Key Takeaways

  • SmartCredit.io's long-term vision is a fully self-custodial "Decentral Autonomous Bank" (DAB) that replaces traditional banks - same capabilities, but clients control their own assets.
  • Core banking services already live on SmartCredit.io: credit lines, fixed income funds, investment funds, portfolio management, liquidation protection, rate analytics, and KYC under MiCA 2024.
  • Unlike traditional banks, the DAB has no custodial control over client funds; transactions are on-chain and self-custodial.
  • Uncollateralized credit remains the final piece not yet implemented.

SmartCredit.io started as a fixed-term, fixed-interest borrowing platform. SmartCredit.io's long-term vision is to launch an AI-driven "Decentral Autonomous Bank" (DAB).

DAB offers the same functionality that traditional banks offer. However, the DAB doesn't control client assets as traditional banks do - clients have self-custodial asset custody. The clients choose which services of the DAB they use and are not locked in to any service provider.

The key functionalities of traditional banks are:

Feature Status
Self custody Available via self-custodial wallets
Payments Available via self-custodial wallets
Credit and Lines of Credit Implemented via Credit Lines
Lending and Fixed Income Funds Implemented via personal Fixed Income Funds
Investment Funds Implemented via Personal Investment Funds
Portfolio Management Implemented via Broad Portfolio and Categories based Portfolio
Liquidation Protection Implemented via Protection Agent
Rate Analytics Implemented via Compare Historical Rates
Transactions Monitoring Implemented via ChainAware.ai AI-based Crypto Transaction Monitoring
Fiat conversion and Exchange Implemented in partnership with LetsExchange
KYC Implemented. Active under MiCA 2024 and FATF Travel Rule frameworks.
Uncollateralized credit Pending

When DAB is fully implemented, traditional banks will no longer be needed. Everyone will need only their wallet and access to SmartCredit.io.

FAQ

What is a Decentral Autonomous Bank (DAB)?

A Decentral Autonomous Bank is a self-custodial financial platform that delivers the same core services as a traditional bank - credit, lending, investment funds, payments, and compliance - without the bank holding client assets. Clients keep custody of their own funds at all times.

How is SmartCredit.io different from a traditional bank?

SmartCredit.io does not hold client assets. Funds are held in users' own wallets and interacted with through on-chain smart contracts. There is no central custodian that can freeze, confiscate, or lose access to deposits.

Which traditional banking services does SmartCredit.io already offer?

SmartCredit.io has implemented credit lines, fixed income lending, investment funds, portfolio management, liquidation protection, rate analytics, fiat conversion via LetsExchange, and KYC under MiCA 2024 and FATF Travel Rule frameworks. Uncollateralized credit is the remaining planned feature.
