Description
The protocol enables cryptocurrency loans without requiring any crypto assets as collateral. This innovation is the crucial element that finally makes crypto lending accessible to a larger segment of the global population. Through the Goldfinch community, loans are provided to businesses around the globe, particularly focusing on emerging markets. Goldfinch aims to broaden the availability of capital in these regions, where cryptocurrencies can significantly advance financial inclusivity. By utilizing the concept of trust built through consensus, the Goldfinch protocol allows borrowers to demonstrate their creditworthiness based on the shared evaluations of other users, rather than relying solely on their cryptocurrency holdings. This collective evaluation serves as a key indicator for the automatic distribution of funds. By eliminating the necessity for crypto collateral and offering a means for generating passive income, the protocol significantly increases the number of potential borrowers able to access cryptocurrency solutions, as well as the array of capital providers seeking investment opportunities. Ultimately, this model fosters a more inclusive financial ecosystem that benefits a diverse range of participants.
Description
Liquity is a decentralized lending platform that enables users to obtain loans at a 0% interest rate by using Ether as collateral. These loans are issued in LUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, and borrowers must maintain a minimum collateral ratio of just 110%. The loans are further secured by a Stability Pool that consists of LUSD and by other borrowers who act as guarantors in case of default. For those interested, more information about these safety mechanisms can be found under the Liquidations section. As a protocol, Liquity operates without custody, is immutable, and does not have any governance structures in place. The core philosophy of Liquity emphasizes that its product layer is as decentralized as the smart contracts it employs. Frontend operations are managed by independent third-party operators who are motivated by LQTY rewards. Liquity was launched as a fully operational system designed to function independently, without the need for human oversight. Importantly, the contracts cannot be altered or upgraded, ensuring that no individual possesses special privileges within the system, thereby maintaining its integrity and trustlessness. This commitment to decentralization reinforces the foundational principles of blockchain technology.
