Checking Out Lendroid, The Decentralized Margin Trading Protocol

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Lately I’ve been checking out some Ethereum projects that will help facilitate institutional ownership and trading of cryptocurrencies.

First was dYdX, a protocol for decentralized financial derivatives. And then I looked at Dharma, a protocol for tokenized debt.

Today I’m looking at Lendroid, a protocol for lending and margin trading.

Lendroid is an open protocol on the Ethereum blockchain that handles complete lifecycle of collateralized digital asset loans.

The protocol attempts to bring together lending, leveraged margin trading and short selling onto a single protocol.

Like Dharma, it’s inspired by the 0x protocol and seeks to overcome the limitations of on-chain transactions. Those limitations include inadequate computational power, latency, and impractical gas cost.

Lendroid solves this by creating an off-chain infrastructure supported by incentivized participants.

Specifically, Lendroid uses relayers and wranglers.

The relayer takes up the liquidity function, manages loan offers and order books, and provides an interface for users. The combination of all relayers will create a shared global lending pool.

Wranglers perform the role of monitoring margin accounts and can also bid to take over terminal accounts.

Relayers and wranglers get paid in LST, the Lendroid Support Token, from lenders and margin traders respectively.

Lendroid already did its Token Generation Event. In total there will be 12 billion LST and about 10% are in circulation right now.

To learn more, check out the whitepaper.

The project is led by Vignesh Sundaresan who formerly found Bitaccess, a bitcoin ATM company backed by YCombinator.

try when i have some money than i buy the BTC using your referral link Which one you think has more potential @g-dubs? At the moment, i'm backing binance in regards to their future decentralized exchange altough its quite different from this projects if i understood correctly.This post is very important for us because it is very important.

Really a great Margin Trading Protocol

Analytic information about Lendroid. I prospect the protocol improves the network more than before and the token will be profitable for us.

Binance has more potential in the near term. I like BNB too.

I am learning new things about blockchain through your blog. I have to look upon margin trading, I am unaware of it at the moment.

I'm not familiar with this project, but will have to do some digging to find out more about it. Thanks for the introduction!
