The Future of Undercollateralized DeFi Loans: Illusion or Reality?

5 months ago


Decentralized finance (DeFi) has become one of the most successful blockchain applications. However, lending systems, particularly undercollateralized DeFi loans, remain a complex challenge and a missing piece for mainstream adoption.

Credit Systems in Traditional Finance

Credit systems in traditional finance have evolved from privileging the wealthy to data-driven models assessing creditworthiness. Nonetheless, numerous problems persist: data breach risks and limited access to quality credit services.

Credit Systems on Blockchain

DeFi eliminates the need for trust through automation, using smart contracts to ensure transaction transparency. However, the trust issue remains key: why lend money to someone you don’t trust? Many DeFi protocols like Aave require over-collateralization to minimize loss risks for lenders.

Potential of Wildcat in DeFi Lending

Wildcat offers a new model for undersecured loans in DeFi. Instead of over-collateralization, Wildcat assesses borrowers' credibility and leaves counterparty selection to lenders. Such approaches, combining blockchain with traditional legal systems, aid cryptocurrencies' real-world integration.

Models like Wildcat offer alternatives, but sustainable undersecured DeFi lending remains uncertain. Balancing decentralization with risk management is key to building a more resilient DeFi credit system.
