The Yield Protocol is a standard for a token that settles based on the value of a target asset on a specified future date, and which is backed by some quantity of a collateral asset. We call these tokens “yTokens.”

You can create yTokens by depositing collateral, then sell them to effectively borrow (and short) the target asset. Buying yTokens is economically similar to lending the target asset. The effective “interest rate” received by yToken holders is determined by the discount at which yTokens currently trade, as well as the time to maturity.

yTokens can also be used as a building block for more sophisticated products. While each maturity of yTokens has a fixed expiration date, you could build a perpetual product on top of it, by implementing a pool that invests in short-term yTokens and automatically rolls them over upon expiry.

StableCredit is an upcoming product in research & development that combines three pillars of existing DeFi infrastructure: Minting synthetic debt (DAI, Synthetix); Decentralized lending platform (Compound, AAVE); Automated Market Maker (AMM) functionality (Uniswap, Sushiswap).

StableCredit will enable users to deposit assets as collateral and obtain a line of credit (denominated in StableCredit USD) based on the dollar value of the assets at deposit. For example, a user can deposit 100 LINK and will obtain $1,100 worth of StableCredit USD (at the time of writing LINK is ~$11). StableCredit USD can then be traded for other assets available in the protocol.

Exchange rates between StableCredit USD and assets in the protocol are determined by price feeds from oracles (Chainlink), and current utilization ratios of assets within the platform. For example, if liquidity providers have lent 100 DAI to the pool and 90 DAI is borrowed, the utilization ratio is 90%. Similar to how bonding curves work, there will then be a significant premium for any additional DAI borrowing (the cost to borrow DAI will be > $1). Users will be able to borrow up to 75% of the value of their collateral (i.e., utilization ratio of 75%).

The AMM will also support single-sided liquidity exposure for liquidity providers (LPs). Current popular AMM models, such as Uniswap and Sushiswap, require LPs to deposit both assets in a liquidity pool. For example, in a ETH-USDC liquidity pool, the liquidity provider would be required to deposit ETH and USDC in a 50/50 ratio. This increases the barrier to entry for liquidity providers and also the capital requirements. Single-sided liquidity provisioning will enable LPs to deposit only one of the assets in the liquidity pool (i.e., either ETH or USDC). As a result, the barriers of entry to be a LP will be greatly reduced, and should contribute to an overall increase in capital efficiency.

SALT lets you leverage your blockchain assets to secure cash loans. We make it easy to get money without having to sell your favorite investment. SALT streamlines every step of the loan. The application process has been simplified by focusing on the value of the borrower’s blockchain assets instead of their credit score. Borrowers are automatically matched with capital from SALT's extensive network of lenders. SALT keeps collateral assets safe in a fully-audited, ultra-secure architecture during the life of the loan so members can borrow with confidence.

Spectral Finance is on-chain credit scoring system and novel collateral subsidization model, to solving undercollateralized loans in DeFi without doxing a user’s identity while incorporating practical recourse measures.

Spectral Finance benefits from the first-mover advantage. They are aiming to tackle on-chain credit assessments and undercollateralized lending primarily on-chain and without doxing their users.

Spectral Finance is developing a — first-of-its-kind — credit risk oracle and loan underwriter that will serve as a middleware solution for the entire DeFi ecosystem, namely the credit markets. The credit ratings generated by Spectral will determine the amount of collateral required by a user.

Spectral’s credit ratings are determined by three factors:

On-chain financial history in DeFi
Credit delegation by other users
Off-chain data points (optional)

Empowered by Spectral, borrowers will now be able to purchase under-collateralized loans from leading DeFi protocols such as Aave or Compound. By doing so, Spectral leverages the robustness and supply-side network effects of the existing DeFi credit markets to optimize capital efficiency.

The Spectral protocol will be responsible for posting the collateral needed to service the over-collateralization ratio required by most DeFi lending protocols.

Spectral will manage its own liquidity pool. Liquidity providers are motivated to provide the financial capital needed to post collateral, in return for an interest rate that corresponds with a borrowers credit risk.
