DeFi-powered Consumer Loans

7/5/2023

Problem to Solve:

1. DeFi is too over-collateralized, where one has to put > 100% of their loan amount as the collateral, making it unviable for real use cases, leading to only speculative use cases.

2. On-chain reputation and credit scores might solve this in the future, but not in the near term.

Possible Solution:

A potential solution would be to:

1. Accept Capital and Liquidity from DeFi, where primary and secondary marketplaces of loans can be created.

2. A FinTech does collateral and profile underwriting and KYC to ensure legal compliance and enforceability and acts as a Frontend.
