Our mission is to create the first decentralized system of
crypto-credit money in the world, empowering people
to take back control over their own money – without
the commercial banks and fees.
How it Works
Decentralized Marketplace
Our decentralized global marketplace enables peer-to-peer lending of ether and stablecoins.
Tokenization of Credit
Loan agreements are transformed into freshly minted ERC20 Smart Money tokens. The principal value of Smart Money tokens is protected.
Crypto-Credit Money
As a lender, you can use your lent money in the form of freshly minted crypto-credit money – Smart Money tokens – to pay third parties. In turn, they are able to pay other parties, and so on.
As a borrower, your principal and interest payments are automatically dispatched to the Smart Money token holders.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is managed through a combination of collateral, mandatory loan insurance, legal enforcement of contracts, credit scoring, and several other parameters.
Benefits
Borrowers
You can borrow ether or stablecoins – with less collateral than other platforms – thanks to the automated credit risk rating!
Lenders
You remain liquid. The newly minted Smart Money tokens, backed up by the loan agreement, are distributed to the lender.
As a lender, you can use the newly minted crypto-credit money to pay third parties. In turn, they are able to pay further parties, who can then do the same. So, you can lend your ether while maintaining liquidity.
All SmartCredit.io loans are principal-protected. The loss provisions fund steps in if the borrower doesn’t pay.
All loans are based on legally enforceable, peer-to-peer loan agreements. The insurance will initiate legal proceedings against non-performing borrowers.
Online Buyers
As an online buyer, you can use SmartCredit.io to buy on crypto-credit – without the credit card companies. We cut out and disintermediate the middlemen.
Online Merchants
As an online merchant, you can lend to your buyers at your own conditions. You are able to sell on crypto-credit without involving any credit card intermediaries.
As a merchant, you maintain liquidity after lending. You can use freshly minted crypto-credit money to pay third parties, who in turn can pay further parties and so on.
Compared to our Competition
The first generation of our competitors use overcollateralized lending: “I’ll lend you 100 tokens, if you give me 200 ERC20 tokens as collateral.” Why would you accept this?
The second generation of our competitors use overcollateralization with margin calls: “I’ll lend you 100%, if you give me 200% collateral, but I’ll sell your collateral if collateral price to loan value declines to 130%”. This works fine until the first collateral firesale…
