limits their options to deploy funds.

As an asset management protocol, Unison caters both retail and institutional users. The protocol can be further categorized based on functionality and use cases as -

* [Public](product-overview/public)
* [DAOs](product-overview/daos)
* [Lending & Borrowing](product-overview/lending-and-borrowing)
