Rejected venues wait the longest for re-review; a rejection has to earn another look before the scheduled date.

JustLend is a Compound-v2-style pooled lending market on Tron: suppliers receive jTokens, borrowers post overcollateralized assets, and utilization drives floating rates. It held about $3.35B at the 2026-08-14 survey. This is not an adverse protocol finding or an individual approval review. The standing rejected-chain rule is dispositive because every jToken claim, oracle update, liquidation and withdrawal ultimately depends on Tron’s 27-member Super Representative set; TRON DAO’s Q1 2026 report says the top 13 held 68% of voting weight. Protocol audits and on-chain governance do not remove that settlement-layer concentration.

The research file

The mechanism

JustLend’s Supply and Borrow Market follows the Compound v2 pattern. A deposit mints an interest-bearing jToken; borrowers must supply collateral; a Comptroller enforces collateral factors and liquidations; and each market’s rate model maps cash, borrows and reserves into borrow and supply rates. Lender yield is therefore borrower interest, not a fixed protocol payment, and withdrawal capacity depends on unborrowed market cash.

Control and record

JustLend documents GovernorBravo and a Timelock for JST governance, plus separate Comptroller, oracle and market contracts. Those controls matter to a protocol review, but they sit above Tron consensus. TRON’s MiCA white paper says the 27 candidates with the most votes validate transactions and produce blocks; TRON DAO’s own Q1 2026 report puts 68% of voting weight with the top 13 Super Representatives. We did not identify a JustLend loss event that changes the class decision; absence of such an event is not an approval finding.

The exit

A supplier redeems jTokens for the underlying asset only while the relevant market has cash; high utilization can delay a full exit until borrowers repay or liquidations free liquidity. Even a solvent market cannot execute withdrawals if Tron consensus or block production is unavailable. That chain dependency is inseparable from the position.

Why the class rule decides

The rejected-chain disposition stops the analysis before asset selection, rate quality or contract merits can make JustLend eligible. This file records protocol-specific facts so the exclusion is intelligible; it does not claim JustLend was individually underwritten and rejected. Review reopens if Tron passes the chain framework or JustLend establishes material liquidity on an approved settlement chain.

Sources

The claims above trace to these. Where a number could not be independently verified, the thesis says so.

Inherited controls

The verdict above grades the protocol layer. Every position also inherits the asset it holds and the chain it settles on. The least safe layer sets the position’s grade, and the position table names which one that is.
