Interest Protocol is launching on Ethereum today, June 13th, 2022, and simultaneously starting its token sale. Check if your address is on the whitelist.
Interest Protocol is a borrow/lend protocol that adapts the fractional reserve system of banks to DeFi. Instead of posting houses as collateral and borrowing dollars, Interest Protocol users post wETH, wBTC, and UNI as collateral and borrow a stablecoin called USDi. Instead of depositing dollars into a bank and earning next to nothing in interest, Interest Protocol users deposit USDC into the protocol and receive the lion’s share of the interest paid by borrowers. While we have improved upon all of the core pieces of a borrow/lend protocol, such as the liquidation mechanism and the collateral system, Interest Protocol’s main innovation is the capital efficiency that comes from lending out its own stablecoin. Interest Protocol combines the capital efficiency of the fractional reserve system with the safety of over-collateralized loans.
