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
- We offer peer-to-peer lending/borrowing of ether and stablecoins.
- You will control your assets, you will control your private keys.
Tokenization, standardization and value protection of Credit
- Loan agreements are tokenized into freshly minted ERC20 Smart Money tokens.
- ERC20 Smart Money tokens are interest bearing and transferable.
ERC20 Smart Money tokens principal value is protected with collateral and loss provisions fund.
Interest bearing, transferable Crypto-Credit Money
- The lender will receive Smart Money tokens, which are backed up with the underlying loan.
- The lender can use Smart Money tokens to pay third parties.
- Third parties can pay other parties with Smart Money tokens.
- Interest and principal payments to the Smart Money token holders are done automatically at the loan expriration.
Private fixed income fund
- The lender can define his investment rules and set up his own private fixed income fund
- The lender can relax – this fund invests as an automated investment engine
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is managed through a combination of collateral, loss provisions, legal enforcement of P2P contracts, credit scoring, and many other methods.
Automated Crypto Credit Scoring
All borrowers will be ranked via:
- Analytics of borrowers social media profiles
- Analytics of borrowers Ethereum address history
- Psychometric analysis
Good Credit Score results in relaxed collateral requirements and in better interest for the borrower.
Loss provisions fund
- Lenders and holders are protected with the loss provisions fund
Loss provisions fund takes over in adverse market conditions.

Lenders / Investors
-
You remain liquid. The freshly minted Smart Money tokens, backed up by the loan agreement, are distributed to the lender.

You can use the freshly 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 loans are principal-protected via collateral and loss provisions fund.

All loans are based on legally enforceable, P2P loan agreements. The loss provisions fund will initiate legal proceedings against non-performing borrowers.
Holders

Compared to our Competition
-
Most of our competitors are controlling your crypto assets private keys – in SmartCredit.io it’s you and only you who controls your assets.
-
All competitors are using overcollateralized lending and are preparing for the worst – in SmartCredit.io it’s your Credit Score which drives your collateral requirements. It’s in your hands to improve your Credit Score by providing more data.
-
None of our competitors (except Dai) are tokenizing the loans – SmartCredit.io standardizes, tokenizes and value protects the loans. And makes them transferable.
-
Dai is not paying interest – SmartCredit.io does. The loans are tokenized and respective holders will receive interest from the borrower.
-
None of our competitors has a loss provision fund – SmartCredit.io has it. Loss provision fund will jump in in adverse market conditions and will compensate the lenders/holders.
