The crypto ecosystem is experiencing sluggish expansion, and it's more than just technical challenges at play. The market suffers from inefficient and scarce credit options. However, a possible remedy may be on the horizon. Let's explore in detail 🧵 ... — 📌 The Current Crypto Landscape Traditional finance employs relending and fractional reserves to greatly enhance credit availability, stretching well beyond the initial capital pool. This has led to a substantial chunk of financial assets being linked to credit, leverage, and debt—estimated between $300-$350 trillion—out of a total $469 trillion in global assets. On the other hand, the crypto market does not currently leverages fractional reserves. Only an estimated $30 billion of the $2.5 trillion in cryptocurrency holdings are used for lending purposes. Blockchain is well designed to support a fractional reserve banking system. With liquid assets and a transparent ledger risks are significantly mitigated. However, @relend_network aimed to shift this dynamic. ... — 📌 Relend - Lend. Relend. Repeat. In essence, Relend Network seeks to boost credit availability by implementing a relending strategy that leverages the fractional reserve token standard known as ERC-7770. By using ERC-7770 or reTokens, token holders automatically become lenders, and borrowers generate new tokens when they borrow. Interest is allocated among holders through rebasing. Additionally, with ERC-7770, any ERC20 token can be borrowed by default. This approach produces a money multiplier effect similar to that of fractional reserve banking. For illustration: ▶️ A user deposits $1000 into Relend Network ▶️ Multiplier set to 10x, making available amount to loan $10,000 ▶️ Borrower interest rate is 3% ▶️ Interest split 50/50 For this scenario, let's see how it affect lenders and borrowers: ▶️ By starting with a $1000 deposit, the lender can enjoy a 15% APY from credit utilization. ▶️ Borrowers pay a 1.5% interest rate on their borrowed funds, reflecting part of the interest accrued ▶️ Should borrowers choose to trade their interest-earning USD for different assets, they must cover the entire 3% interest charge. Relend Network achieves this by keeping all credit within its system, unlike traditional systems which require multiple lending cycles to achieve a similar outcome. ... — 📌 Relend - Solving Liquidity Fragmentation Relend Network offers a unique bridging feature through a developer-implemented contract, enabling the transfer of fractional reserve assets from Relend Network to various L2s by creating equivalent L2 tokens. The backbone is its canonical lending market—a structure of collateral/debt pairings. Borrowers offer collateral to obtain debt tokens and must repay them to retrieve their collateral. Differing from conventional models, this setup doesn't rely on direct lender liquidity. Instead, debt is generated on-demand and is removed from circulation when repaid. All loans require over-collateralization, and the platform initially targets blue-chip assets with riskier assets listed via credit delegation. By design, this system prevents the liquidity fragmentation common in single-collateral/single-debt markets, while allowing the collateral to accrue yield. ... — 📌 Relend Pre-Deposit Campaign Looking to dive in now? Relend Network collaborates with @bprotocoleth and @BlockAnalitica to bring you RELEND Units through @MorphoLabs vaults. Here's why it's worth considering: ▶️ Pre-depositing in these vaults allows you to accumulate RELEND Units, with multipliers that vary by vault. ▶️ Once launched, pre-depositors can start relending, potentially enjoying up to 30% APY in returns. ▶️ RELEND Units might put you in line for potential future airdrops. You can also farming RELEND Units via Telegram (link shared after this post), though keep in mind that Telegram points don't match the unit tally from the pre-deposit vaults.
