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.

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.
