# High-Level Platform Overview

The Coolwater dApp enables Depositors with different levels of asset origination expertise (passive vs. active) to participate in yield-generating lending and investment strategies. Active investment managers, or Lead Strategists, can borrow capital from passive Depositors in return for an ongoing royalty of the proceeds of the underlying strategy.  Coolwater:

* Securely custodies Depositor assets via MPC wallet infrastructure and address whitelisting for fund withdrawals.
* Tracks and manages investment performance via discrete investment periods called epochs.
* Processes withdrawals and airdrop distributions based on capital priority (i.e., Depositors are paid before Lead Strategist).

The below diagram shows the system architecture used for the Blender Strategy:
