# Super Application Layer

**What is an SAL?** 

SAL, or "Super Application Layer" refers to Lychee's ability to harness the power of your favorite DeFi applications. Lychee wraps these protocols into a sleek interface and consolidates them into a single user-friendly framework. 

What this means for you is not having to switch between a variety of applications. Now, everything is conveniently located under one roof. 

**Lychee's Mission**

Lychee's ultimate goal is to consolidate all primary DeFi platforms (those deemed extraordinarily safe and which feature deep liquidity) into 1 interface for ease of use. When Lychee identifies a unique opportunity for capital generation in a niche market segment, Lychee's contributors may submit a governance proposal to the community requesting authorization to design, engineer, fund, and deploy a new protocol for sustained growth. 

**How does Lychee earn revenue?**

Similar to how the App Store takes a fee when you purchase an app on your phone, Lychee takes a small fee when you use it for DeFi transactions. 

**Where is Lychee's Super Application Layer available?** 

Deployed initially on Ethereum mainnet, Lychee's Super Application Layer may evolve and expand across most major EVM-compatible chains. 

**The Advantages of Unified Liquidity**

Lychee's predecessor platform was reliant on generating liquidity through its own protocols developed in house. Conversely, Lychee now taps into existing liquidity solutions, serving as a wrapper, enabling users to take advantage of the benefits conferred by harnessing access to protocols with pre-existing deep liquidity.
