Key problems in the Crypto Lending

Too high collateral requirements – Maker and Compound have ca 350% – 400% collateral to the loan ratio. This means the borrowers can borrow little relative to their collateral
Limited choice of collateral – Borrowers on Maker or Compound have limited choice of collateral (just 4 to 8 different ERC20) – i.e. borrowers don’t have an only high collateral ratio, but they have little choice of collateral too
Variable loan maturities (loan terms) – as most of the DeFi solutions are based on the money-market-fund concepts, then loans are not fixed maturities, but variable maturities. Although this is easy to implement and convenient for the borrowers – this results in too high collateral requirements for the borrowers. Using fixed-term maturities would enable to reduce the collateral requirements
Fluctuating interest rates – most of the DeFi solutions are implementing the money-market-fund concepts. Money market funds have fluctuating interest rates. There are always herd movements in the markets. If the market thinks Ethereum is moving up, then users are borrowing DAI to buy Ethereum. This drives the interest rate of Ethereum down and DAI up. If the market thinks that Ethereum is moving down, then users are borrowing Ethereum to short it. This drives the interest rate of Ethereum up and of DAI down.
Other platforms would like to earn revenues with value-adding services for example via offering credit via an API to their clients and to earn additional revenues via this
Investors would like to earn passive income

SmartCredit.io solution to the Crypto Lending

Non-custodial lending – only borrowers/lenders control their assets; no-one else has access to the borrowers/lenders assets
Smaller collateral requirements for the borrowers than the industry standard
Wide choice of collateral for the borrowers
Fixed-term loans – this allows borrowers to reduce the collateral requirements
Fixed Interest loans – this protects borrowers and lenders aginst the herding movements on the markets
Lenders receive loan tokens (Credit-Coins). Lenders can use these loan tokens as a mean of payment (loans are tokenized and transferable)
Holders of Credit-Coins will receive interest for the loan tokens – Credit-Coins are interest-bearing to the holder
Personal Fixed Income Funds, enable a passive income for passive investors
Non-custodial API for the other platforms – wallets, payment engines, marketplaces.

Self Re-Inforcing Ecosystem

Every marketplace needs to create supply and demand. SmartCredit.io ecosystem is doing this via four key components. The interplay of these components results in the self-reinforcements and positive feedback loop. These are the key components and the benefits to respective users:

2-click crypto loans to the borrowers
Private fixed-income funds to the investors for earning passive income on their crypto holdings
Credit tokenization and transferability to the lenders, so that they have immediate liquidity
Credit As A Service API for other platforms, which want to offer credit to their users

The interplay of these components is visualized on the following picture:
