# 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.
