About the Bloom Protocol
The Bloom protocol is a new standard for
global credit.
Built on
Ethereum and IPFS, Bloom brings credit to the modern age with an end-to-end protocol for identity attestation, risk assessment and credit scoring.
Bloom is not a lender, but a platform.
Bloom offers solutions to
cross-border credit scoring and identity fraud while at the same time expanding credit globally to 3 billion new individuals and improving scoring methodology for all 7 billion people.
How BLT Works
Bloom is a
global credit and identity ecosystem.
The token provides an added layer of security to the network by mitigating fraudulent identity creation.
Additionally, the token ensures the network remains free of influence from states, banks, and central actors.
This is achieved by gradually turning over control elements to BLT token holders. Lastly, the token serves as a payment and settlement mechanism for the network.
To recap, Bloom’s token, also known as BLT, is useful in the following ways:
Security While the network is in its infancy without a wide array of attesters, it is more susceptible to attack.
In order to increase the immediate resilience of the network, users will be required to put up a small amount of BLT as collateral for users who they invite.
This collateral serves as protection against a mass-scale network of malicious accounts.
Scoring Proposals Our token is ultimately the voting mechanism for the BloomScore.
Token-based voting allows us to root out bad actors and keep the system stable and provide influence to those who are contributing most to the network.
This is also the primary mechanism of defining future changes to the BloomScore.
Payment Our token serves as a network currency for verifying identity and assessing creditworthiness with independent vendors.
Roadmap & Timeline
The Bloom Protocol will be developed in
5 major phases.
Bloom Invitation System & Voting Phase 1 will allow for users to use BLT to invite their friends and colleagues to seed the initial network securely.
Users with BLT will be able to vote on early development-related proposals for the future of the network.
Bloom Identity Matching Phase 2 will deploy an application allowing users to verify their identity and get matched with their BloomID.
During this phase, users will be able to confirm identity information and connect data for BloomIQ.
Credit Staking Peer to Peer staking modules will be built first, followed by organizational staking.
Creditworthiness Assessment Phase 4 will allow users to check their score, as well as open up a developer ecosystem to lenders to check a given user's BloomScore,
providing sufficient privileges are granted from the loan recipient.
Bloom Credit Protocol Launch + BloomCard Once the risk assessment and scoring protocol is complete, Bloom will launch the BloomCard.
The BloomCard will serve as a brand new way for individuals to display creditworthiness and improve their BloomScore.
