Important Clarification on Lending and Borrowing
Liquidium’s lending and borrowing model involves two key roles: lenders and borrowers. Here's how the process works:
Lenders provide Bitcoin as loans and earn interest (in Bitcoin) on these loans based on the APY.
Borrowers use assets like NFTs or tokens like $DOG as collateral to borrow Bitcoin.
Note: DOG tokens (or other collateral tokens) are not lent out to earn interest. Instead, they are used solely as collateral to secure loans. Interest is earned by lenders who provide Bitcoin, not by those holding or depositing DOG tokens.
This distinction is critical to understanding the Liquidium platform’s mechanics.
APY (Annual Percentage Yield)
what is shown to the lender
((1 + Interest_Per_Duration / 100) ^ (365/Days_in_term) - 1) × 100
Interest (BTC) Paid
what the borrower pays in interest on a loan
Loan_Amount * (((APY/100) + 1)^(Days_in_term/365) - 1)
Interest Rate Per Duration
what is shown to the borrower
100 * (((APY/100) + 1)^(Days_In_Term/365) - 1)
