According to the company’s announcement, published on 1 March, V1 of the dForce lending protocol is a conditional offering with tightened risk control over assets. dForce said this was done to ensure the highest level of security and stability for the protocol’s users.
New assets and collateral in the lending protocol will be added through on-chain governance voting by DF token holders. Governance proposal DIP005 approved the first batch of assets, which include WBTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and DAI.
dForce Lending will offer all fundamental features of a decentralized lending protocol — a global liquidity pool, over-collateralized loans, and dynamic interest rates. The most innovative feature of the protocol is going to be unveiled in the second version, expected to launch in April 2021 alongside a flash loan feature. Called the Multicurrency Stable Debt (MSD), the feature will enable users to mint stablecoins of different currencies against their crypto collaterals and use them as collateral to hedge against foreign exchange risk.
Throughout the second quarter of the year, the company plans on unveiling more features, including Public-Private Pool (PPP), Fix-Term/Fix-Rate Borrowing, Unsecured Loans, and Credit-Line Sharing.
Launched on 1 March, dForce Lending has reached a total supply of $23.8 million and a total borrow of $8.5 million. The total value locked (TVL) in dForce increased by over 84% since the launch, jumping from $42 million on 1 March to $78 million on 9 March.
