White Paper

White Paper: https://github.com/ETHLend/Documentation/blob/master/ETHLendWhitePaper.md

What is ETHLend?



ETHLend is a decentralized peer to peer lending application built on top of the Ethereum Network, using blockchain technology to enable secure and transparent lending.

ETHLend is developing a global lending market where borrowers and lenders from all parts of the world can participate in lending. The aim of ETHLend is to provide a transparent and global lending market and to erase interest rate differences between countries by providing more liquidity to local lending markets. ETHLend solves key issues regarding to collaterals, decentralized credit rating and exchange volatility risks, which enables the concept of decentralized lending experience.

The team behind ETHLend consists of 20 people who share the same aim to deliver decentralized lending to everyone. ETHLend differs from most blockchain startups by the fact that the team introduced their alpha release in early May this year. Based on the practical findings, ETHLend provided a detailed White Paper on how decentralized lending might revolutionize the lending industry permanently.

The DApp - Experience Decentralized Lending

ETHLend DApp is located at https://app.ethlend.io

You need to install MetaMask Google Chrome Add-on and set MetaMask to Main Ethereum Network.

For Testing use https://test.ethlend.io and set MetaMask to Kovan testnet.

Videos on how to use the DApp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb6fzGXADho&list=PLf4N4wF5YKdoJDIe2D_Cg4cXWa-ruMpV5

DAPP Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2013399

Source code released on GitHub on 1 September 2017 during ETHLend Meetup event.

Upcoming Token Sale



While ETHLend is continuing to develop the decentralized application further, the team also revealed details on the upcoming pre token sale. ETHLend introduces LEND token for contributors who are participating in the token sale. The main utility function of LEND is the ability to use it for paying deployment fees on ETHLend with a 25% discount compared to ETH. Additionally, ETHLend shall provide other privileges for LEND token holders based on the community suggestions once the DAPP has grown into a full scale lending market.

The participants in pre-token sale will receive 20% bonus tokens as a reward for early contribution. The funding aim concerning the pre-token sale is 2 000 ETH (6% of total sold token), which will be used for financing further research and development of our decentralized lending application. The purpose of the pre-sale is also to prepare for the upcoming official token sale on the 25 November 2017.

ETHLend pre-sale ICO details:

Starting:   25.09.2017 kl. 12.00 GMT
Ending:   25.10.2017 kl. 23.59 GMT or when the cap is reached

TOKEN FOR SALE:   60 000 000 LEND (6% of total sold tokens)
LEND TOKEN PRICE:   30 000 LEND = 1 ETH
(price includes 20% bonus tokens for all pre-sale participants)

Pre-sold tokens are deducted from the 1 000 000 000 LEND sold on official token sale.

Remaining LEND:      25 000 LEND = 1 ETH


Buying Unused LEND back - Burnbacks

Buybacks are used to remove inefficient and unused LEND from the market to avoid price decrease on LEND and to strengthen the position of the DAPP users.
Buybacks increase the value of LEND by limiting the total supply of the token and by increasing the percentage of the ownership of token holder’s LEND. Buybacks mean that ETHLend will use part of its fees to buy LEND from exchanges and burn these tokens (erasing the tokens forever).

ETHLend derives cash-flow when loan requests are deployed or funded. These fees are in place to fund the development of decentralized lending on ETHLend. Currently, the fees for deploying a loan request is set to 0.01 ETH, which the borrower pays. Similarly, the lender pays 0.01 ETH for funding the loan (these fees are subject to change).
ETHLend will use flat 5% of these fees to buy LEND from the exchange to burn the LEND. Moreover, additional 1 to 5% is used on top of the flat 5% fee depending on the fee volume growth in ETHLend (compared to previous year’s volume). Therefore, ETHLend can use as much as 10% of the fees for buybacks to increase the value of LEND and the percentage of the ownerships of token holders by decreasing the total supply of LEND permanently. The buybacks start on January 2018. Here is a demonstration of the fees used for buyback:

First year (during 2018) = 5%
5% + additional 1% if fee revenue is 20% higher than in previous year
5% + additional 2% if fee revenue is 40% higher than in previous year
5% + additional 3% if fee revenue is 60% higher than in previous year
5% + additional 4% if fee revenue is 80% higher than in previous year
5% + additional 5% if fee revenue is 100% higher than in previous year

Creating more value for the DAPP users. The buyback model provides value to use for holding LEND. Therefore, buybacks motivates to use the token due to the increasing added value effect. When the price of LEND is increasing, the DAPP users can spend less LEND for paying the deployment fees.

Secondarily and indirectly, LEND provides token holders cash-flow. When the percentage of the token holders ownership is increasing, the token holder can sell the increased portion on every burn to realize profit. This makes LEND sought after token.

The aim is to deliver strong token to the market and reward the token sale participants for early involvement.

Token Sale Smart Contract

Currently on security audit. After the security audit, the code is released on GitHub with the report.

Added information on the DApp.

Hmm... where did all the comments go? lol [edit]

[sud]

Concept sounds very useful, and you have product already. Is dApp functional now? I mean can I borrow my ETH? LEND can be used for fees instead of ETH? Can I set interest rate?
Sorry for all questions, haven't got time to read all the info. Will try to check whitepaper tommorow.

Do you plan any bounty campaigns?
