Description
Arch Lending provides crypto-backed loans that allow holders of digital assets to access liquidity without the need to sell their investments. By using Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana as collateral, borrowers can receive funds in fiat USD or USDC without undergoing a credit check, typically accessing their money on the same day while ensuring their assets are not rehypothecated. The collateral is maintained in secure custody and is never utilized for lending or other purposes. With an annual percentage rate starting around 9.50%, these loans offer flexible terms of up to 24 months, with options for pay-down or rollover, and the potential to increase borrowing as the value of collateral rises. Emphasizing trust and security, Arch’s business model ensures that clients' assets are not used, maintaining a one-to-one holding of collateral in secure custody. The platform caters to both individual and institutional clients, offering specialized services for “private wealth” individuals as well as tailored lending solutions for institutions. This commitment to security and flexibility underscores Arch Lending's goal of building lasting relationships with its borrowers.
Description
Liquity is a decentralized lending platform that enables users to obtain loans at a 0% interest rate by using Ether as collateral. These loans are issued in LUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, and borrowers must maintain a minimum collateral ratio of just 110%. The loans are further secured by a Stability Pool that consists of LUSD and by other borrowers who act as guarantors in case of default. For those interested, more information about these safety mechanisms can be found under the Liquidations section. As a protocol, Liquity operates without custody, is immutable, and does not have any governance structures in place. The core philosophy of Liquity emphasizes that its product layer is as decentralized as the smart contracts it employs. Frontend operations are managed by independent third-party operators who are motivated by LQTY rewards. Liquity was launched as a fully operational system designed to function independently, without the need for human oversight. Importantly, the contracts cannot be altered or upgraded, ensuring that no individual possesses special privileges within the system, thereby maintaining its integrity and trustlessness. This commitment to decentralization reinforces the foundational principles of blockchain technology.
