Euler Description
The first permissionless crypto lending markets are near. Euler, a non-custodial protocol for Ethereum, allows users to lend or borrow almost any crypto asset. Euler allows its users to decide which assets are listed. Any asset with a WETH pair via Uniswap v3 may be added. Euler uses a system with asset tiers to maximize capital efficiency and minimize systemic risk. Euler uses control theory-backed interest rate models to minimize governance and aim for capital efficiency. Euler uses a Dutch auction and a discount booster to liquidity providers to limit the value extraction from liquidations. Euler allows users to withhold collateral from borrowers. This reduces trading risks, short selling opportunities and governance manipulation. Euler offers stability pools that allow lenders to passively swap their tokens with a discounted basket collateral assets during liquidations.
