# Blend # Blend An origination and point-of-sale platform, integrated through the generalised origination adapter. Blend sits at the borrower-facing end of origination. What arrives from it is an application in its own shape, and the integration maps it into the canonical model so verification and pricing can run against it. It is reached through LOS and POS rather than through its own catalogue entry. ## Products it serves - LOS - Connection ## How this integration is built - **connection configuration** — The wire protocol. One repository per vendor API call, not per vendor. - **language configuration** — The field mapping between the vendor's vocabulary and the canonical model. - **flow file** — The four-way translation: canonical request, vendor request, vendor response, canonical response. - **waterfall priority** — One line naming where this vendor sits in the vertical's ordering. - **status call** — Activating the vendor for a lender, optionally with the lender's own credentials. ## Evidence This vendor is on the roster because each of the following resolves to a committed artifact. - `blend_adapter`
