0 replies \ @lendasat OP 15 Aug \ on: Introducing: Escrow-Less Bitcoin-Collateralized Lending bitcoin
CORRECTION:
As @supertestnet correctly points out in #648625, the protocol we propose is not trustless. The linked whitepaper does not claim such a thing, but our original post here used the word "trustless" incorrectly.
A DLC-based protocol necessarily involves an oracle, which acts as a trusted third party.
Sorry for the mistake.
We're addressing an existing market need by providing a solution to minimize risks for users. This way, users can still borrow against their Bitcoin while maintaining control over it.
"If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry."

Good to know that you're not our primary target for this product.
People are massively using trust based and centralized/custodial services, we're offering an alternative!
Unless you borrow and repay some USD-denominated amount of bitcoin. That would make more sense. And it is probably something like it, since we have an oracle in the system.
Yes, this is how it works. The loan you take is USD-denominated meaning the exact sats amount will vary.
Lendasat aims to make it as simple as paying a lightning invoice for instant bitcoin-collateralized loans.

Thank you for your insight.
Our goal is to create the best user experience while offering an instant and non-custodial service.
A 19% interest rate seems quite high; a market-driven interest rate would likely be more reasonable.

There is going to be an originator fee of 1-2% and an interest e.g. 1% on the loan. The originator fee is only to be paid once and the interest is to be paid on a monthly basis.
Is there going to be some sort of calculator?
We don't have one yet, but if you search for loan calculator you may find many useful resources.

Sometimes, you need something immediately, but it might not be the best time to spend.

The liquidation point is reached once the collateral is not able to cover for the original principal + interests anymore.
Lets assume a LTV ratio of 67% and a loan of $5,000 at the market price of $65,000. You'd have to put up a collateral of $7,500 or 0,1154 btc.
If the price drops to $43,333, the collateral of 0,1154 would have reach an equal value of the original principal ($5,000), thus the liquidation point is reached.
This simple example ignores any fees and interest to be paid, what would change the liquidation price.
