The latest version of the Bandot ALPHA testnet is online: The unsecured lending module has begun testing. We would like to invite users to experience the new unsecured lending testnet, and join our promotion activity to win an IBO whitelist allocation.
Initial Bandot Offering: Bandot first release will adopt a whitelist model.
In December last year, we launched a public test of the stablecoin mortgage module testnet and received support and feedback from a large number of users. Here, we want to thank everyone for their support.
Today, we have completed another important milestone. In the new version of the Bandot testnet, the unsecured lending function has been achieved and is ready for testing.
In the previous version of the stablecoin mortgage module, the Pandora testnet functions included — pledging DOT from Polkadot.js to exchange bUSD stablecoins, reversing bUSD back to DOT, and redeeming DOT from the testnet.
In this testnet, some basic functions of unsecured lending are realized:
What can a lender do?
Deposit assets in the loan pool and authorize a certain amount of guarantee to one or more specific wallet accounts.
Withdraw the remaining assets of the current account any time.
Loaned funds will receive a certain annual interest rate.
What can a borrower do?
After the first step of KYC, the funds guaranteed by the lender can be loaned out.
Repayment to the lender at any time.
Repayment funds need to pay a certain annual interest rate.
