Recently, THORChain's lending protocol has been activated, changing how we think about interest, liquidations, and loan expirations in #DeFi. It allows users to lend their native Layer 1 assets, such as #BTC and #ETH, in exchange for a USD-denominated debt. 1. Collateralization and Debt Issuance: To begin lending on #ThorChain, users provide BTC or ETH as collateral. This collateral is used to issue debt in the form of TOR, ThorChain's stablecoin. During the deposit process, the user's BTC/ETH is converted into #RUNE, ThorChain's native token. This RUNE is then used to generate TOR, ensuring that debt issuance remains fully collateralized and the protocol's assets are protected. 2. Borrowing and Repayment: Users have the freedom to choose between borrowing TOR or other THORChain-supported assets such as Thor.BTC. This borrowed debt becomes accessible in the borrower's account without the burden of interest rates or rigid repayment deadlines except for the 30-day minimum loan term. 3. Deflation and Inflation Dynamics: As borrowers repay their loans, it directly affects the value of ThorChain's native token, #RUNE. If the value of your collateral rises while the price of RUNE remains stable, controlled inflation occurs. Conversely, if the price of #RUNE rises, less minting is needed, potentially leading to a deflationary scenario. ThorChain's lending mechanism is designed to encourage deflation of RUNE, aiming to stimulate demand. 4. #ThorChain's new lending feature comes with smart ways to manage risks, learning from #Terra #LUNA. ThorChain has thought of ways to handle risks, such as the Circuit Breaker, Safe Against Collateral Changes, Sharing the Risk, and Extra Safety with Collateral. 4.1 Circuit Breaker: If making too much RUNE might push the total supply too high (500 million RUNE), the lending stops. Instead, the Reserves jump in to help repay the loans. 4.2 Safe Against Collateral Changes: When the loan starts, swapping collateral for RUNE shields ThorChain from trouble if the collateral's value falls. This approach avoids a risky liquidation process. 4.3 Sharing the Risk: ThorChain spreads the risk of loans across the whole network. Everyone who holds RUNE helps support the loans. This way, no single person or group takes all the risk if things go wrong. 4.4 Extra Safety with Collateral: Borrowers must give more collateral than they borrow (from 200% to 500%). This extra protection helps ThorChain stay strong even if the market gets shaky. 5. ThorChain Lending offers a new way to borrow and lend money in the world of #DeFi. They have changed the traditional way of lending and have added ways to manage risk. This makes the process of borrowing and lending money simpler and better. Feel free to like, retweet, and follow us on X to support us. Please also comment below with your thoughts, we would love to hear your idea and analysis on ThorChain Lending. https://twitter.com/wagyuu_uu/status/1699431432462950513
