Use Cases
Use case as a lender
Allows any protocol to tap into its treasury and turn it into a lending & borrowing platform, on their own terms. Lenders can create loans out of their wallets or treasuries.
Borrowing power is unlocked for the protocol’s native token.
Vendor can act as a buyback mechanism. During a default period, the protocol simply get’s their own tokens back at a predetermined price acting similar to a buy-back mechanism.
Example of lending: A protocol has $10,000,000 in USDC. The protocol can then lend out those funds at an interest rate of 1% due at the end of the month. The lender knows exactly how much interest they could make and the exact date to expect the income.
Use case as a borrower
Deposit collateral instead of selling your tokens.
Borrow without worry of liquidations.
Reinvest the borrowed assets without a fear that the interest of the loan will outpace the yield.
Use it as a hedge against your deposited collateral. If you loan becomes greater in value than your collateral by the repayment due date, keep your loan and default on your collateral.
Request loans for preatty much any asset there is.
Example: A lender is accepting wETH as collateral with a lent token of USDC. You deposit your 1 wETH to receive $1,000 USDC at a fixed interest rate of 1% due at the end of the month. You can borrow the $1,000 USDC and farm at a higher interest rate of 10%.
