Interest Protocol is launching on Ethereum today, June 13th, 2022, and simultaneously starting its token sale. Check if your address is on the whitelist.
Interest Protocol is a borrow/lend protocol that adapts the fractional reserve system of banks to DeFi. Instead of posting houses as collateral and borrowing dollars, Interest Protocol users post wETH, wBTC, and UNI as collateral and borrow a stablecoin called USDi. Instead of depositing dollars into a bank and earning next to nothing in interest, Interest Protocol users deposit USDC into the protocol and receive the lion’s share of the interest paid by borrowers. While we have improved upon all of the core pieces of a borrow/lend protocol, such as the liquidation mechanism and the collateral system, Interest Protocol’s main innovation is the capital efficiency that comes from lending out its own stablecoin. Interest Protocol combines the capital efficiency of the fractional reserve system with the safety of over-collateralized loans.
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compiance, and pirvacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
