In general, what's our value prop?
For stablecoin issuers:
- Quality collateral with weak correlations to other DeFi assets
For DAOs looking to borrow:
- Extremely cheap cost of capital
- Easier access to fixed rate lending
- A very flexible model that accommodates a wide gamut of use cases
- Want to do a zero coupon rolling?
- Need a line of credit?
- Etc...
- Credit As A Service (CaaS)
- Supercharge usage by syndicating the DAO's credit to users of the DAO
- unlock revenue generation to back these assets, even if the DAO is unprofitable
- Minting vs Mining
- There's been a lot of work to improve how liquidity mining is done, but there are many emissions that are meant to bootstrap usage of the DAO's product.
- PCV for Index Coop products may not make a ton of sense as Index is looking for more holders of their indices.
- We propose that stables generated from a loan can be directly drawn from the line of credit and distributed in lieu of the project token.
- Ability to deposit productive versions of assets in order to reduce carry
- Many treasuries will hold ibBTC or aDAI in order to generate a return on treasury assets, and allowing these as collateral makes the onboarding process for new DAOs easier.
For DAOs looking to lend:
- Improved DAO to DAO relationships
- Strong R/R compared to other market opportunities
For Institutions:
- Access to a familiar model of financing (revenue backed and based financing)
- More regulatory certainty, (optionality for whitelisted pools)
- Higher rates than other sources in Tradfi
