Horizon Protocol Description
Horizon Protocol is a decentralized DeFi platform that allows for "mainstream DeFi" (borrowing and lending, liquidity) to be extended to the creation of on-chain synthetic resources representing the real economy. Creation and liquidity provision for synthetic assets that are tied to real-world instruments and assets. Participants receive tokens and rewards for providing stablecoins and main coins to back synthetic asset. This is done in order to replicate the price, volatility, risk / return/ valuation profiles of the underlying assets. Horizon will include an experimental asset verification protocol. This protocol will allow verification and synthetic replication physical assets and other instruments that have value in the real world. This is used to connect to demand, price, and market data to help price synthetic instruments.
