[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Approach:

- Build a platform with lending pools that offer fixed interest rates and fixed loan terms;

- The user's collateral for the loan will be supplied to Liqwid to generate yield for the pool. When the borrower repays the loan, the collateral tokens will be withdrawn from Liqwid and returned to the borrower.

Major Features:

In this proposal, we're focusing on the fixed-rate borrowing product. In the bigger picture, we’ll develop other modules to support this fixed-rate borrowing module, allowing suppliers, borrowers, and other users to participate in this ecosystem easily.

This proposal's key feature is allowing borrowers to access loans with fixed interest rates and fixed loan terms. This makes financial planning easier for users and minimizes risks from interest rate fluctuations.

Audience:

This project will attract a wide range of participants within the Cardano ecosystem, including those seeking stable financial solutions, liquidity providers, and borrowers. By offering a platform that prioritizes safety and predictable opportunities, we will attract those who are currently underserved by existing options.

提案されたソリューション:

アプローチ:

• 固定金利および固定期間の貸付プールを提供するプラットフォームを構築します。

• ユーザーのローン担保は、Liqwidに供給されてプールのための利回りを生成します。借り手がローンを返済すると、担保トークンはLiqwid (https://liqwid.finance/)から引き出され、借り手に返還されます。

主な機能:

本提案では、固定金利の借入商品に焦点を当てています。将来的には、この固定金利借入モジュールをサポートするための他のモジュールも開発し、供給者、借り手、その他のユーザーが簡単にエコシステムに参加できるようにします。

この提案の重要な特徴は、借り手が固定金利および固定期間でローンにアクセスできるようにすることです。これにより、ユーザーの財務計画が容易になり、金利変動によるリスクが最小限に抑えられます。

対象:

このプロジェクトは、Cardanoエコシステム内で安定した金融ソリューションを求める人々、流動性提供者、借り手など、幅広い参加者を惹きつけます。安全性と予測可能な機会を優先するプラットフォームを提供することで、既存の選択肢では十分にサービスが行き届いていない人々を引き寄せることができます。

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

• Encourage more users to participate in the borrowing platform thanks to reducing the risk of fluctuating interest spiking.
• Our project demonstrates and encourages composability and interoperability between dapps of Cardano.

• 金利の変動リスクを軽減することで、より多くのユーザーが借入プラットフォームに参加することを促進します。
• 私たちのプロジェクトは、CardanoのdApp間のコンポーザビリティと相互運用性を示し、奨励します。

[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

Some of the development team’s experiences that were relevant to this project:

• developing smart contract on Cardano, working with some audit partners;
• deep investigation in Liqwid systems, and also the Pendle project (https://www.pendle.finance/);
• project management with Agile - Scrum method;
• strong QC team with experience in working with audit partners;
• the infrastructure is managed by a strong and dedicated for Cardano projects Site Reliability Engineer team.

The product is being developed on top of Liqwid (https://liqwid.finance/).

Therefore, we are confident in the feasibility of this project.

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The cost of project would be small since our proposal is built on top of Liqwid.

It uniquely showcases and promotes composability and interoperability between Cardano's dApps.

Compared to the Optim project (Fund 11 - optim-account-unleashing-dapp-innovation, Find 11 - virtual-ledger-layer), the cost of building this product is small.
