Our aim at SmartCredit.io is to create a liberating credit system. Cryptocurrencies have entered the lending world, and the number of people who want to obtain loans in decentralized blockchain ecosystems is continuously increasing. However, more than 50% of crypto lending is based on custodial platforms.
Custodial platforms can have the following disadvantages:
This last point about APIs and widgets is exactly where SmartCredit.io adds value to the ecosystem. SmartCredit.io’s DeFi system is advantageous not only for lenders, borrowers, investors, or merchants but also for other platforms that offer solutions related to cryptocurrency systems. Other platforms can integrate the SmartCredit.io Crypto Credit API and/or widgets and can offer decentralized credit directly to their users.
If you are the owner of a platform that offers cryptocurrency-based solutions, you can integrate the crypto credit service into your platform using SmartCredit.io APIs and widgets. This integration will allow your platform to earn half the loan origination fees; the other half will go to SmartCredit.io.
Crypto projects usually build their own applications for specific capability—payments, wallets, exchanges, social media, etc. All of them have the same key issue: how to monetize their user base. For example, crypto wallets are free, so how can they generate revenue?
One way is to introduce premium models, but most projects choose not to do this. The other, more preferred way is to integrate value-added services:
This approach would allow every service provider to add value, providing services and monetizing their user base. SmartCredit.io will be a key pillar for this approach because SmartCredit.io offers credit services.
There are two ways of integration:
The first approach is much faster:
Platforms that integrate SmartCredit.io will earn additional revenues via loan origination. These platforms can monetize their user base. The key idea of SmartCredit.io is to become the backbone of credit—it’s about focusing on the credit risk and loan origination. User acquisition would be via a high number of partners, which would earn half of the loan origination fees.
All of the benefits detailed above will allow third parties to monetize their user bases. For example, let’s consider a blockchain-based social media platform. The Credit As A Service API, which is integrated into this type of platform, can enable more users to try the credit service in a short time and the platform to generate more revenue and can increase its traffic. At the end of the day, this API enhances both SmartCredit.io and the platform using the API.
SpendTrack, as a new-generation blockchain-based social media platform, is a system that allows existing cryptocurrencies to be distributed to users through content creation and other engagement rates. SpendTrack uses SmartCredit.io’s Credit As A Service API on its system.
Widgets offered as Credit As A Service can be used by the following platforms:
All these platforms can strengthen their client relationship and earn revenues at the same time.
